Friends, Ruins, and a Dangerous Boss Battle

Visiting friends from back east for someone’s bday. Not sure who but a lot of guys were there. Saw John, Mike Healy, Phil, Ian initially and we were all playing in some like deserted Aztec temple ruins on the inside which was just like a dirt floor with big columns and large cement blocks everywhere. We had a soccer ball and were playing keep it up. I remember feeling excited to see and play with them but also sad and a little left out from their inside jokes and things, which is a lot of how I feel in real life (due to not seeing them often while many of them live close to each other in real life). Even Eric Mullins showed up at one point and I was super excited to see him since it’s been easily over 10 years but still shared a similar sad nostalgia that this part of my life with these friends is more or less gone now. We then apparently decided to do this “interactive world of Warcraft experience” which was like a guided tour through an old boss dungeon or raid so you can relive the game but in real life? So anyways I’m with Ian and Healy I remember specifically and then a group of strangers (adults and some kids but no one under like 10) and I have Eve with me. We’re being shepherded through what seems like an old western town movie set with rickety makeshift plywood houses/shops around us and then the road narrows into these underground Mayan/aztec tunnels when everyone starts getting excited (since they apparently recognize this as the start of a boss battle from their youth playing WOW) and they start hooting and hollering “Roooppz” which apparently was the boss we were about to fight (which was named Roop Hintz and was the small dog from nightmare before Christmas. Never even saw the dog, I just knew that was him). So we’re again shepherded by the staff (bored teenagers and 20 year olds on summer break or something) into this larger room where a bunch of thing start moving (indicating the boss stuff is going to start). I’m apprehensive to take Eve in as I think she’d be too scared and I didn’t remember this boss and don’t know how scary it would be. So I end up not going in before the doors close with everyone inside. It then gets even more scary outside the room because real stuff is happening in the room. I’m back in the western set when the wind picks up dramatically (I somehow knew Roop Hintz was the wind boss and ultimately it would subside once the group beat him but I don’t know how long that would take) and I’m walking/running back holding Eve and covering her ears while saying “it’s ok hunny”. The wind then gets so strong that I can progress back anymore and the rickety buildings start coming down and I’m protecting Eve from flying plywood and now quite scared myself. No more staff around, no more people, and I fear I’ve found me and Eve in a dangerous situation. Dream ends.
