Strange and disturbing

I’m in the mall i go to sometimes in dreams. Me, Sharon and ?Shari? I think we were in a car before we came here but i’m not sure. We must be because i can see the mall from the outside. Sharon is looking for something and i suggest ?? Department Store. Okay. Now we’re in the mall walking through the store. Sharon is looking for white gloves and i suggest ?? which is another department store on the other end of the mall. As i’m telling her that she can get short OR long white gloves there she and Shari walk ahead of me. They’re several feet in front of me and i want to catch up to them. I step over a rope barrier to cut through the food court. As i step over (it’s a little bit high) a man is there and takes my hand to steady me. I thank him and hurry ahead to catch up with my friends. The man is back at my shoulder again and making small talk. He seems nice and i tell him i’m trying to catch up to my friends but he steers me over to an elevator. I begin to feel nervous and i’m trying to figure out how to catch up with Sharon and Shari. I figure the elevator won’t put me too much off their path and play along. When we get off the elevator we’re on a ?dock. Now i’m feeling afraid. He’s walking me to the boathouse at the end of the dock. I’m trying to think how i can get away but i feel helpless. He’s still being very nice and not in any way threatening but still i’m really scared. We enter the boathouse. It’s mostly empty. There’re a few things hanging on the wall. A life vest. A long aluminum pole with a net on the end. Still being completely pleasant, this man indicates he’s a serial killer and is now going to kill me and i wake up.

Ugh. That was a very unpleasant dream. It was so unpleasant that while i was dreaming the next dream (which i can’t remember now but it’s right on the edge of my memory so maybe it’ll come back later) i reminded myself within that dream to remember the serial killer dream. I don’t know what the white gloves represent. The man was some guy who used to work on my team. He was always very pleasant on the surface but i could tell he was extremely angry just below the surface. I can’t remember his name but i can remember his smile and his crooked teeth and the sensation of his rage quivering just under the surface. My whole team was happy when he got fired. I felt sort of bad for him though because his wife had just gotten pregnant again and they had a couple of kids. Ick. I feel tainted from the dream and from remembering that guy.
