dreamception

So I had this dream in a layout of a building which I've had before.  The same story, the same escape route, same panic.  But this morning's version started off differently... If Im not wrong, if the dreams hadnt meshed together, I would be that I was in the library picking some books. Then. I chanced upon red books. They were about vampires.  The scene changed, where 3 people including myself and 2 other family members were suspended on a hammock above a dark area and then we took turns to roll off the hammock onto a landing and jumped down onto the lower leveled hammock, trying to escape.  I was hero, trying to hook the third hammock to some scaffolding to help the rest. Wow. Scaffolds. and hammocks. and hooks. and dark building. Wow.
Then it became my old dream where everyone in my family tried to escape from some captors.  Dad, cousin and some aunties chose to stay behind to deter the captors, giving us the opportunity to escape.  I had the responsibility to lead the young kids out to safety. But. Leaving my loved ones behind? I wonder if I would really have left in real life, or I will stand strong by the one for all, all for one.  So the kids ran ahead while I turned back to give aunt a big hug. And looked at dad, mum and several others one last time, before running into the passageway.  Then I turned right into a room.  After locking the door behind me, we sat at a canteen (apparently there were diners there, oblivious to our predicament).  And then we spied in the distance, OMG THEY ARE COMING! and we panicked all over again. But if they were coming, what have happened to those people who had stayed behind to deter them? *cries*
Then, I awoke.
In the dream, I knew everything had been dreamt before. In my escape route, I already anticipated the next route because, I know the route having dreamt it. And I know that I was revisiting the same place. Just that this time round, the dream had more detail. I remember it better and felt the emotions stronger.

I wished I wouldnt have to leave people behind ever, in real life. I thought to myself in my subconscious; I have nothing to lose, except you guys.
