Dream I had thismorning (for wiggi)
Ok so this dream was based off half life 1. Which looks like this http://www.roketdownload.net/pictures/24734.jpg

So I was running through several maps having to kill aliens to survive. Then I got to this last map. At the north end of the map was a evil tower in water. Didn't know much about the tower except that it was evil, and looked exactly the one in the black mesa damn map in half life 1. Thanks to google I manage to get a picture of it. It's hidden behind the damn here:

To the east of the tower were water monsters, and alien slaves which shoot lightning at you.
There was a road running east to west across the center of the map, coincidentally resembling the road running accross the top of the damn. One side had the evil tower, other side had seats like in a movie theatre all mangled up. I started hiding behind these seats for cover on the west. Behind me to the south was a small hill leading up to a damaged two story building, that we never actually got to. This entire place was in a giant cave, although I never looked up to see if there was sky or not. But judging by the rock walls everywhere, I'd say it was a cave. Rock walls were the same as the ones shown in this picture.
Once I had killed the aliens trying to zap me, I hopped over the seats and travelled west down the road. So after about 30 seconds of walking I was at the other side of the map. There I met a whole lot of people just like me and we were all heading to this shelter. Which was a concrete two story half life 1 styled bunker. The doors were all sealed or broken, but we could still get in through the windows.
So we all had a look in the bunker, after not really finding much inside we all met outside. There we established that inside the tower was all that was left of an evil ruler. This evil ruler had somehow managed to put himself inside of a computer, and he had a lot of control over what happened in this map. We then discovered that we were being kept here because of that tower. It wouldn't let us go until we constructed a momument which would be recognised on an international scale, so this evil ruler would never be forgotten. All the time we spent not doing this we would be punished for it.
We were all standing in plain sight of this tower, so we went around the back of this shelter so it couldn't see us talking. Seriously, that tower was really creepy. When we were hidden, we found that the back wall of this bunker was the confectionary section from a supermarket. Except all it had was packets of liquorice. This was all the food we had to eat. So we said "ok what's the good stuff, we'll save that for last" Then the man who was good at liquorice said "oh these are the best" and he threw a pack to me so I could have a look. When I caught the pack it opened. And I was like "ohh crap" then handed the liquorice out to everyone.
So I took a bite of my piece and spat it out instantly cause it didn't taste right. Then we realised one of the ways this evil tower was punishing us was taking away our ablility to taste stuff. And all we had for food was sweets. So I slowly ate the rest of the liquorice inside in a corner of the shelter.
The next day we said, okay lets just build this monument and get out of here. We all agreed and went out infront of the tower to start building. When we were there, standing in front of the tower looking at eachother, we began to think of what to build. At the same time everyone had this exact thought "what the hell are we supposed to build!?!" and together we all ran back to the shelter feeling pretty stupid.
None of us knew how to build international scaled monuments. Couple that with the fact all we had to build with was mangled rows of movie theatre seats. We totally had no idea what to do.
So later that day we had a pet cat. We all loved this cat. But each day we didn't somehow manage to build a gigantic monument this cat would get hurt. Then on the day it had toast marks all over it we decided to put it down so it didn't have to suffer. Only problem was we didn't know how to painlessly kill a cat. So I was the one who had to do it. I started strangling it, and the cat didn't fight back at all because it understood what we were doing and it actually wanted to die because its life was so painful.
That was about the point I woke up in horror 10 minutes before my alarm which I forgot to set would have gone off. As a result of this, I managed to get to uni in time today.
