this entire dream has me depressed or scared the entire time, and depressed when i wake up.

my parents and my brother have moved away and i live alone. i have no job and no friends. i live in a half destroyed, abandoned hotel. I've run out of light bulbs. there's lots before this, but i can't remember it.

at some point there was a dream inside my dream about giant cockroaches.

i make a plan to go to the apartment my family used to live in and get a plastic bag, then go through the entire apartment taking lightbulbs. that apartment is also deserted.

suddenly my brother is there and we're driving to the apartment. its strange because he's driving except me. he takes us to the wrong apartment and i tell him to go to the right one.

on his way over there, he hits something with the car. i ignore it. then i get a vision of him in court and crying and the sister of the person he hit crying. i dont think i was crying. then i go back to "reality"

i say we need to see what we hit and i get out and there's a wounded dog in the bed of the truck (which was a minivan a little while ago).

he wants to leave it and i try to get it out. i go slowly in case the dog is hurt. he gets impatient and yanks the dog out. it doesn't yelp, but when he puts it down, its back leg is wounded.

i see that we're holding up traffic, so i tell him to leave and go grab the lightbulbs while i find this dog's family.

he leaves and i'm alone with the dog. it's night time and we're in a residential neighborhood. i start to walk around and i hear a woman screaming. for a long time, i don't go anywhere. when i finally start to move, the screaming still hasn't stopped. i see a street that i think the dog lives on and as i get closer to it, the screaming gets more intense.

as i reach the opening of the street, there are two run down houses on either corner. i'm afraid of both of them.
the one on the opposite side of the street is where the screaming is coming from. i'm worried that there's a murder or a rape going on there. i decide not to go down this street.

i carefully cross the street, going past the house where the street is coming from. when i get to the point where i can see into the window, i don't see anything, but i hear a man yelling. i get scared, drop the dog, and run as fast as i can.

i get into an alleyway behind a house a little ways away and stop, and i see the man has followed me. he stares at me for a second, says something like "they were going to get us, they're still after us, i had to do it" and runs away. i'm still afraid and i don't know what to do. i try to hide from him in case he comes back and-

-i wake up.
