The setting of my dream was an unknown place to me. It occurred during the late afternoon and into the night. There was a lot of land and swampy area. The people I was with at first was my one good friend Jim at school (UCSC), and another guy I don't know quite as well. Towards the end there ended up being more unfamiliar people around. The dream wasn't really unpleasant, just upsetting at one certain point.
The one good friend and the other guy were lost, wandering around in some unknown place. I happened to be guiding the way, but it started to get dark and everyone was a little nervous. Eventually we found some muddy cliff to climb, and on the other side there seemed to be a small town. We ended up meeting three strangers and staying with them at their house.
