Wow first distinct rememberable dream in a while.. It felt like a dream I’ve had before, though maybe with some new details. of course I’ve already forgotten some parts but here are some key part;

A group of kids (me being one of the kids) are trapped in this weird place. Like it’s like a factory, or a mall (railings and double levels), it’s very modern and metal, but no windows to the outside, it feels like we’re very deep in it, like it’s a dungeon catacomb of modern factorial metal that just goes on forever, and the only way to get from one floor to another is through an elevator zip tunnel thing.

Each level is almost always empty save for a few human-like androids that run their own village-like shops in the malls, and feels somewhat ordinary, but each level as they try to ascend out through the elevator, each level this air of crazy or “something’s not right” keeps getting stronger. Like there’s an all-powerful AI or force or something that’s controlling the factory, trying to keep us kids from leaving. It does not want us to leave even if it means at the cost of our sanity/lives.

Part of the way up we pick up another kid (a girl/woman? it wasn’t very clear for age tbh in the dream) from a level that’s particularly full of android-people, though outside of the higher numbers it didn’t seem that strange or sinister.

At one point nearer the end of the dream, a voice (like basic mall lady announcer voice) says that the elevator will be blasted with a controlled electric shock (the panic from the group seemed to imply it was not one that someone could just shrug off if we allowed ourselves to get shock), and the elevator starts collapsing/crushing itself, from the lower levels upwards to us. We all run into our own mechas (yeah idk where the mechas came from looking back at the dream, it almost made it seem like they had always been in this elevator despite the fact I doubt they were capable of being piloted into the floors/levels outside the elevator) using the mechs as a way to flee up the elevator faster, and protect us from the electric shock/wave that was going to come. Unfortunately for the girl/woman we picked up the way up this adventure her mech despite it’s auto-movements, could not escape as the elevator trapped it and started to crush it with the rest of the elevator’s lower levels. The girl/woman wasn’t in the mech but she was the only one now exposed in the elevator.

From there the dream cuts off so we don’t know if she got picked up by the other kids/mechas or if she tried to flee from the falling elevator or if she ends up getting crush, but the dream pans to a memory of the girl/woman which we the other kids/children don’t see  (basically it was like a scenic flashback thing);

BTW WARNING FROM HERE THE DREAM GETS A BIT DARKER AND WE SEE WHAT’S BEHIND THAT “these floors are a lil crazy” FEELING WE GOT BEFORE. PSYCHOLOGICAL AND GOREYISH

The girl/woman was the only human on that level which we had originally found her, and she had been there for some time. In her first time on that level, the androids were in a insanity-induced frenzy; in a riotful mass they were running through this level going crazy as only a tiny tiny few (one may have been the “Village Floor Leader”) were trying to calm the masses. Some were just in a panic while others were in murderous run. The girl in this flashback gets buried/overwhelmed by the waves of frenzied androids, getting hurt herself and being utterly scarred mentally and physically from this entire wild spectacle. The androids despite being androids with metal interiors, could feel pain and bleed red blood, some of the ones going mad were screaming how much in pain they were as they bled as they thrashed and crashed into other androids and the girl.

I don’t think the girl wanted to be trapped down there, nor did she want to have that as her last of her memories as the elevator was collapsing up.
