Sometimes I wonder how I keep from going under

I had a very real dream that has frightened me, badly.

At the beginning of the dream I went into a maze of sorts in a large warehouse with some friends. We arrived in a large room, the lights were flashing, and it was very dark. I hear my friend tell me there's a tiger or lion of sorts in a room. I don't remember the details. I get somewhat enslaved by a very controlling man, I'm his favorite. What he does with the other people when he's done with them, he looses them into the livestock room and unlocks the cages. Somehow I manage to displease him and he wants to kill me too, and after several intense mishaps I manage to free myself and run through the yard, into the highway and get into someones car. Every time I get into someones car that isn't Sharons, they lead me astray and I end up bailing out of the car or facing my pursuer.

I land up back in the house/warehouse/maze "working" for this person. I'm deathly afraid of them. This time around, he fastens the girls to a conveyor belt and disposes of them through a small hole in the wall. I try to get away, but I land up in some gothics girls car and they lead me back to the home. I am sitting at a table in the cafeteria when he notices me again, and so I run. I run in the wrong direction, and have to double back through a very empty room. That empty room has my red backpack in it. I can't remember if I pick it up or not, but I run to the road again and flag down someones car. The man who lets me in his car looks very familiar, in his lap are adult magazines, and he has an erection. He turns to me and says "I hope you don't mind." and turns around on the road to go back where I just came from. I jump out of the car and into another car that has the girls in it. I make it to Minorou Pavillian, but when I go inside it turns into a game. I spend a few minutes in training, knowing that the man who wants to feed me through the conveyor belt is right behind me. When I get out into the real world of the game, it is nothing but a pitch black corridor for a while. I can feel him sneaking up behind me. There is candelight in the next area of the game, and I see my pursuer has caught up to me. He casts slowing spells on my character, but misses the second time as I am going around a corner - they hit the wall. I cannot find Sharon. I exit the game. I cannot find anywhere safe to go. Because this is such a dead end, and I do not want to see what will happen to me when he catches up to me, I wake up.

This dream has not been completed.
