The one with covert team building

I dreamed that I was part of a covert operation in Germany during WWII. We were supposed to go around Germany and kill high ranking Nazis and other high-value targets.

Because of the secret nature of our missions we mostly worked alone. But we had one middle-manager who decided that we did not have much agency unity. He proposed that we have team-building activities to build more unity.

I tried to argue with him that having all of our secret, under-cover operatives meet together was a really bad idea and had a high probability of blowing our covers and getting us all killed, but the manager ignored me and planned an agency movie night.

When I arrived at the movie night, my brother Sam was there. I guess he was also an operative in the agency. Sam insisted on sitting in the front row of the theater. I told him that it was terrible watching a movie from the front row but he ignored me. When we got up to the front row we found out that the front row of seats was installed backwards, facing the back of the theater. Sam still insisted on sitting in those seats.

We tried to watch the movie by craning our necks around backwards. It was really difficult to follow what was going on on-screen. After a few minutes, Sam got up and started complaining loudly that he couldn't see what was going on. In a whispered voice I tried to convince him to sit down, warning that he shouldn't draw attention to us because it could get us all killed. He ignored my pleadings.

The other people in the theater started yelling at him to sit down because he was blocking their view. In return, he started dancing around and complaining even more loudly. I pointed out to him that the theater still had many empty seats that were facing forward and suggested that we move to any of those seats. He refused and then started yelling at the theater employees that "worst of all, you didn't even start the movie with a PRAYER!"

At this point my brain was so exhausted with the stupidity of the dream that it pulled the ejection handle and woke me up.
