This dream has different segments in it, just for a start. The first part of the dream involved me and an explorer in front of a very steep, step-like temple or wall that had alcoves built into it. There were people surrounding the base of the temple going about their days. As me and the explorer entered one of the alcoves of the temple, we discovered furniture and more rooms. Also, from the beginning of the dream, we recognized this as a place where ancient gods lived, like Mount Olympus. Eventually, we came to the conclusion that if people believed in these gods, they would gain power and become real again. More and more people came to the temple, in the room that we were in, and now it was pretty full of people. There was a girl named Mina that I had a brief romantic interaction with in High School in real life, but in this dream we were both romantically involved, and she was there. There was another girl named Ellie which I was not interested in though she was interested in me, this being the situation that happened in real life, and in the dream she was trying to have sex with me though I was uninterested and would rather be with Mina. Everyone walked around to different rooms of the alcove, but then an alarm started going off and red lights started flashing on and off. Between theses flashes, everything was black. Water was coming down on us, I think they were from sprinklers but I'm not sure. It was all very chaotic. As people made their way out, it was the middle of the day and it looked like a sunny day outside on the side of a snowy mountain, which was not the way it was before. Almost everyone started skiing out on skis, with Mina leading the way. I was pretty far behind her, and I wanted to catch up to her so that I could be with her on the chairlift up the mountain, but I didn't have any skis. Because of this, I started to run down the mountain trail on snow with my bare feet, past all the skiers who looked fairly inexperienced. I caught up to Mina, but at the last second Ellie skied in between us. There was another guy in our group, but I can't remember his name. As we were going through the chairlift line, Mina started to go in the wrong direction but I guided her to the right place. We get on the chairlift, and start heading up. This ride was a bit unusual as there were other skiers going down on the chairlift on the other side as well. As we got further up the mountain, the sky started to look colder, and their began to be different kinds of apes in cages being transported down on the other side of the chairlift, which us in the group thought was funny and made comments about. When we got to the top of the chairlift, we were dropped into a building-like structure that looked like a TSA checkpoint or a passport inspection office in an airport. Instead of going through there, we turned left onto the other side. The group behind us got off the chairlift, and started arguing about the Israel-Palestine conflict. As they were talking, I was taking bullets of a fairly large caliber out of my pockets, and then smaller bullets out of my right pocket that looked like they were made of wax. After that, I woke up.
