the star of my dream last night was a little girl who was very much like scout in to kill a mockingbird. her father was nothing like good old atticus though: he was crazy and abusive. they lived in a place very similar to my old house in north carolina. she tried to escape from him with her older sister, but her sister (who i think was one of the girl's from my summer camp) did not have shoes on, making it hard to run down the hot, stoney asphalt to their neighbors' house (who were almost identical to the neighbors we had in north carolina.) i was there encouraging them to run faster because their dad was chasing them. scout flagged down a car and we all hitched a ride into town to a university. for some reason, no one would help these poor girls. they ran into a treatment facility where criminals in head stocks were having their dysfunctional brains explained to them. somehow their father found them there, so they ran into a huge auditorium-style classroom. scout tried to get students and the professor to help them, but no one seemed to understand what was going on.
i think there may have been a song and dance number at some point and one of the students, who had a crush on scout, shot himself out of a rocket. in the end no one helped the girls so i think they planned on killing him in his sleep.
the dream was very cinematic and felt like an interactive movie.
