Dream 6 - A Woman Leads Me Astray

I dreamt once again that I had developed supernatural powers. In this case it was telekinesis. I remember mainly using it to have minor objects fly into my hands to save me the trouble of walking over to them to pick them up. A remote, my keys, a can of Ragu, etc. It also dawned on me that I could probably make a good living as an entertainer of some kind, using these powers in some kind of big Vegas magic show or something like that.

Happy about this prospect, I went out for a walk. I noticed a moderately attractive woman jogging about 30 feet in the air along the wall of a large building. This gave me an idea for another use for my newfound powers: Impressing babes. I ran up the wall along side her to chat her up, and almost immediately blurted out something like "Hey, I've got telekinetic powers! I can like, move stuff with my brain!" 


She was not at all impressed, but she took it as a conventional conversation starter and informed me of a hidden gathering place for people such as us in the nearby area. She led me to a large dirt mound in the middle of what looked like Denton, pretty much right next to some kind of busy college administration building. I thought to myself that it wasn't a very well hidden secret freak haven, but cool nonetheless. The mound had several entrances which people were disappearing into, which gave it the appearance of a large manmade anthill.

I followed the woman into one of the tunnels. The inside was well lit, but the tunnels were very confusing and I couldn't go into some of them because I seemed to lack the specific superpower necessary to enter. Some people shrunk themselves down to get into very small holes, for example. I got separated from the woman who was guiding me and ended up wandering for a while, but my sense of direction won out uncharacteristically quickly and I reunited with her.

I found her in a large, bowl shaped room that looked to me a lot like some kind of Greek temple. The room was filled almost knee high with water, and on the far side it had a raised platform on it with what could have been either an altar or a bed, it's difficult for me to remember exactly. On one side of the room there was a huge red curtain. My new friend pulled it back a bit to go behind it, and I caught a peek of a vast dark room that seemed as though it could have been seating area in a theater. She turned to me before disappearing behind it to warn me angrily  not to look or go behind the curtain. So I stupidly waited in the watery temple by the altar/bed thing for her to return.

When she did return, it was to frantically warn me "GET OUT OF HERE! If they see you here they'll kill us both! Get! Shoo! Go on now!" This pissed me off for a number of reasons. For one, I hate it when people refer to 'they' or 'it' or such ominously before it's clear what the hell they're talking about. For another, I was really curious as to what was going on here and now it had to all end in a cliched movie moment where "'they' will kill us if they see you here." In retrospect I should probably just be glad I wasn't ritually sacrificed to Cthulhu.
