Prison party

Another dream that left me with a strange feeling.

I was at a party with my girlfriend, who looked completely different in this dream.  The party was hosted by a rich couple who lived in a large mansion-like house.

As the party was coming to an end, the wife offered to show my girlfriend and I their basement, which they had converted into a spacious, but unlit communal shower stall, complete with tiled walls and flooring.  The woman proceeded to explain that they built it to hold known criminals who would remain incarcerated as long as people in the neighbourhood kept on paying them (essentially, an extortion racket).

Something about the whole arrangement made me feel uneasy and I sensed that even though my girlfriend and I were not criminals, these people wanted to capture us too.  I told my girlfriend this and suggested that we leave as soon as possible.

We went to leave, but when we got outside, the first thing I noticed was that the large electric gates that surrounded the property had been shut, locking us in.  The wife offered to drive us both home, but I suspected this was just a ruse to keep us there.  I then whispered to my girlfriend that we should climb the fence and make a run for it.  Unfortunately, she was wearing heels, so she had to kick them off as we made our escape.  I also took off the trainers I was wearing for some reason.

We then ran for the fence and climbed straight over, running off down the road.  The wife followed us on foot, but we were way quicker than she was.  We ran across an open field, my girlfriend was too scared to look behind us, but I kept on doing so to see how far away the crazy woman was.  At all times, she was some distance away, but I knew that if we let up, she would catch up to us.

Eventually, we came across some narrow terraced houses with small back gardens.  I suggested that we climb one of the walls to these properties and knock on someone's back door.  That way, the woman chasing would run straight past us, thinking we were still running across the field.  We got to back door of the house whose garden we'd infiltrated and knocked furiously.

I woke as the door was answered by a little old lady.
