In my opinion, though, it falls apart in 4. and 5.
The story's opening scenario was pretty good.
I liked the story.
Good job and stuff.

hey, thanks. the fault lies in the story being based directly on a dream. the only thing i really added to it was the characters.

Yeah, I was going to mention, "but it was based on your dream, so..." in the post you responded to.
But I think that the only "fault" is your own. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be an ass here. It's obvious that you were attempting to make a story out of your dream to "tell" to others. It was an adaptation if you will. You should have shaped it into something more than what it was as a dream.
What you have now is good in my opinion. It's potentially a good little short story that just needs rewritting (if I may be so bold). Definitely rework 4. and 5. Not to mention that there are quite a few ideas laying around in there that are never tapped or used.
Just my opinions and stuff.

no, you're completely right. i can't fault the dream.
i'm glad you took the time to read it and share your thoughts. if i get around to rewriting any of it i'll definitely take what you've said into consideration.
