I don't remember much of my dream last night, but what I do remember was odd. There was some evil alien woman who wanted to take over everything and was killing a lot of people. There were these beings she controlled who were bald with bright red skin and fiery eyes. Even though they were organic they seemed more like constructs, as they appeared to have no free will of their own and only limited reasoning capability outside of following direct orders. They had a power that let them command people with their voice. They would tell a person to do something and the person would have no choice but to obey. I'm not sure if it was a form of hypnosis or something else, but their favorite trick seemed to be commanding people to get on their knees and then kill themselves, or they would get the person on their knees then crush them with a super strong blow from their fists.
There was a lot of running around, trying to save the world and such, but it is all blurry. The thing I remember clearly was that one of the red beings finally got near me, used their power and told me to get on my knees. I looked him in the eye and shouted "NO!" Somehow I was able to resist their power. The being continued to command me, making each directive stronger than the last, and I continued to shout "No! No! NO! You have no control over me!" The being didn't seem to know how to react to failure, and it sort of just shut down, like a robot that couldn't compute an answer and got a fatal error.
So I was able to go through the red beings without falling under their spell, but then the woman gave the same powers to a human man and he started coming after me, and somehow I realized that this was different and he would give me much greater difficulty. He ended up getting me backing into a corner and reached out like he was just going to strangle the life out of me. His power was much more potent than that of the red beings. He wasn't yelling any actual commands but I was growing weak just being in his presence. I was weakly deflecting his blows, attempting to hold him off while he tried to beat me to death. I started screaming "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
Finally this black man with long dreadlocks and glasses comes over and tackles the man so I can get away. We started running and I was like "Thanks!" but we quickly got separated and I feared he would be killed because of me. I then ran into a young girl who looked like she might be his sister, and was running around with her. More and more people were getting "possessed" by the evil woman, and people were running everywhere in a panic. It was complete chaos. I told the girl we needed to go somewhere where there weren't so many people. It wasn't safe in this place. She said she knew of a place we could go, but we would have to double time it. I looked back at the area most of the dream had taken place in, and realized with a great sadness that a lot of my friends were still in there, and the man who had saved me, but if I wanted to live there was nothing I could do for them at that moment. I had to run and try to figure something out later.
In another section of dream I was exploring this really interesting house in a little village, that seemed absurdly large on the inside compared to how it looked on the outside. There was also a man who had been doing vigilante justice and killing criminals. He was also a priest, and there was a church connected to the house. He was telling this little boy who lived in the house, who was a choir boy, how you had to trust in God and let God deliver justice. You couldn't let your heart be filled with hate. I was appalled at how hypocritical the man was being, and realized it would likely crush the little boy when he found out the truth about his role model, but I couldn't think of anything to say to make it better.
There was also a part where I was in a mental hospital, and this doctor was forcing all these injections into me as part of my "treatment". I hated it in there, and finally I realized that there was virtually no security in the place and I just walked out. I realized that everyone who thought they were trapped there could just walk free if they took the time to find the exits. Not hard to see the metaphorical value in that part...brings to mind the Devil card in the Arcanum.
