I don't usually comment on dreams in my LJ, but I'll make an exception.

terrie01 (not for several years now, but on some level forever) and I had uncovered some piece of information with earth-shaking effects that the government wanted to suppress. We had to travel alone out of the area of discovery before reuniting because the police were looking for us and it was thought that we would have a better chance of not-getting-caught if we didn't travel together on foot. terrie01 had a vehicle, provided by her father, that we would be using just as soon as we got out of the area of danger. The problem was that she didn't know the area and I didn't have a means of contacting her and we were separated before we could pick a rendezvous point.
All right. I planned to find a phone somewhere and contact her. (How? I dunno.) Which was great and fine, except that I got picked up by the mall cops while ducking through the mall. I tried to sweettalk them and walk away, but that got me an (inactive) taser pressed to my forehead as one of them sweetly explained that there was a "shoot on sight" ruling out on me, but they didn't WANT to shoot me, so could I just come along? I did... except that they got distracted by some sort of disturbance in a department store, so they had to go there (with me) and stop that, and the group of arrestees being taken to the holding cell (since when do malls have holding cells?) just got bigger and bigger. I kept trying to talk to people walking past whenever the mall cops' backs were turned and asking them to contact my parents, here's my name, here's my phone number, I didn't do anything wrong, there's been a mistake but these guys won't listen to me, please.
And then I turned around and found out that the mall cops had misplaced me. Their group of detainees had gotten SO big that they'd forgotten to bring me along because I was on the outskirts talking to some new bystander and trying to get the guy to phone my parents. Some of my high school classmates were in the crowd, and they were pointing to the door and signalling me to run for it. I went to the door... I went outside... I thought about being shot on sight by real cops... and I went back inside to try to track down mall security and say to them "hey, you forgot me!"
Very weird night.
