I dreamed that I was visiting a place where I used to work and I was seeing how everybody was doing there. Then that I was walking home, but I had to hike up through this valley and had to make it over a ridge about three or four hundred meters away. All of a sudden I was hiking with a group of people and someone said "lookout, they are shooting arrows!". I looked up to the top of another ridge on my right side and there was a group of people shooting arrows down at us. Thousands of arrows flying toward us. I managed to get behind some rocks but a few arrows did brush by me. None of the arrows penetrated me, but some of the arrows did hit me. This shower of arrows happened about three times.
Then I remember walking down this street in a commercial part of town. I walked into this rather large building that had numerous shops inside. One of the shops was a convenience store, like a liquor store or a smoke shop. As I was passing by I looked inside and noticed that someone was holding up the store with a gun. I kept walking and pretended not to notice, and I pulled out my cell phone and called 911. I started to tell the lady on the phone that there was a hold up taking place and I walked outside to find out what street I was on. It took me awhile to figure out what street I was on, which tells me that I was somewhere foreign. After I told her what the address was, I went back inside for some reason, and the police had already arrived and were moving in to apprehend the suspects. But it turned into a gun fight, and the suspects ended up leaving the building and firing a rather large explosive gun at the building. I remember seeing one wall explode from what must have been a grenade or a bazooka. The fire from the explosion practically reached me, and suddenly I saw my wife, but we were both okay. After that I think the police did manage to catch the suspects.
