The One With the Grim Reaper

One of my horror movie dreams.  There was a town and this serial killer / mass murderer was hanging out there killing people off.

A kid said to me in the dream that the killer was there just to make headlines but he had a feeling he would end up killing off about a third of the town’s population.  I remember going to some dinner when I knew he would be coming and killing people but I hid in some little room that kind of was like a confessional.  I also remember him appearing on top of some big structure dressed like the grim reaper and killing some kid with the scythe.

The One with Embossing

I had a meeting just outside of the office of the president where I work - like the waiting area for his office. We were troubleshooting some problem and I was working on a laptop. Once we were done with the meeting, I was looking around the room and found this round, metal disc with some kind of writing engraved on it. I couldn't tell what the writing was, so for some reason, I pressed it into the back of my hand so it became kind of embossed in my skin like a notary's stamp.

Because of that stamp, I think either the president or someone else saw it but I ended up getting promoted because of the stamp. It was like that was the way they marked people as special.

I was in another meeting, this time I think with an executive and some other people and ended up getting stamped by another executive but this time on my forearm.

The next thing I remember was being with some other people who got stamped - I think in a van - and we were talking about how we had our pay statements intercepted by a guy I work with but he just made sure they we got our raises - because of the stamps we got big increases in salary.

I also remember the executive who stamped me telling me to stamp a woman I work with. I found someone with that name and stamped her but she was very old - like too old to promote, and I realized I stamped the wrong wrong. So I had to find the right one. I think that part too place in a big mansion instead of a workplace.

At one point the others that got promoted and I were near some area of the company - like a back gate, and we were trying to get somewhere but you couldn't get there from where we were because the entrance was too congested... at least that was what we said. I just remember a tunnel-like entrance outside the gate leading underground at an angle.
