It's been a while since I've remembered a Lock dream. Most of the dream segments surrounding it were inconsequential and mundane, so I'll just include the relevant bit here.
This lock was in bipedal form, not sure if it was female or male, leaning female due to the following segment, only that it had an unusual, geometric coloration in "V", "Y", and diamond markings over its body (which was still mostly black), with the lines in a dull metallic gold and the diamonds in a sort of red-dirt orange, all of which were heavily implied to be painted on. Yahndrall's name was brought up in discussion but I don't remember its context.
I had tried to go to bed, and it tried to wedge itself into the bed next to me and basically hug me very close... it wasn't quite snuggling though it could have been misconstrued as it, but there was nothing 'cute' or endearing about it, it was very possessive and uncomfortable and strange feeling.
That segment had the strangest transition that I could remember the least of all this dream's transitions, but from there I was forced to tag along with a lady (which might've been the lock, or at least had some strong connection to them, though it's possible that the bit with the lock and the following bit were completely unrelated and I only associate them because of the tar and continuing to have the feeling that I tend to get from lock presence in dreams) as she went to some kind of cooking class being led by some chefs who were also trying to participate in a contest (??), though they messed up their entry something awful along the way. I tried to help clean up, at which point the instructors got really mad at me because I wasn't supposed to be there and ordered my removal by security (in spite of the lady VERY strongly telling them that I was, by no means, to leave her custody). As I was pulled further from the lady I was with, my heart started to rush faster and faster and it slowly began to dawn on me that something horrible was going to happen.
I don't remember if that horrible thing actually happened and then rewound, or if I just had a flash-forward vision to what WOULD happen, but once at a certain distance away from the lady I was with, my chest suddenly exploded into black tar with toothlike, shattered bone, and my flesh melted off as something simultaneously dissolved and crushed me and I collapsed, horrified, into roiling black goop and broken bone. Except at the same time I didn't because the lady came back to reassuringly take me back into her custody (while giving DEATHGLARES to everyone else who didn't want me there), which in a way wasn't really that reassuring at all.
