I had another dream about a dystopian futuristic society. This time it was a police state run by these aliens that looked like the Martians from Mars Attacks! (especially the skeletal faces, bulging eyes, and exposed brains enclosed by glass bowls, except in my dream their brains were much smaller).
It was a very technologically advanced society, but it was morally backwards and artistically, intellectually and spiritually barren. There were generic dance clubs and extravagant shopping malls all over the place, probably as a means to distract people from how empty their lives were so they wouldn't try to rise up and overthrow the totalitarian government. Everyone had to check in with the police at least twice per day to make sure they were living their lives as they were supposed to, and if they were found to be breaking any laws, some unknown horrible thing would happen to them.
I checked in with the police, then went clubbing with my friend. We ended up hanging out with these two stereotypical male club kids who were trying to get in our pants, and the one I was talking to rudely insulted me after I didn't respond to his advances. I was bored, uncomfortable, and felt I was just being dragged along in a situation I would kill to be free from.
I ended up breaking a law by the end of the day. I don't remember what it was - maybe I just had a thought I wasn't supposed to have - but I got caught at the evening check-in w/ the police and they started firing these lasers at me. I happened to be wearing one of their glass bowls over my head, which somehow kept me from being fried, and I ran out of the building. I probably should have tried to escape the city, but instead I went back to the clubs, simultaneously trying to hide from the authorities and to pretend the situation didn't exist.
