Dream Synopsis

I was very poor, in some place where everyone wore scraps of clothing and no shoes. I was sneaking around and making my way down this large tunnel (hundreds of feet across) that was being excavated. I’m not sure what it was for, maybe a large transportation project or some kind of underground city. Police were looking for and beating anyone not working. Many areas were very dark and had strange monsters wandering around (that I never saw). It was known that you should not traverse unlit portions or you might run into one of these creatures. There were nice weird little restaurants and bars built from wooden platforms that were the source of most of the light. I was with some others but I had lost them and was attempting to sneak around and find a way out without being seen.
