Strange dream

I was at a party in an old house. I was told the host of the party, who I had not seen yet, was betting that no one could get into the center of the city and back to the party before the party ended.
I decided to take the bet and headed out.
I didn’t have any trouble getting to the center of the city.
(Which city wasn’t clear in the dream. It was an old city. It had subways, trains, and lots of waterways. It is a city I’ve been to in other dreams.)
As I headed back out to the party, I became aware that the police were looking for a man of my description. There were announcement s on the trains and extra police in the stations.
I decided to get off and walk along the river.
I found I had two abilities that helped me get back to the party. The first was a limited invisibility. As long as the person didn’t get to be within a couple of feet of me, they couldn’t see me.
Second, I could sprint very fast for short bursts. If I ran into someone while sprinting, it stunned them for a short time.
(WOW players will recognize these as rouge’s stealth and warrior’s charge abilities.)
As I walked along the waterways I saw that the water was very grey and nothing lived along the banks of the rivers. There wasn’t even any soil along the banks, just black rock.
I came to a big yellow brick building along the side of the waterways where lots of the grey water was pouring out into the river.
I snuck in and found it was a plant making “solid water”. A tour was just starting for a bunch of VIP’s, so I snuck along with them.
This plant was processing the water in such a way that it had a consistency of jello, and could be stacked and shipped in normal trucks instead of tank trucks.
The “solid water” was a bright aqua blue color and rolled out of the processing plant like slabs of steel. The grey water was what was left over after the process and was flushed out into the river.
I tried to sneak up to one of the blocks of “solid water” to grab some, but even stealthed, I set off the alarms.
Where there had been a police bulletin to look for me before, now it was a full police emergency to find me. They were announcing that I was a terrorist loose in the city and giving rewards for anyone who found me.
People took to the streets searching for me to get the reward. Even with the stealth it was very hard to avoid them all.
I knew I had to get back to the party, and I couldn’t take any of the roads or trains.
I went back to walking along the river, but saw they expected that and had set up ways to stop me.
The first way was they were spraying the grey water into the air along the sides of the river. I knew that if I got soaked with that, then I’d never make it back to the party.
Second, which seemed very strange to me at the time, they stationed rabbi and orthodox priests along the bank of the river in places where the water didn’t reach.
I didn’t want to “charge” into the clergy, so I used it to dash past them, but very close. As I spend by one rabbi, his bead and coat fluttered due to the breeze and he had to hold his hat down.
Although I got past him, I was no longer hidden. The police spotted me and whole troops of them started coming at me.
I charged towards the house, and stunned the people in the middle of the road there, and got past them.
I ran into the old house where the party was as the police came running up the road after me.
“I’m back!” I shouted. “I made it!”
The host of the party came out to great me. It was Robin Williams.
“I knew you could do it!” he said, shaking my hand. “Well done, well done.”
“Every police officer in the city is about to charge in here,” I told him. “And, I don’t even know why they’re after me.”
“If that many guests are coming, we’ll need more beer,” he said. “Run out back and get it. It’s in the shed behind the house.”
I was a bit confused by that, but did what he said. As I was in the shed behind the house, I saw a bus pull up between the shed and the house.
It was full of police in dark blue riot gear. One of them was looking out his window straight at me. I could see myself, holding a case of beer, in the reflection of his face guard.
But, he marched off the bus with all of the others and went into the house.
I stood there for a couple of minutes wondering what to do.
The riot police came back out and got onto their bus. They proceeded to take off all of their riot gear and then head back into the party. The bus pulled away without them.
As the bus pulled away, I noticed a glowing circle next to the house. It was clearly a “magic” circle of some sort and was glowing a light blue.
As I watched a bright red “devil” figure appeared in it along with a bright green “nature spirit”. The two started dancing with each other.
