last night i dreamt

i was in my car, in a crowded parking lot, waiting to leave. i think there was a shootout or something right in front of me, but someone's gas tank exploded and got gas all over all the other cars. there were explosions everywhere, and as i sat in my car, things kept flying into my windshield; mostly parts of cars and people. i got out, kept very low to the ground, crawled through a neighboring car, and ran as fast as I could, zigzagging through the cars, to the back of the parking lot where my family was.
once I got past a certain point, things weren't flying at me anymore, but it was still extremely dangerous, and no one else in the parking lot seemed to realize there was a back way out. my family and i ran up to a huge old church at the back of the parking lot, to try to run through it and escape. someone had abandoned a jeep at hte entrance, but it wouldn't drive through just one doorway, so we opened both doors, and i got an axe from the fire kit on the wall, and chopped off the strip between the doors so we could drive through.
Once we were inside, we had to run, and there weren't many people. The exit was down the stairs, so we ran down a huge dark wood set of stairs into the grand hall, but all the exits were locked. The people in the main entry didn't seem worried about leaving at all, so i was the only one who cared enough to try and open the windows or doors. I got a window open, and the entire section of wall fell out. Outside, 5 feet away, in a thick patch of ivy, was a white van. The door was open, and there was a thick layer of spiderwebs over the floor. someone cleared them out, and we started to pile in to escape. Another man came up to us and asked us if there was room in the van for him, so we let him in too.
