Dreamed there was a day like the movie "The Purge". It was Halloween, and people dressed up as flashy warriors and other fighting types of people armed with weapons or however self-defensive, and the broadly understood idea was that we were to "play war" that day. A lot of people took it seriously, and there were police cars driving around everywhere. There was a sort of seriously creepy "fun-ly understood" animosity between people, so nearly everyone was encouraged...to fight each other, yet people were to keep it to play fighting. Several crazies took it seriously. My family seemed to be vaguely participating, but only in play fighting, and eventually, we gave it up, and took it upon ourselves to scout around our neighborhood to see what was going on after we had seen several police cars driving by (and for some reason we lived in an apartment complex we used to live in). We only found a group of young teenage boys "play fighting" on a more serious note, wrestling with each other, but we still got the notion that someone somewhere was getting seriously hurt. It was a dark day for the whole world, much like some day in the 80s where people made light of violence even though it was more prominent than it is today.

Frightening...
