@DelanoIt's a dream I've been regularly having for about the past 3 or 4 years. It seems real enough to make me wonder if I simply shift into a different universe and am not asleep. Sometimes, I'll "wake up" during it but when I drift back off to "sleep", it continues.
In it I am lost inside a large dreary factory with many floors, windows, occasional offices and areas full of big machines and heavy equipment. There are a scattering of people wandering around with whom I engage in small talk in regard to finding an exit from the building as I go up and down stairways, opening doors which I hope will let me out but only lead to other rooms. During the course of all of this I lose my purse, making me more anxious as I occasionally run into someone I know who disappears when I try to follow them toward what I hope will be a way out. But all doors lead to dead ends or brick walls. On and on I go looking for an escape to the outside, sure I have finally found zn exit only to be thwarted and prevented from escaping the factory - to catch this train that will take me to where I live.
It's fairly obvious what this dream is symbolic of. AI broke it down for me. It's all about my subconscious because when awake my life is fairly uneventful and secure. (But death is always a spectre.)
I haven't had the dream lately because I made some adjustments to what was "magnetizing" my night table...
