this dream was chaotic and loud. I remember struggling but what overshadowed everything was when i pulled into a business parking lot looking for a job and another car pulls in the car is in bad shape and a young mother steps out she's on the phone screaming the music is loud and she has a baby in the back crying as well. she gets out and handles the baby very hard. She then grabs a gun loads it and I get on the phone I'm panicking asking for what to do. the person on my ph9ne says it could be a game it could be a toy I don't know the situation I said even so this is not right. the person on the phone says be careful the lady will attack and kill me next so I try to inform the person on the phone information discreetly while keeping my eye on them. the lady makes eye contact with me I overt my eyes. I hear a gunshot. I am jumpscared and on the phone the tears rolls down my face. the baby is no longer quiet. the woman goes inside she may be going for an interview too. I took the opportunity to get out and get the baby. she was slumped in the carseat and head tilt I got the baby out. I take the baby and hold her to my chest. I haven't assessed whether or not she's dead I knew she needed to be held. I take the child and get in my car and park in a hidden location not far from the original place. and I call the cops informing them of everything. the cops are asking for more information so I give descriptions while watching the scene. I circle the building still holding the baby and I get the license plate and I'm watchful of who's around me. I hide again and I am told to check the baby. the baby is quiet but no visual damage. I try feeding her no response I try waking her no response I can't tell if she's been harmed but I am not going to be her back in the car. the cops said without evidence I may be arrested for kidnapping and I said that's fine. the mother comes out of the building and is scathing she's on the phone loud and is circling the area. hunting. I hide again she sees me and rolls by 2 or 3 times but doesn't catch me. the baby starts to wake a few moments later but that's when everything is closed and it's quiet the mother cycles again threatening people lives on the phone. I rock the baby hard and slow talking to her saying I need for her just to listen to me right now the baby coos we dodge danger once more. the mother leaves I am no longer concerned about the job interview the cops haven't arrived yet. as I talk with the baby she's the most prettiest baby I've ever seen and I hold and play with her I check her for any bruises but I don't see any. we look at her and I think to myself do I have what it takes to be a mother. I said regardless of my fears she needs me and we play together and the baby smiles
