The Parent Games

Like the rest of my dreams lately, this one will be spotty. I remember thinking during this dream that this has to be a dream because stuff like this doesn't happen to me. Jimmy and I were pushing our son in a buggy and came into an area full of ninjas and such, and had to say a password or fight them or something to get through. I think once we got through, there was a small shop like you would see in a tourist town that sells souveneirs. All three of us were seperated from each other and taken to different places. I remember a man leading me down a boarding terminal, or whatever those little mobile hallways they have at airports are, towards a plane. I passed several teenagers, and I remember one guy with long wavy brown hair telling me "don't get on the plane". I guess I didn't listen because the weirdness continued. I remember yelling and shouting at everyone, demanding to know where my baby was, but no one would give me an answer. I saw Jimmy one more time, and that was when we were riding in a shuttle type vehicle. I asked him what was going on and where our son was, but he either didn't know or couldn't say. Just before we had to get off, he told me in a low quiet voice, as if trying not to be heard, that this was something all parents had to go through and we would be out of here soon enough if we passed all the trials. I remember being taken to a tiny enclosed space with another girl where there was a wooden bench and an unusual sticker on the floor with a combination of letters written on it. I don't remember exactly what the girl said, but it was something along the lines of 'look for hints'. I took the sticker as a hint and tried to quickly copy the letters to my hand, but I was sweating so the marker didn't work, even after I tried to dry my hand, so I wrote it on my jeans instead. I came around from behind the wall to find a hockey field and people playing. I think I was supposed to play for one of my tasks, but I don't recall doing so before waking up.
