My mom and three siblings were with me. It was A, S, and J. Only A is actually my sibling in real life, but S and J were my mom's ex-boyfriend's children. We were standing in a movie theatre/general store type thing. There were up to six aisle's on the right, and the check-out counter looked like the snack counter at a movie theater, with the listing of movies above the counter. Someone came around the counter as I was standing there, to talk to a fellow employee. I overheard them ask, "How much are we getting paid, $2.50?" I turned in shock at the low payment, only to realize that one of the employees was my friend's older sister. I automatically assumed they were tipped heavily. Then, I was distracted by my mom, who emerged from one of the aisles followed by my siblings with a shopping cart filled with what turned out to be Monster energies, which looked nothing like Monster energies. They were like the standard can, but extremely tall - about three times taller than a typical energy drink's can. We all got different flavors, and mine was orange. We checked out, and then went out to the car, where we fought over who sat where. J (the youngest) called shotgun, so S and I got into the back seat and I sat on the left, she sat on the right. It was a bench seat, so there was a seat between us, but neither of us wanted to sit next to A so we told him to get in the far back (where a third row of seating typically was, but the seats were down, so it was serving as a trunk). He decided that instead, he would lay on the floor, so we rolled our eyes and let him do that, even though it would be less comfortable than just agreeing and going into the back. The car suddenly started moving, but not with the sudden jolt that tells you that you began moving suddenly - more like the dream skipped, as in a movie where it skips the boring stuff where everyone's putting on their seat belts and whatnot. We were going up and down the hills on the way to the town where we go to school, and I didn't recognize the roads at first because forests seemed to have filled the areas where there weren't trees beforehand. Also, it was winter, and the land was blanketed in what looked like freshly fallen snow, which I attribute to the coldness that's been around lately with Autumn rolling in. I asked where we were, and S said, "I don't know, where were we?" Then I realized, and said, "Ohhh! We're on our way towards the school. Well I feel dumb, considering we go this way on the bus every day." (I no longer ride the bus.) She agreed, and then abruptly the car went over a hill, did a roll, and everything vanished for a few seconds. It was completely white, and when I 'resurfaced' I had no idea where anyone was. I started looking around, for my siblings or my mom. I wandered aimlessly over the hill, screaming their names and looking for them. After a few minutes of this, I saw S. My brothers A and J were nowhere to be seen, but I had forgotten about them. I started looking for my mom, and we gradually started to meander in the direction of the school, which was just about a mile farther up the road. (I go to school/will soon live in a small town.) We got to the top of a hill and all of a sudden saw a huge pickup truck (looked like a Nissan Titan on steroids) headed straight towards us, with its headlights on for no apparent reason. I assumed it was a pedophile - not sure how I came to that conclusion - and at the time, I was with just S. I told her to turn and run, and we did. We raced down the hill at top-speed, and as we reached the top of the next one, we threw ourselves into the bush. For some reason, there were three, from what I could make out, people, selling grape juice like a lemonade stand. We hid behind their stand and as the so-called "pedophile" passed, they started to shout at us to "get out, get out!" Moments later, we did, and in the field next to us I saw my brothers J and A riding a scooter - electric Razor type thing. I called them to us, and we made our way the rest of the way into town. As we got there, the dreamscape turned into a water-park setting, with a bunch of small lockers you could pay to use on the right and the actual waterpark on the inside. My siblings said that they were going to go inside, and started to get excited, and I said "Well I'm going to look for my mom. Because for all I know, she could be out in the cold dying!" All of a sudden, my mom walked into view from behind the lockers, in a peach bathing suit with a sun hat on. "No I'm not!" she said. I stared at her in disbelief and I got very mad, very fast, just looking at her. I started to yell at her, tears jumping into my eyes. "You didn't think you could tell ME that? You didn't think I would be worried?! Is it so hard to just call me and tell me that oh, I don't know, you're not DEAD?!" I started to cry, and turned around and began to run away. To my surprise, there was a large group of people gathered, sitting on boulders in various places around the courtyard area just behind us. I ran up the hill, looking away from all of them, ashamed that I made such a scene. I kept my eyes on the ground as I ran away, tears streaming down my face. The dream ended.
