I don't get a lot of dreams, at least not ones that feel real and spiritual. It was dark and I knew that I was standing in line to be interviewed along with other Christians. At that moment, in my mind I said Jesus and instantly a warm light shined on me from above and I was taken up. I can feel the warmth, and I can feel being pulled up, all I saw was white light everywhere. I saw the outline of Jesus's robe for a few seconds and then I went back down. This time I was there but more like in spirit because no one noticed me. It was a big open room. Everything seemed grey. I saw one family sitting by a corner and another family being interviewed. They were sitting on something that seemed like a cement sofa. It felt like a concentration camp. I noticed that each person had a rat right next to them. They were all dressed similarly and they all seemed cold with coats on. I wanted to leave and go back to Jesus. This time I was looking for a way out of the building. I wanted to go to where there was light like a window. I found myself gliding to a room that seemed to be for medical examinations. There was a man there. He seemed to be European. He looked at me but I went through the wall, or window so quickly that he didn't get to say anything. Outside, I noticed that the building was red brick. I could see green trees (not sure why people were cold if I saw green outside). I was going outside so that I could go back to Jesus but then I woke up.

Possibly your time with Jesus was symbolic of a good spiritual life, that is later tested by realities of the world.
Not to say the camp was symbolic. But it is similar to how new believers feel ecstatic about their faith, then later discouraged. Physically not staying "up" forever. God strengthens and protects us, shows us His heart for us... then sets us down in tougher situations to live it out.
I do think this situation is playing out currently in various parts of the world, so I'm not trying to undermine your warning dream. I'm just seeing a few intangible concepts in it.
Rats beside.. lol made me think of pet-owners who defend, "rats are smart!"
As though we are each given a provoking challenger that makes life uncomfortable. Not just a stumbling block, but persistent (like the squirrels that just chewed through my birdseed container IRL).
You were floating -- able to rise above the earthly troubles. His temple is within us. 1 Corinthians 3:16
The people were deprived of seeing the green trees. Confined indoors, they went through scrutiny and limitation, lack of provision. Trees are strong, protective, shade from hot sun, provide fruit and nuts. (Like generous wise people.) The institution kept you from fresh air and provision.
I was given an insight this morning that might have nothing to do with this, but bear with me:
I've always wondered how a cult can seem half-okay when you're in the middle of it, and it's hard to pin down who was causing it to go off course.
Trouble comes from people not serving God in private, but flaunting their works before men. That drives them to compete, build up more rules to toughen the competition.
Then the focus is not living for God, but showing others how much they are living for God. Eventually they lose sight of Him, working with the shell of a religious structure they knew to work before.
And then when serious offenses arise, people want to protect their piety and the structure, instead of the victim.
Jesus taught us ways to avoid it -- pray and fast in secret Mtt 6, hidden under tree, give in secret, temple is within 1Cor3, Go outward with good news to other towns... but ppl preferred to cluster.
Your dream shows a cloistering. People's autonomy suffocated and stifled indoors, when outdoors it is bright and green. Dressed similarly, going along with expectations of others. Subjecting themselves to intrusive examination.
Many religious institutions become confining in this way. While I think a literal interp is valid, there are other trails of thought that might fit a different situation.
You know how great it is to be with God. But most of us deal with less-than-ideal spiritual life when we get stuck too tightly in groups, indoors. Jesus taught us to get out there and take risks in non-religious settings.
