Riot Girls...

This was an odd dream which left me with the feeling that it meant something, but I don't know what that is yet.

I was in a shelter specifically for battered Muslim wives which was run by a group of women.  The name of the organisation was Riot.  There were three women who worked in the centre; a slim brunette, a slightly chubby brunette and a slim, mousey haired woman.  The last of the three women was the reason I was there (I'll get to the other reason in a bit).  They were attending to a battered wife at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to her.

A bit later on, the shelter was closing for the evening.  By this point I seemed to be the only person in the building.  I stepped outside and it was dark.  I also discovered that this shelter was situated in the middle of a park.  There was a weird purple light emanating from behind some tall trees several feet in front of me, and I could see a shadowy figure on the ground by the trees.  I wanted to take a picture, but something told me to get inside and close everything up.  I also sensed that something strange was about to happen.

I went inside, activated the automated shutters which covered the windows.  There were also a secondary set of glass screens from inside the shelter.  These screens were pulled over the front of the windows and secured by a Yale lock.  I had forgotten to lock some of the screens and just as the shutters were coming down (they were quite slow), I spotted some strange humanoid creatures trying to get in from the outside.  One of them was pale and looked like a woman with no face.  Another was a hunched, brown creature that growled.  I recognised this second creature as the thing I had seen by the trees earlier.

I managed to shoo them away and secure the shelter without any further incident.  It turned out that I actually lived in this building too, and after turning off the lights, I went downstairs into the basement.

Downstairs, I met the other women from earlier and a few others, but I'm not sure if they lived there or not.  Everyone was sitting around in what looked like some sort of common room, drinking tea and chatting.  There was also a door in this common room which lead to an underground passage which linked to another building.  Someone opened the door and a big built built guy stepped out.  He was a bouncer who was also affiliated with this woman's shelter.

So in summary, we were all part of an organisation that helped battered Muslim wives in particular (not sure why they were specifically Muslim women) and we used buildings connected by secret underground tunnels.  There also appeared to be creepy demon-like creatures running around outside during the night.

As before, this dream left me with the impression that it meant something, but I don't know what.  It seems very random and not really connected to anything I can think of, but if anything comes to me, I'll post an update.
