Symbolic crime-action assault or something like that

By Firstchild, dreamt on April Something, 2002

On a sunny day, one of my classmates (a blonde girl, to be exact) and I are sent to the "local" (local where we are in the dream) atomic reactor by our physics professor, with the task of shutting it down. We get "tourist pass" badges and go inside.
Inside we visit the control room which looks like three joint circles, two separate control units on either side, with the entrance being in the middle circle, along with spiral stairs leading up to something I don't remember. The classmate shuts off the unit on the right, while I play with the controls on the left, adjusting everything I find, just for fun. When we finish, I notice a countdown appearing on a small console placed on one of the compartments of the central area, counting down from 20. I advise the classmate that we should be leaving.
We make haste but the guards outside the control room don't really notice if we were doing anything.

We enter a sort of a large mall, on the 5th floor (don't ask how I remember that). We seem to have come from an outside terrace. It has to be said that the mall is as filthy as big. It's more like a large labirynth.
Many people are walking by, and there are some dining tables from which other classmates wave to us. We wave back and climb up a ladder, which goes up a few feet. Then a rather large dog, who has been following us, jumps on my back, and telepathically tells me that he will stay with us and be our friend. I telepathically answer "Okay" to him.
After a few turns we reach another ladder that takes us down to the previous level (note that there were no sidewalls, you could easily see the structure of what is going where, it's just interesting to place ladders and small platforms around in a mall). We meet our physics professor who congratulates us on our good work. He is in front of something like five or six red TV sets put in two columns. They also look filthy and old. It seems that the whole place we live in the dream is full of filth and is not quite good.
Then, the TV's turn on, where we see that thanks to the classmate and I, the reactor has exploded, killing many scientists. The explosion is shown from many angles, and the deaths of the people are shown in close-up and in slow motion, many times. I feel awful about it. (This really is stupid because you cannot blow up an atomic reactor by shutting down the reactor. Since most of today's atomic reactors use water both to generate and to moderate the particles used, so if the reactor becomes overheated, the water melts and the reactor simply stops.)
Then the TV shows some static until two men in black leather clothes and sunglasses are seen in a studio. One of them is just sitting there, looking really "cool", the other is talking. He says that they will now be in control, now that the atomic reactor has blown up.
The physics teacher turns to me and says: "This was an experiment and I have not been proven wrong. This is what would happen in a situation like this." - Click. I wake up.
