Dream draft: Monolithic Building
A huge building with no windows stood right in front of me, and inside of it was something precious to me that I had to get out. It was tall and made of concrete, as if a monolith. Inside of it were a bunch of screens and cables and as soon as I gave my first step, all the screens were suddenly turned on. All the screens had writings on them with welcoming phrases such as “A new face!” or “Welcome to your new home!” and the sorts, except for one screen where its phrases leaned more towards how I should run away while I still can. But I cant run away yet, I had a blank disc with me, and I was supposed to find a computer where I would extract something important and put it on the disc.
I was running out of time as well, since there were some people that were after me and it wont take them long until they find me, so I had to rush to find where this computer was.
As I was exploring the place, more and more screens appeared, apparently they already knew what I was after and so they were giving me directions of where to go, but I didnt follow them, was not sure if they were trying to trick me. There was still that one screen warning me about the place and that I should escape.
Later on, some screens were announcing that more people arrived, and I knew that they were the same people trying to get me. Apparently they knew the building well, since they were able to control the building, closing and opening doors, shifting walls, etc, and i wouldnt be surprised me if they knew my exact location and they were controlling the building in order to lure me to them. And thats when I stopped finding the room by my own and followed the screen’s instructions.
The instructions were easy, if it said “over here”, then I would go to the hallway next to the screen, and so on. After some moment of following the instructions, a bunch of people appeared behind me chasing me. I knew some people were after me, but didnt knew there were that many. I had to do something quick if I wanted to escape from them, so I entered to the room closest to me and closed the door.
I could hear them smashing door, in an attempt to unlock the door. There was a huge screen in this room, it covered an entire wall unlike the other screens that were around 20 inches, the big screen said that theyll eventually be able to open the door and get to me, and pretty much my only option was to transfer my mind to the computer with the helmet located in the middle of the room.
Now it seems like they have found a way to open the door for sure, and the big screen made sure that I was aware of that by writing it with huge letters. Right afterwards it was telling me that if I dont hurry up, then I might not have enough time to transfer my mind, and it kept reminding me how that was my only option if I wanted to live. To make matters worse it started a count down from 30, at this point it felt as if the screen is trying to make me focus only on the screen and nothing else. When the countdown has reached 5 I have finally decided to put on the helmet, and just as the transfer process started, a small screen located right in front of me had these words written on it: dont do it.
