Dream: Know Your Strength

Throughout the dream, I was with Tanneese.  The first thing I remember is climbing the stairs of some apartment building similar to the dorms.  It had many floors and there were rooms on all four sides of the square building.  We were there with Tesharia and possibly some others.  I don’t remember where we were going.  Next, I was in a room, possibly a hotel room, with some other males.  I vaguely remember Nat, Brandon, and Shawn being there.  Much time was spent there but I only remember some images.  Apparently we were at some church event, either for youth or Pathfinders or something else.  The event, I believe, was held in a grand gymnasium.  Each church’s members were wearing matching shirts, possibly a uniform, class D if Pathfinders, and huddled together watching what was going on in the center.  I have no idea what was going on.  Walking around, I found Baltimore-First.  I spoke with them briefly and kept walking.  I was at the event for a long time and I assume it was eventful and there were altercations.  For some reason, I was excluded from my group just before some competition.  I found myself by Baltimore-First again and they let me join their group.  I didn’t know what the competition was when I saw them getting ready to begin.  We were up against another of my former churches; Shawn was there and possibly Nat as well.  We were lined up in front of each other and I was confused when I saw people crouching down and making fists.  Suddenly everyone charged each other and some guy tried to tackle me.  I escaped and tackled him and someone told me that if you get tackled you’re out.  Throughout the remainder of the game, every time I tackled someone, someone else would charge me before I had time to move and I would get lower and tackle them.  I was beginning to be concerned that I was tackling my own teammates.  At least a few people tried to kick me before I tackled them.  Shawn might have but it seems unlikely.  All I know is that his leg was in the air and I tackled him from a standing position so he came down hard.  As the game continued, it came down to me and two others.  I grabbed one but hesitated.  While we were all there not moving, I asked him what church he was from.  He (actually it might have been a girl) wasn’t from Baltimore-First so I threw him down using just my arms.  After I tackled the last person, I noticed everyone was gone.  As it turns out, I had injured Shawn.  I went out to the crowd of churches and saw people talking about his injuries.  They called for a salute.  I waited there for him to be marched out so I could apologize.  Nat and Bryan were drumming.  A group of uniformed Pathfinders were marching towards the exit.  Then another group of people approached from another side and I thought he might be with them.  Somehow I was rushed out of the gym.  I sat in the entrance on a bench with Tanneese.  We noticed that a large spider appeared when you step next to it.  I thought it was some kind of illusion and attempted to make it disappear by stomping.  It didn’t work.  We noticed more of them and ran to the car.  I ran past the car for some reason.  A car behind me tried to run me over.  I turned around and the car past me and parked next to our car.  I wanted to go by my seat behind the driver and yell at the person in the car, who somehow was now in the seat behind the passenger seat, but the cars were too close together.  I noticed Tesharia and Shoshana were in the car.  I climbed in the other side and we left.  The next thing I remember is some teacher or something analyzing some liquid that also happened to be on the ground where the spiders appeared.  Somehow, it accidently sprayed on the wall behind him.  Suddenly, some sound device caused vibrations on the wall in the center of the liquid.  Fractured lines radiated out from that spot like cracks.  In the center, the lines seemed to from the image of an insect, which then became real.  The teacher decided to replicate this and sprayed the liquid in a flask.  The insect appeared.  He did something to agitate it more and another insect appeared.  The first insect became a spider and ate the insect.  The teacher then explained how the driver of the car had been using that liquid to kill people with poisonous spiders.  As he explained, Tanneese and I saw images of her killing people.  The last scene was of her wrapped in bandages.  She killed her target and tore off the bandages and her wounds underneath healed.  Then some guy walked up naked.  I guess he was her accomplice.  She put on his clothes but left his penis out and started sucking it.  Then Tanneese asked me if I wanted us to do that.
