Last night I dreamt in 3rd person, like I was watching a movie. It was about this island where any visitor would be taken as a slave. The way it worked is that visitors to the island would arrive, and were forced to run on this highway alongside the cars, and strangely they could run as fast as the cars. When a car stopped and pulled over for a runner, that runner would become the slave of the person in the car. The story was from the perspective of one man who arrived on the island, and when he ran the highway no one picked him up, so he ran all the way to the end. At the end, there was a supermarket. He wandered around the supermarket comparing prices to those at home. Then the higher-ups notice he is ownerless, and no one on the island needs a new slave, so he is left to wander about the supermarket. In the supermarket, he notices they sell jewelry anf he makes jewelry, so he finds the jewelry selling guy and asks if the jewelry guy can sell the jewelry he makes, which is similar to the jewelry on display. The jewelry guy offers him only a pittance for his jewelry, so he is enraged and begins plotting against the island. At some point he gains control of the island (I forget how, but it was in the dream) but he becomes this evil dictator and all the people hate him. He now begins to look like a goth-y cross between Edward Scissorhands and Jack Skellington and lives in a mansion with a local woman he married who wears a wonderwoman outfit and has blonde hair. Nobody can depose or assassinate him for some reason; I think he has magical powers. In fact, at the end of the dream he taunts the natives by stringing himself up by the neck trying to hang himself, and the natives have to rush and cut him down even though they hate him, because if he dies they will all die for some reason. Oh and he forces everyone to wear the jewelry he makes, which is actually quite pretty.
