Maybe it started out differently, but I was trying to buy candy. There were some pretty nice people around, like this little girl, that tried to help me, but I didn't have enough money, so I went home.
But home was in chaos. I ran into this group of people that were probably my friends in the dream because we were so comfortable around each other, although I didn't recognize them. We had to run away from these dirty gremlin/goblins, like the one Harry Potter gave the other guy's sock to, except much more crouching and leaping and insane-ing.
The next morning I saw something really strange out the window. This cloud that looked like a plump housewife without much detail (no face for example) was standing up. She picked up her skirts and left, following the other human-like clouds wherever they were going. The adults I were with woke up when I saw other clouds come over from the other side and this gray fog. I was surprised to see that there was only two things I noticed left; I'd have thought they'd leave. One was of a beautiful woman's head (or, the shadow of her head, because I could see her hair and head like it was a shadow since it was white like the clouds) and something else.
So, yeah. The adults woke up and asked me what I saw, since I'd woken up at around first light (I guess I was really restless). I told them and won of them said to the other something along the lines of, "See? I left." I was confused.
Then the friends are suddenly back because even if something happened in between, I can't remember. So we were walking along a hallway that looked a lot like it was a school one. I recognized lots more people, but my friends were still strangers. There were a lot more of those gremlin things. The streets and buildings were covered with them. One of my friends brushed the other and they got shocked. "It's all the carbon dioxide in the air," one of the adults said distractedly. I saw no clouds out, and the smog hung thick and close.
Since we were mainly girls, we went to the girls bathroom but don't ask me why. We didn't need to use it. Some boys came in, too, but there was this boy on the inside who tried to shoo them all out. It wasn't really any use, though. Then, for some reason, a girl started ridiculing the hair of a middle aged teacher who was at a desk outside next to this other woman. So the teacher said, "It rocks. There's even someone down there who has it, too."
They all crowded around me and a few others at the window, trying to take a look. I stopped looking, however (I hadn't really been that excited on looking anyway, it was just something to do.) when I saw one of my best friends out there. She didn't see me and was smiling at her group. I realized that there must've been a whole class out there, although I didn't catch what they were doing. But I knew it was unsafe out there, with the smog coming closer and the goblins already here. I knew there was something about that woman's head I'd seen at dawn. I couldn't see it anymore.
Maybe this was all prompted by the book I'm reading, The Key to Rondo by Emily Rodda, although I'm only on page 42 and not that far yet.
