Who are these people?!

Well, I know what part of this dream was about...

I dreamt I was with my friend B (who hired me on at the first company in my current career path six years ago in June) in some random building. We were in the ladies room, I was in one stall, she was in the other, telling me about this company who she used to work for who was hiring. I was thinking about how my company hadn't been winning any work lately and I might not have another project to go to after this one ends, so I was interested in what she was saying. B told me she would put me in touch with a lady.

The dream flashed to B and I in some dingy, barely lit room. I'm on the phone with the lady who was going to be my new boss, if the company I currently work for was unable to keep me. As the lady on the other line was describing things to me, I thought I heard something outside. Not really listening to the lady, I carefully try to figure out what it was I heard. I have to ask the lady on the phone to repeat herself. She does, but at this point, I see flashing lights on the back side of the wall, reflected through the only window in the dim room. I realize it would be unprofessional to ask my potential future boss to repeat herself a third time, so I politely tell her something is wrong and that I have to go.

At this point, B is gone. I run out into the hallway and instantly suspect a fire, though there were no alarms going off. People were mulling around, talking about needing to get out of the building, but no one seemed to be motivated to really do so. I'm kind of freaking out, as I dash outside. I see a fire truck parked near the front of the building and I walk up to some lady whom I don't recognize, though in the dream she is my mother. I ask what is going on. She tells me my grandmother was in her room, when she saw an old man standing outside her window with his pants down. Alarmed, my "grandmother" (who, by the way, is not my grandmother in real life... it's like my dream made up a family for me out of complete strangers) called the cops.

My "mother" and I head over to where my "grandmother" is, and the half naked man is there. I look at both my grandmother and my mother with my eyes narrowed, informing them the creepy old guy who was ogling grandma is my "grandfather". They agree and I think how odd it is that these people are supposed to be my family and I recognize this as such in the dream, but I don't know any of them and my pseudo mother and grandmother don't know my supposed grandfather, who has apparently kept the romance alive in his old age by playing peeping tom with my "grandmother" as she sleeps.

Yeah, basically, at that point I woke up. Still don't know why the fire truck would be there if the cops were called, or who these people who were supposed to be my family really are. They all had faces, but as far as I know, I have never seen them before in real life. I also just can't get over how dark the dream was. Not a single point of the dream had full illumination, it was all this hazy, yellowish dimness. Strange.
