Left myself a note on the computer so I wouldn't forget about it...and then let the note get buried behind Chrome until a few minutes ago.
In the dream, I was in some utopian city...it was a nice mix of metropolitan and suburban, vertically stacked layers of city upon city, buildings all lined with yellow siding, and literally every business in the area I was in (and perhaps the whole city) was owned by Apple ( o_O?? )...anyway, I was trying to hide from the police due to the fact that I wasn't willing to submit to having every facet of my life controlled by the city's rulers. This led me to trying to hide in the less-developed underside of the city, where I eventually found a scout for the city's underworld residents, people who chose to live free in squalor rather than being slaves to paradise.
He offered to lead me back to their city below the city, but as we went along, he got a radio message warning that the city's defenses would soon be making their scheduled sweeps...the "defenses" basically being huge sections of the lower areas lined with gamma-ray beam emitters. Being caught in those areas when the emitters were active was instant death, and, naturally, we had to get through one of those areas.
Near the end, we had to climb up a level using some rusted, spring-mounted pull-bars; pulling down on one and then jumping up basically gave you a boost up through a broken section of the floor of the next level. As I went to go through, however, the pull-bar broke off the wall.
Thankfully I woke up before I landed...falling onto concrete probably would have hurt, and I didn't want to get zapped by a death trap! Still...that was weird.
