DREAMS

Being in an interior with a few people - all females, I think, except for at least one male child. I felt I was getting to know them, getting used to getting along with them. At one point, it seemed that one of them discovered that an antagonist had arranged a way to induce sleep in at least one of the women there - as if a device had been planted in the home which was set specifically to send her to sleep. At that point, several people repaired into a different room; worried that this was an 'ex' stalker situation, and that he'd been inside the place, I followed. The woman I thought'd been sent to sleep then explained that what the antagonist was after was a statue of the Virgin Mary she had, and I relaxed, as the situation had now devolved into something more like trite soap opera cliche, or so it seemed to me.

In some scene related to this, interacted briefly with the boy-child. Might or might not have been in water ( a pool). Thought he clung to me for a bit, but that then someone else coaxed him away.

Also maybe related - had a sense of going upwards - climbing a slope, or perhaps being on a hillside in some way. That people wre about, perhaps buildings. Vague sense of worrying about possibly having to face some antagonists of some sort. Possible race to get somewhere first, or get through the equivalent of some course. I think I had a companion, but not clear now on who (or what) it was.
