dream last night

Normally my dreams are cool, and I write them down. They involve things like flying and magic and vampires and childhood places and sometimes even take place in historical times. Last night's dream was nothing like those. In fact, this one was a bit creepy, which is odd as I haven't had nightmares since I was a kid.

In my dream last night, I was in my chilhood hometown playing on the road near my old house. Normally it's sides go down into something like a marsh, but this time the bottoms were full of water, enough to swim in. I was swimming on one side with some little girl when we came across a type of shrine. There were sseverral dozen little figures, maybe real maybe not that were only a few inches high and almost looked mummified but a bit evil. There was also a full-sized mummy of a man sitting down. Beads were around his neck to his waist and there was money scattered around him (bills mostly). Also near the bottom of this shrine were hundreds of what looked like black dull rocks that were flat and thin. The little girl and I took some out and made a game of trying to break them in half.
Suddenly the ground began to shake. The sky started to get dark, and everyone began running for shelter. I got seperated from my family and the little girl and ended up in someone's house with 8 strangers. We were sitting at a table and there was a cross on the wall behing me. Someone started passing out small glasses with random colored drinks in them. Small bottles indicated some of the flavors: strawberry, lemon, peach. The drinks were lit on fire and when the fire went out, each of us drank our glass. Then as a group we all began to sing "The Lord's Prayer." Our voices blended pretty well and it sounded really nice. But we were all sad and happy at the same time as the world was ending.
