I should have written this one down sooner because as the morning draws on more and more of it fades, but here it goes...

(Not the full dream, but the part that I remember the most)

My brother and I are about to start watching a movie. In the dream, he calls it "Scream" but it's not the same movie we know of the serial killer in the white ghost mask.

The movie starts off with showing 1 person, a woman, panicked, sitting down at a desk in dark call center or agency like room, no cubicals, just open space. As she sits down, she starts singing a song to herself,.. for some reason I want to say the 12 Days of Christmas, ... but as she starts getting to the third or fourth verse, her face starts to become strained into a painful over stretched joker smile as her fingers come up to point at her face, and her eyes close, and she's stops singing as it becomes harder to do the more her lips stretch into a smile, and she becomes petrified or frozen in place.

And then more people start to come in, taking their seats, some less panicked than others,.. and I start to recognize some of these people, senators, actors, (I remember seeing Jack Black in there. I can't recall anyone elses faces, but in the dream, I could recognize who these people are).

And one by one, they start taking their seats, and start singing 12 Days of Christmas, and again, by the third or fourth verse, they are frozen in place with the same creepy joker like smile on their faces, with their hands or fingers pointing towards their faces or smiles.

The room is soon filled with people like this,.. 100, 200, the same thing happening.

For some of them, they are still conscious, just frozen in place, unable to move. For others, they are completely gone, unconscious, or dead.

Some of them have gone into this large tank, sitting in 2 or 3 rows of about 10-15 seats. And then a man comes in. (I don't recognize the man, not his face, not as an actor or prominent person of interest). ... and he walks over towards the tank, filling it with water while these frozen people are still inside. The tank doesn't even get up to half way yet ask the man starts to walk away, but the camera cuts back to the tank, focusing on 2 or 3 of the peoples faces (not recognized) as the water starts to fill up past their necks and over the top of their heads.

And that's all I remember of the dream.

The take away I can think of is that this large group of people have been inflicted with a poison or disease that will petrify them anyways. And that the singing of 12 Days of Christmas is either a ritual to try to stop it, or it's a way for them to countdown how long until the effects of the poison/disease take hold, even though it's all relatively within the same timeframe.

The feeling I get from the water tank portion is some of the people might be dead in the group of above 20-30 of them... but just to make sure, while they are frozen in place, they are executed by drowning by the nameless unrecognizable man.

And I will reiterate, the people in this dream are mostly, if not all, people of power or influence, people WE are supposed to know or have seen.

And even though I know it was a dream, I just can't get over the creepy smiles they all are forced to wear as they become frozen in place.

I'd like to clarify, they aren't smiling because they want to. In the movie in this dream, the smiles are being forced because of the poison or disease they all share, like it's their bodies weird reaction, not that it's conscious or controlled.

For some people in the dream, they embrace what's happening, and smile anyways before they become petrified, but for most, they are scared and unwilling, but sing the song anyways.
