The other dream jumped here. I was driving around SE LA with work bestie and my twin besties. Apparently they were along for the ride (?).
It was a small old model Ford car and while I know it was daytime, everything was muted. Like colors weren't as vibrant. I don't know if it was over multiple days or not but I know we met with a few people but it was only like 10:00AM and our next meeting wasn't until 2:30PM so we had some time to kill.
Of all the places for us to be having meetings...we were in New Orleans East (WTAF). One of the twins suggested we go to Jazzland to kill some time. Ya know the NOLA Themed Amusement Park that was sold to Six Flags and has been defunct and abandoned since Katrina!!!
Except in my dream it was still open so we got a day pass. As we walked through the gates everything turned vibrant. Picture Wizard of Oz when Dorothy goes from Kansas to Oz. It wasn't too crowded but had a lot of people for a middle of the day weekday. So we were walking around and work bestie was like this place is small but really neat.
The twins beelined it for a "haunted egyption" ride and me and bestie wandered to another area. He nudged me to look at a "Top Gun" ride that launched you up a zip line like a fighter jet. It was a two person single car thing and made the jet noises. But I ended up walking over to this slide thing. Like you got in a inner tube type thing and loop de looed all over the place. No shoes of course so we removed our shoes and went up. I somehow got tangled in the crochet tube (WTF) and went down weird but it was super fun.
When I got to the bottom the twins were waiting and like "where are your shoes" so we went on the hunt for them. They weren't in lockers....the were like tossed around in what looked like a living room. I was panicking because I really liked my shoes. Then I found them... they were my Doc Martins. Why I would be wearing those for work meetings is beyond me.
I put them on and we realized we lost Bestie. It was early afternoon and we needed to get to the next meeting. But instead of them herding us (like a huge group of people) back into the park, we were herded into like a banquet hall and a private party was happening so they herded us down a barely lit hallway that reminded me of the Haunted Mansion or tower of terror ride and before we knew it we were outside the gates.
I managed to keep track of the twins but we needed to find my friend. So I tried calling but couldn't get him. This was weird. Like I knew something was very wrong because he wouldn't just leave us. They wouldn't let us back in even with the day pass armband so we had them page him over the PA. And I remember saying "oh he's gonna love that!".
Hours went by and he didn't show and I was freaking out a little and so were the twins. After nightfall they were doing some sort of show that reminded me a bit of Halloween Horror Nights. Like we could see the pyrotechnics and hear the actors from outside. Finally around 8PM we snuck in with another group to go find him. The twins kept saying "he wouldn't just leave us!".
I ended up in some theater with a bunch of people looking at a stage. I honestly don't know what happened but they started screaming and a hand would burst from their lower abdomen/pelvic area and slap their stomach. Then a brand that looked like a clawed hand would appear. I have never run so fast in my life. What in the devil worship insanity is happening?!?!?!
I ran into the haunted egypt ride and was being chased by these people with brands yelling for me to join them and hissing (WTAF). I don't know what happened but something occured in the egypt ride and a "higher" being poured blood over me and crowned me queen. That's when I saw the twins and they both had smaller crowns and lace (?) dresses. The blood turned into an intricate design of a dress and streaked my hair with red highlights. The higher being looked like princess Diana but with dark makeup and a fitted to flowing black and red gown.
She said we needed to leave now and at this point I was almost in tears, I can't find my friend!!!! She looked at me and said she had saved someone from the branded group...a sacrifice. She "anointed" him something but he was not very cooperative. They brought him out in chains. It was bestie. He had a black eye and a gash on his head. His long sleeve button up was torn from the shoulders so it was sleeveless and he also had the "blood designs" on him. He looked ready to murder someone until he saw us. Lots of hugs and OMG are you okays later and we were being escorted out of the park by the higher being and her entourage. She was talking about how she was so happy she was able to ascend the queen (what?!). And I was like "what about the other chick that ascended???"
This made the higher being freeze. She said "what other chick?". I explained that during the branding in the theater another woman was on stage and they were crowning her because I was running away. She started laughing but like a "are you f**king kidding me" laugh. Then she said "you must leave now. Another queen should not have been crowned. You and your knight are in danger". Knight?!?!!?!?!?
So we head to the rental in an EMPTY parking lot. Where the f**k is everyone?!?! The twins are like "are we royalty now??? What the f**k just happened???". Its insanely late and pitch black. Like almost no lights except the moon. He gets the car started and the green lights on the display say 2AM. We were in there 6 hours....how??!!?
Then bestie in his truest fashion goes "I don't know...but I am really pissed we missed that only happens every 7 years meeting". What?!?!?! 1. He's not even been with our company 7 years! Hell, I just made 7 years!!!! and 2. did you forget about the sacrifice blood magic queen and knight thing?!?!?!
