Short Stories with Tragic Endings

I am sitting in my college's band/choir/orchestra room and I am with a bunch of people
from my high school. We are singing some song and we are not singing badly but we are
not singing well either. I remember everything my choir director has taught us and instantly
fix my singing. I feel good about it and the dream ends.

I am at some sort of public pool. The ground around is is golden brick and there are places where
it goes back into an alley and the ground is grass instead of brick. My brother is there as well as a
few people I don't know but are my "friends". I walk around for a while and do a few things I don't
remember but then I go to the far alley where the ground is full of lush green grass. At the end of
this alley, there is a pine tree. I look at the tree and try to figure out what I'm supposed to do with
it. I try a few things but then go back to the pool. I go to the edge of the pool closest to the entrance
and look through a pile of clothes for a swim-suit. I find a grey one but then walk back over to the
alleyway. My brother goes over with me this time and we're both trying to figure it out. Suddenly, he
pulls out a chainsaw and starts attacking me with it like Doom. It is almost like in a game. My vision
flashes red and a jump up to a high alcove on the wall. He then forgets about it and so do I. I jump
back down, go over to the tree and take out a flamethrower. My brother says burning it won't work but
I use the flamethrower on the tree anyway. I literally get this menu that says "Use flamethrower on tree".
I selected that option and burn the tree. Suddenly, I see an overview game. The floor texture is a
salmon brick pattern and the walls are black. The character likes something like the avatar of the
pokemon games. I guide the character down and find the game in a darker room. The brick pattern
has changed to dark blue/purple. The walls are still black. There are enemies now and I go to fight them.
I kill one with some sort of red shot. Then one of the enemies hits me and I find I can't shoot anymore.
I then notice that the character has turned into some sort of animal. Every time I get hit, the character
turns into a more primitive animal and after a period of time the character progressively returns to
normal. I manage to avoid the enemies enough to return to normal. I kill one and get hit by another. I
run away going down into the next room and I start fighting the next enemies. I am doing better. I kill
many enemies and they progressively get bigger and bigger. The game gradually transitions to a
side-scrolling platformer similar to castlevania. I run along the floor. I see a massive white and blue
dragon-like monster and hit it with a sword. It dies. I go further and jump up on a few platforms killing
similar beasts as I go. Not much later, the dream ends.

I am in some high-contrast green field, fighting a very Kingdom-Hearts-like suit
of armor. I win but just barely. I man shows up and gives me a catalog of power-ups
and techniques. I look through and there are many dealing with that suit of armor.
One in particular had something to do with making them disappear in a bunch of
yellow stars and getting points or something. I think, "What a useless power-up",
then wake up.

I am driving down a highway road very fast with my Mom in the passenger seat. The turn comes
up and I put the brakes on full but the car keeps going. After the turn, there are pieces of concrete
in the road and it eventually dead ends. The car crashes into the barrier at the end of the road but
receives no damage. I start to back up and the dream snaps to a different road. I drive down this
road entirely too fast as well. I take a right and find myself on the same road as the front-flash. This
time, my Mom yells at me to slow down. I step on the brakes, and again, the car does not stop in
time and we crash into the barrier. I back up and turn around, the other drivers are looking at me.
I drive up and turn onto the off-ramp. The road circles around to the left and suddenly, I find myself
on that road but not in a car. My mom is standing next to me and there is no traffic. I somehow have
a box of cornflakes and I pour some in my empty coffee mug. I then pour some steaming milk into
the cereal. I forget about the box and the milk and, as this is a dream, they disappear. I have the
feeling my Mom and I are going to my high school. I can see the back of the stadium as if we are on
rt 100 but the road does not match. We start walking down the road to get there and the dream ends.

get information records from the chip which somehow takes video footage from my
vision. I go down a staircase on the edge of a dark town. I go through a broken down
looking wooden doorway across a board to a very run-down wooden building. I am in
a dark room and there is furniture everywhere. Bed sheets are hanging from bedposts
and the ceiling and I start crawling under all the furniture so as not to be seen. I am
going somewhere but I'm not sure. I know that this is the "head quarters" for the cops.
They are police but they also seem very much like a mafia group. I sneak out of the
building again and go back out the rickety wooden boards and up the stairs. I talk to
the head cop but he can't arrest me or anything and he shows me surveillance of me
talking to some guy in a trench-coat outside of what appears to be a grocery store. I
then go back to the hq building. I sneak through again but I am caught and have to
fight the mafia cops. I fight them off and run into a room that is let up blue by very
advanced looking computer equipment. I rip the chip out of the back of my head and
download the information to the computer. I see a progress bar on the screen. "come
on, come on... " I am very anxious. Finally the download finishes. I remove the chip and
destroy it. I then load the information onto a flash drive and take it. I win. The dream ends.

A recurrence of this dream only instead of succeeding and removing the chip,
The mafia cops had managed to download the information remotely first so I
got in a huge fight with them and won.
