This dream too place mainly in third person. The two main characters were played by Will Smith and Harrison Ford. I do not recall their names. The setting was sort of a wild west place/time, although the slaves had been freed several years prior.

In any case, the two main characters really didn't like one another. They had both been summoned to a particular rich man's home. It turned out to look more like a castle from the outside, but the inside was apparently a huge labyrinth. Once they both entered, they were locked in and had to find their way out. At first they took different routes, each refusing to travel with the other. Eventually, however, their paths would converge. Throughout the maze, there were various challenges. Monsters to fight, puzzles to solve, etc. The last challenge required teamwork to solve but could only accommodate one clear winner. Harrison Ford took the win.

Both participants then went on to a huge stage, and a large crowd of what looked like automatons filed in. They were androids, but made out of Victorian clockwork. They then proceeded to give the reward for making it through the labyrinth. Harrison Ford stood on a raised platform, while one of the automatons climbed up to the top of what looked sort of like a telescope. There he loaded a cylinder into a small hole and then smashed it downward with his hand. This caused a beam of light to instantly vaporize Harrison Ford. From the vapors rose a light, which then chased down and flowed into Will Smith, who kind of got vertigo and then passed out.

When he woke, he found himself very confused by his body. What had happened was that the consciousness of Harrison Ford and Will Smith had been completely integrated into one mind. This wasn't two minds in one body, it was everything together seamlessly. Basically, they had become a new single person who was mentally a complete combination of the two, yet inhabiting the body of Will Smith. From then on, it was kind of like a really messed up thought experiment. Both characters had a wife and a daughter, but he could only see one as Harrison Ford's wife and daughter were afraid of him (being a black man in the old south). Additionally, being around Will Smith's wife was uncomfortable because it felt like cheating on Harris Ford's wife. Then there were the random interactions with people. Imagine simultaneously experiencing superiority, fear, and hatred along side compassion, friendship, and camaraderie... with EVERYONE you met. Every single human interaction, including internal dialogs, was a mashup of emotions, biases, and confusion. The task then was to resolve those issues, untangle the confusion, come to terms with those emotions. Otherwise, there was no possible way for this person to function.

I wish the dream had continued, but I woke up around there. I imagine that if it led down it's logical progression that the two men would be separated again, and become friends or something. All in all, that was a pretty awesome dream.
