Dream About Apocalyptic Scenario Escaping Captivity And Finding A New City

Apocalyptic scenario. I was trying to find my way when a group pulled up. I put my hands up and said "you can do anything to me, just don't hurt me". They ended up putting me in the back of their pick up tied up. I got put into their camp but I realized this area wasn't far from my mom's place. I asked if I can go, but they said "as long as one of us comes with so we know you won't betray us". So me, a mid-twenties boy, an older man, and a woman go towards where I think my mom's house would be, by foot. They have weapons, such as butcher knives and crow bars, but I do not. I was told to stay in the middle until we got through the main part of the city. There were scrap weapons along the sides of the path, and I was looking at them. Of course the people made sure I wasn't in reach of grabbing any, though I really wanted to, but knew I was outnumbered. Finally getting to the center of the city, which is indoors, they let me lead them. I was walking a steady pace, following the path I think lead to my mom's house. Eventually we were outside again, and I saw that everything has changed. There were mutant animals, such as bloated cows, dogs, and pigs. People were riding horses everywhere and carrying shotguns, though I am allergic, I had to keepy cool. They let me play with what I thought was a puppy, but I was unsure due to the modifications that was done to the poor thing. Also there were extremely pretty abandoned mansions, that didn't seem abandoned. One had a very clean wrap around porch with a range of colorful flowers and vines, and a little creek running along side of one of the porch sides. A few others were a long there, but that one definitely caught my eye. Eventually we reached what looked to be an actual city, with tall glass window buildings and roads and sidewalks, as what was before was just dirt paths and abandoned buildings. I didn't know the way from here so I just used GPS. We were joking about how the wifi is slow on this side of town, even though I know they were trying to be serious about the ordeal in total. Eventually I lead them west then north. This lead us into a hallway with velvet carpet, fancy bathrooms, and such. I excused myself to the bathroom, and conveniently found a machete and a hunting knife in my stall, which I took. I tried to hide them at first but then realized it wasn't needed. They were wary of it, but didn't seem hostile of that fact. I made sure that they didn't jump me from behind, as they were still following me. We passed what looked to be a classroom on the left side of the hallway as we turned north. I knew in my mind that if I did not keep my focus, that the classroom would suck you in. At this point, the woman was in front of me and the two men were behind me. She passed the classroom without breaking concentration but the two men were sucked in, like they saw something they really wanted, or were under mind control. As soon as I passed the classroom, there was a loud boom, and the classroom exploded and disappeared out of reality. The woman asked if that was normal and I said "yes" and smiled. It wasn't apart of my plan but it definitely was good for my situation. She sighed and kept walking. We eventually got outside again to a fenced off area, which on the other side was a few hundred shipping containers and dirt hills, with what I thought was abandoned construction vehicles, until they started moving. She was in front of me, seemingly knowing where my mom's house was, even though I never told her. But as I was following her, she had the same determined stride, but she turned into one of my friends from school irl. I mean, they weren't really a friend, but they came to visit often when they needed somewhere to stay for a bit. Anyway, once we got to where my mom's house would be, there was instead a very long mass of flesh, that stood extremely tall. The woman god swallowed up immediately, but I stabbed it in rage. It opened up into a maw, or I guess a tunnel, where I had to fight 3 flesh 'bosses', in order to get more inside of it. I was filled with rage, and even if they were hard to beat, I was determined. Then, the whole back part of which I thought was already the back part opened up, it revealed a very clean office area. This had very confusing clues and puzzles to solve. There were dolls hanging from ropes and windows and math flash cards that were out of order. I was about to give up and start crying when a man's voice came on from somewhere, I guessed the old static TV. He said that I was obviously brave, strong, and determined, and he was bored of running the city like this, so he's handing the 'key' over to me. I was surprised, and didn't know what to do with this information exactly. But eventually there was a time cut in the dream and I was back with my boyfriend, and the world seemed greener. We were trying to figure out which mansion we wanted to set up shop in to be the mayor of the city. I really wanted the white terraced house, but he wanted the house that previously stood where the gaping flesh maw was, which turned into a modern skyscraper. I told him that was too much space but he kept insisting. We toured the other mansions and found that two over from the one I wanted, there was a brick house that was on a river that overviewed ValleyFair, which I used to live near. He said that it'll work since it's the middle ground. We went swimming in a pool but there were flesh eating fish in there. I almost drowned but thankfully I made it to the stairs and got them off of me. I forgot about the mutant animals that roamed around, and guessing that the fish were apart of that too. And then I woke up.
