Screaming or howling

I apologize. This one actually happened a few days ago. I remembered it clearly when I woke up, told my friends about it, and then forgot about it until just now. <PERSON> from my dream journal on my computer. Date unknown There is a lot before now, but I cannot remember it. Now: I am driving on the highway. Speeding. Taking care of two little children, about 8-10 years old. They are clinging to the top of the SUV (Do not ask me why). Somebody is shooting missiles or something at us. It is like a stupid action movie. I open the sunroof and scream for the kids to get in. One of them does. I ask where the other is. "Oh, he fell off about an hour ago." I freak out and stop the car. I get out and the boy is clinging to the side of the SUV, naked, freezing, and crying. I pull him off and look for a towel. We are on a bridge. I probably forgot to mention that. There is an oil pipe perpendicular to the bridge, and a dangerous looking access stairway on it. The boy scurries down and I chase after him. As I get lower and lower down the stairway, the steps get more and more narrow and I wonder how we have not fallen off. When I reach the bottom, It is a mix between a Spanish mesa village and something out of Killzone 2 (Minus the gas mask space Nazis). I start chasing the kid around. At some point during this ordeal, the kid suddenly is no longer 8-10, but now 5-6, and the environment brightens and changes until it is more like a regular mall. I run into a bookstore, constantly screaming the kid's name. I run past <PERSON> and some guy she is with (probably her boyfriend, but for some reason it is not <PERSON>). I wonder about this for a split second, then continue looking for the kid. I never find him. After that point, it is all fragments. Little flashes of thoughts, or tiny observations of the layout of the mall, etc. Last I remember is standing in the middle of a parking lot outside, very depressed, not being able to find the kid.
