Families in houses.
Each house really a room in a large space. Maybe like a holodeck.? Always a man, woman, and at least one young child in diapers.
Others -- overseers, directors, scriptmasters, alien observers-- I don't know who or whaT they are. Very scary, mysterious and authoritarian.
First room when we were able to sneak out way outside, they came in and gave us shots that made us blind.
We did somehow get out anyway.
Into another house/room, and a different family situation that we had to escape from, either separately or together. With different tortures/punishments.
Repeat several times.
Finally make it to the "real" outside and was sitting on porch with tea and realized there were people up on the hilltops around us with weapons of some sort, then suddenly that was where we had to go. Those were our people and we had to get back with them.
We began walking and little clusters of us from inside the house met up and shared experiences --(sane but different)-- and joined up onto bigger groups as we got closer to the batteries on the hilltops.
Our people were glad to see us.
And we all talked some more, and started watching the house and we could see the isolated families going through variations of our own experiences.
We sat back to watch, ready to help them when we could without going back into that house full of houses.
We were there for them.

TV Turmoil

Booth and Brennan from "Bones" were doing something with Starsky's car. They couldn't use their team because they had somehow combined with the CSI task force and everything had to go through them.
I was watching the show while Mary was delivering gifts, donations, and food to some family that lived on the country roads in the middle of nowhere. The man's name was Jeffrey and he had a frowsy female. And they had a child.
And we had a child +(or maybe two) who was some weird combination of her Becky and Hailey. She wanted to ride in the open hatchback of the car with the Christmas tree. And the two children played in the creek and Mary went down and they came back with watercress sandwiches. Only the watercress was ferny leaves with yellow and purple flowers.
But we had to leave, although I didn't want to. Because I wanted to watch the show, but Mary wouldn't let me because we had to get the girl child/ren off the roads in the back of the car because there was no seat belts back there. And the hatchback was now the trunk of a car, and but we were suddenly driving a van or SUV. 

And I told Mary how sad it was that I wasn't going to get to see  Booth drive Starsky's car.

This was my New Years dream for 2020. (First posted January 1, 2020.) Now that  2020 has played itself out, I'm thinking we should have been warned!
