The entire dream took place in and around Pleasant Valley Church. It started out that I was down in the basement (where the youth and Jr. High rooms are) and I came across Steven (a mentally challenged boy from church). He was much younger than he actually is now, and I started talking to him. Soon after, I think I was going to leave to go to Sunday School or a bible study (even though it felt like it was the afternoon/evening time) and he started crying. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that nobody loved him. I felt great pity for him and took him up in my arms and told him that I loved him. I held him there for a while as he cried.
Then after a little bit I realized that I was going to be late to my class or wherever I was going, and so I told him that I needed to go for a little bit, but I'd be back pretty soon. I don't think he wanted me to go, but we finally decided that he could wait for me at the steps that go down into the basement. At first I detached part of the ceiling to see if he could fit safely up in there, but the area was too small for him, so that was when he decided to just wait on the stairs. After I bade him goodbye for a little bit, I went down to the youth room and went in.
I think I actually ended up being one of the first ones there, and so I took a seat back in the back side of the room, and soon after several others showed up. Jerry (father of Jamie, a girl from school) was there, and so was Carrie (girl from school and church), I think, but those were really the only familiar faces that I saw there.
Jerry was leading the class, I believe, but not a whole lot really went on, and so after a little bit we were done, and we left. I went back out to the stairs, and Steven was still there. He was doing better now, and he conveyed the feeling (although I don't think that he actually spoke it) that he would be okay if I didn't stick right there with him. I think I had him to come upstairs with me anyway, and there were lots of people up there. He ended up going off somewhere, and I don't think I saw him again in this dream.
I think the next place I went was to the Fellowship Hall. They were having some sort of big meal in there, but I don't know what they had to eat. I think I caught the tail end of it, because some guy that I knew (although I can't think of his name right off hand) was cleaning the silverware. I talked to him for a moment, and then I think I found Natalie (from Papa John's) in there somewhere. I was very happy to see her, and I offered to drive her or walk her home. She said okay, and we went out to the parking lot.
There weren't as many cars as there were people that I had seen inside, and she was walking towards this old dark blue station wagon that reminded me somewhat of the old Peugeot that we used to have. Again I offered to drive her home, but it turned out that this was her car that we were walking to. When we got there, we decided to do something, but I can't remember what the decision was. So we ended up walking/running down by the little narrow driveway that led from the back of the parking lot to the side road by the custodian's house.
After this, the next thing that I know is that we were back inside the church, and I was going down into the Jr. High room, although there was something major going on in there. As I went in, I saw that the room was no longer a room (and I think I also noticed that Natalie was no longer there) but that the "far" wall from the door had been blown away, and it turned out that from there we were on a huge cliff of some sort. It was now night time out, and there was some sort of battle going on. It seems like I could hear explosions and stuff in the distance, but I'm not sure. I saw this sphere looking thing that I think was supposed to be some sort of "evil" thing that needed to be killed before it "got us", and so I started messing around with some of the "weapons" laying around.
The first thing I messed with was a bunch of what looked like blowgun darts, but they didn't go in a blowgun. You were supposed to stick them into the pores in the palm of your hand and between your fingers, and so as I did this, I wound up with at least 30 needles sticking out of my left hand. I then "flung" them (it's about the best that I can figure that I did with them) and tried to hit the sphere thing that was now heading towards me. I got it some, but not very well. Then I picked up this little thing that was like a cross between a short straw and a green bean pod, and I put it up to my mouth and blew. A couple of black seeds shot out, and I knew that there were many more in there. I hit the sphere with those, but it didn't stop it. It was only about 7 or 8 feet away now, and a little off to my right. I blew again, and I just kept blowing out in a single long breath. The number 15 comes to mind, but I can't remember if I blew out 15 seeds in rapid fire, or if I blew for 15 seconds. Either way, I got this thing that was coming after me.
I then realized that some girl/woman was fighting with me. She was built a little big, and she had very dark brown (almost black) hair that was curly and cut to the top of her neck. She had been down over the side of the cliff fighting, and she was coming back for more ammo, I think. I then realized that I needed something else that could work more quickly, and so I got someone that was standing there at the door to get a phone so that I could call Jason (from Papa John's) and ask him if I could borrow a knife of his. So when I talked to him on the phone, he was more than happy to let me borrow it, and he left immediately to bring it to me.
I then found more green bean pods on the ground next to where I was laying. I opened one up, and I saw several of the black seeds that I needed, as well as some regular beans that I didn't need. I had pick them out and sort them out, throwing out the ones that were edible and put the black ones (which were hard and dry) into the shooter I had just used before.
While I was putting them in, Jason showed up with his knife, and at the same time, Grandmamma showed up. She was asking something about what was going on, and I think she asked if it was a bible study we were doing in the room. I was there thinking "nope, it sure isn't" and I knew that she'd have a hissy-fit reaction if she saw the chaos in the room. I didn't even look up, and I heard her approach the door and I heard her get upset about what was going on.
Right after this she left, and I continued to thank Jason for the knife, and I think I put more seeds into the shooter pod. I then tried it out again, but it didn't work as well as before. I didn't feel that I had time to learn how to do this effectively enough, so I went with the blowgun darts/needles again. I put several of them (probably about 50 this time) into my left hand and then I woke up for a moment. As I did, I could still feel the needles in my hand. They didn't hurt, but it just made my hand feel tight and tough to move.
I then slipped back into the dream a moment later, and I was no longer in the Jr. High room war zone. I was walking behind the same girl I had been fighting the spheres with (but this time she was smiling, and she had longer hair to the middle of her back, and it was lighter in color), and she was with her boyfriend. We were heading into the Sanctuary of the church, and her boyfriend went in first, then her, then me, and then Natalie was back (I think) and she followed me in. We sat in the very back pew on the right hand side, and I remember being afraid of sitting too close or touching the girl on my left because of her boyfriend getting upset. As I sat down and faced the front, it felt like there was a wall of people in the pews in front of us, and I think they were all standing. It turned out I was wearing my suit, and I was very uncomfortable, feeling like I was strapped into some huge immovable thing.
