Apocalyptic Dragon Dream!

I'm with a group of people fleeing for our lives through what looks like a dark New England college campus. Looking up at the night sky, we see impossibly gigantic dragons entering the atmosphere like meteors, spreading their wings, and breathing fire over the surroundings. Luckily, they have not spotted us and are focused on destroying adjacent parts of the campus.

We enter an alley and see what appear to be some fellow survivors. But in the flickering streetlight, the people briefly appear to become shadowy dragon figures. At that point we realize that the dragons are taking human form and that we're not safe there.

We quietly back away from the dragon people and run until we reach a courtyard. Behaving like we're in some sort of video game, I realize that we have to solve some kind of puzzle in this area before we can proceed. The first step is to crawl underneath a wide concrete bench (open on two ends, forming a cramped tunnel), where we will be invisible to the dragons. Once underneath the bench, I see that the far end is blocked by some sort of laser force field. The point of the puzzle is that a second group of people has to go to the opposite side of the courtyard and shut the force field off. Unfortunately, we are unable to figure out the puzzle before the dragons catch us.

I'm hazy about the next part, but it turned out that there was a hot tub in the center of the courtyard and the dragon people were lounging in it while we were held nearby. I remember trying to make a run for it, but I was caught by one of the dragon people who made a display of the large set of teeth within his otherwise human face.

Later we were all being held in some sort of student lounge. There were probably twenty of us, including Amy and myself. Food was provided for us, and they allowed us to keep our phones and iPods, but we didn't have our chargers so we only had what battery life was left in them. Amy wanted to hold out for non-dairy food, but I told her that she would probably have to give up veganism now that we were prisoners.
