I had a dream too

So I don't very often remember my dreams, but luckily for everyone, when I woke up this morning, I quickly went over to my table and scribbled everything I could possibly remember from the very vivid dream I had last night in my Ext 2 notebook. I couldn't remember all of it, and so just noted down things from when I could remember, which was about halfway through the dream. Here goes!

So, from when I remember, I am talking to Katie about really old buildings. To this, Katie responds, "What about those old Chinese buildings? Y'know they're like, [big number starting with 11] years old, right?"
At this point, the environment we were previous in, which I don't remember, suddenly morphs into one of these pagodas, which we start walking around in. To my slight surprise, the interior of the pagoda is somewhat ruined, and not as prestigious or spiritual-looking as I thought it'd be - the floor is cracked, the walls are dirty, and the whole place is dark and shabby.
Also, y'know how in dreams, you just know things? Well I somehow know at this point that the pagoda is also a hospital of some sort. I am also somehow aware that both mine and Stephen's mothers are currently in the hospital, although it's nothing serious.
From here it gets kinda confusing, because we (I really don't know who 'we' even refers to here) walk out of the pagoda and into an area that is a combination of the bowling alley in Liverpool, the interior of the Pillar of Autumn in the first level of Halo 1, and the large entrance to Mounties where, if you look up at the ceiling, there's a big painting of a rainforest with lots of animals.

Stephen then 'returns' from where he was (because I remember vaguely thinking in my dream, Stephen's back), and informs us, in a panicked, sweaty state, that the hospital has killed his mum, and that we have to get out of here. This part got confusing for me in the dream because I follow Stephen blindly, as he runs through many a passageway and futuristic door, in dark, alien-spaceship style corridors and hallways. At some point during all of this, we encounter Jason Edward-Sharpe. I think to myself,
"What the fuck are you even doing here,"
but we ignore him and continue. After a while of this madness we go through a final door, which takes us about a hundred metres away from the previous-mentioned Mounties area, where we encounter Lehana and either her sister or her friend Av. We ask them if they made it to the gig they were on their way to, to which they reply no, to which we continue on our way out. Upon exiting Mounties, we find ourselves in the Fairfield Showgrounds carpark.

However, upon exiting, we realise that we actually want to go back inside because there is a music festival in there ('we,' from now on, refers to Stephen, Katie, who has magically reappeared, and myself) that we wish to attend. Instead of lining up in the enormous queues of people, we decide to take the much quicker option of the 'car entry,' since I had my car and was driving (????). When we pull up to the car entry, the guard stops us and says,
"Hey, you can't bring your own drinks in if you're coming through the car entry."
He gestures to the cup of Slurpee that I had forgotten about sitting in my cup-holder - looking at it, I am surprised to find that not only is it there, but the colour of the Slurpee is a shimmering, pleasant gradient of red, purple, and blue.
"Haha," I respond, smiling, "I forgot about that, sorry."
Reversing the car, I did a round and came back and tried to re-enter at the car-entry point again. The guard stops us and says,
"Hey, I told you already, you can't bring your own drinks through here."
He gestures to the shimmering Slurpee in my cup-holder, at which I say,
"LOL OMG I FORGOT AGAIN LMAO"
and Katie and Stephen say
"WTF GEN HOW DID YOU EVEN"

In conclusion, we finally get into the venue - I don't remember the final fate of the Slurpee. Once inside, Katie shows me a newspaper article that she has found in the newspaper she has picked up. The article is about the Slurpee madness that just took place - there's even a fun little interview with the guard, who, laughing, expresses his disbelief at my attempt to enter twice without rectifying the Slurpee issue.
"Haha, he just came round again and I told him, you can't take that in here, I told you already!"

The end.
