To really explain this dream I need to explain who a few people are.

Myra: My grandmother, now deceased. She was never nice to me. Verbally abusive.
Jackie, my best friend's mom: Like a 2nd mother to me. She invited me to live in her home because of my current life situation and then abruptly decided that she couldn't handle mental issues and sent me on a greyhound back to my parents.
My mother: Disabled. Addicted to strong drugs for her pain. Hears things. Very angry person.

Anyway, it started with me inside Myra's house, which happened to be a huge, decrepit mansion with many rooms. I was there with my best friend Laura for a reason I can't describe, and we were exploring. A woman that shifted between my moher, Jackie and Myra was the only other person we lived with.

We discovered a room filled with books on topics that we really enjoy and started to go through them, when Myra/Jackie/Mom came in and yelled at us to not touch anything.

Saddened by this, we kept exploring. We tried hard to find those interesting books again but we found nothing...only a hidden door that led into a strange chamber. In the center was some sort of device. I pressed the switch and the ground opened up, a pedastal rising with great white light surrounding it. The light was so attractive as to want me to reach out and touch it, but I didn't.

As I pressed the switch again to close the device, the light faded. A household pet jumped down into it as it closed, and before we could rescue it it was too late. The lid had shut and somehow we knew that the animal died a peaceful, painless death.

To inspect the situation, I pressed the switch again and opened up the marvelous glowing cavern, the pedastal rising as if it wanted me to climb aboard.

Thats when I woke up.
