Publican User ID: 68536736 United States 04/03/2016 11:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Along with mallword and bathroom world there is an industrial subterranean world that has a lot of control panels and men working there that you have to avoid to explore more areas. A part of this place ipens to a huge cavernous railway that has a switchyard. I get the feeling that this industrial underground world is also a control center of the surface world. It is kind of scary but amazing and I always want to get back there. I have visited this place many times that I can remember, so I have probably been there much more than I can recall. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1570143 YES! There are always people you need to 'avoid' somehow. I wonder why we need to avoid them. It's almost like this feeling of being chased or hunted down. If they catch you, you wake up. |

They are trying to keep the place a secret I think. One time I acted like I was supposed to be there and got past some of them. |

Quoting: McNulty YES!! I don't know if it's near the woods or not, but - One of the places I get cigarettes is "on the edge of town... a lone filling station or convenience store".

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70605568 United States 04/03/2016 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The mall I go to is HUGE. There is a lot of speciality shops. Theres a buncha candy stores. The cd/record store is big and memorable, middle of the mall - I think. There are a lot of clothes shops strictly specializing in very specific styles/fashions There are very unique antique-ish and collectible shops. Tons of food options. The coffee shop is super big and crowded and in the mall and not in the mall at the same time? There is a movie theatre attached. There are a few different audioriums, atleast one is very very large, can hold thousands of people, has multiple screens and a stage. The movie when played seems to be ongoing. I've seen films in the smaller auditoriums, they start and end like normal and usually aren't too weird of concept like what they would show in the big auditorium. I've been to several movies in that auditorium Back to the mall - there are a lot of stairs, winding and also just several flights of staircases and escalators. I would say if you are standing somewhere in a middle atrium of the mall, there would appear to be maybe 4 levels.... but there are much more, there are some hidden stairways to get to them, secret tunnels - some very simple, some very maze like, some very well decorated and rich. Almost everytime I go to the mall, I take a highway. A very large and super fast and dangerous highway with too many lanes. I've gotten lost so many times and also gone in circles just as many times. Theres almost always an animal on the highway that needs to be avoided. The toll ....? there is a toll, seems like they do something to your car to let you pass... not like you are paying a toll....I think there is a few of them. But one central of it all seems like it has endless lanes. The School is my favorite. It is very modern on the outside, it is very old and creaky on the inside but there are newer sections. The medical area, where students are learning to become doctors, is the newest and has extremely intricate archetecture. It's made of a tough material but it seems like glass. Attached somehow to the school, by either an enclosed bridge or something, is a large hotel/dorm. It looks much more like a hotel but every floor has a different style. There are motels or frats or something within the city which is really built like a tourist trap. There appears to be a lot of museums within the city, the campus, or just outside of it. And I am constantly trying to find them. Most are science orientated, many have animals, like a zoo or animal santuary, many are also only entertainment based. Every place has an interactive exhibit that I always get lost in - its always a maze or an amusment cart ride of some sort. The biggest symbol, whether this town is connected or not, and it really seems to be, is that All these places are surrounded by the same large and extremely powerful body of water - Seems like an Ocean, and across the horizon is the biggest most magestical city in the world.... I don't think I've ever been there. It's goldenish but not made of gold.... just very extrodinary looking...out of this world... I can't describe it... Also- when you wander to more secluded pockets of this world, outside the crowds of the town, there are some mystical small bodies of water like lakes and ponds. Sometimes, although those places are remote, there seems to be a ton of people who have found these hidden spots. There are always very dark characters trying to either lure you to or from these spaces. The remote areas are scary - whether rural or industrial, getting lost their I always feel like I am being followed or watched. Thats it for now. I'm gonna read more... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71509709 United States 04/03/2016 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So it is clear there are similar dream scenarios where pur souls travel whilst on speel mode... What I would like to know is; 1.Is this an actual astral dimension that is a place for souls to continue living and we are visiting their world and where we ourselves will end up? 2. Are we traveling to underground cities that exist in the real world? 3. Are we visitng real locations in the real world in a time-zone where it is daylight? 4. Is this world generated by an advanced AI computer simulation like the holodeck in Star Trek? 5. Could we be sent there to harvest our spiritual energies? 6. Is this a dream dimension created by aliens? 7. Is it possible that we are able to see other living people who are soul traveling to the same place? 8. Could this dimension be created by the military and scientists who have learned how to create an advanced holo-world training environment for certain souls that have managed to tap into or are brought to via celltowers or similar? 9. Is this part of heaven? 10. Who could have created these locations, how do we end up there and are we really meeting living beings in dream states or demons/aliens/dead people? |

This is a nightmare world with sick and dieing people, some of them maybe be deceased family members. There are no separate rooms, each floor may have partitions but most floors are open air with beds and ugly fabric couches. It is a horrible place and there are floors that have experimental surgeries and treatments going on while you walk through. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68203529 United States 04/04/2016 12:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not a recurring dream, but a recurring place one dreams about: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71664791 Absurdly steep and elaborate escalators. Stairwells that lead in and around in maze-like configurations. Elevators and lifts without walls (not good if you're scared of heights). Secret passageways. Underground food storage warehouse type setup. And of course, being able to "float' up and down the staircases. Try spontaneously accelerating by force of will while "floating" down the stairwells, speed up and grab the railing as you swing around the landing to increase speed on your way down to wherever. Oh, and they have a friendly tobacco shop. I've taken to calling it "Mall-World". I have dreams very similar to this only the tobacco shop in my dreams is in another dream location (different dreams/nights/location - but re occuring none the less). The university in my dreams is very similar, stairs in a "Escheresque" Fashion. If I can remember it was across the street from a satanic church. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71937929 Sweden 04/04/2016 12:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you were to look up photos of those so-called "Chinese Ghost Cities", I think the imagery would be similar to aspects of the dream locale in question. For example: [link to blogs-images.forbes.com] That one reminds me very much of "Freeway World" which is somewhere near Mall World. It's deserted for the most part. And one doesn't drive the freeways, one walks the freeway. |
McNulty User ID: 60017619 United States 04/04/2016 12:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The museum parts of the mall are the most striking. Unlike the mundane aspect of the rest of the mall I always feel like I am looking at something important and very real and perhaps a monument to something in the future. Even when I seem aware that it's a dream these statues and presentations seem to commemorate something important. Weaving spiders come not here |

This is weird. Hopefully someone has gone to that hospital lol Maybe they're empty cause people in this realm we all visit don't have a need anymore for it! :) Let's hope! Nice to know they're available just in case! This is the post that made me think of the Chines Ghost Cities I just posted about. |

The movie never started I don't think I went there to see it, there seemed to be an awards ceremony or some other sort of recognition event. The department store, very typical looking, is atleast 6-7 stories, this is where I spent my time. It's been Halloween lately in my dreams. |

In my version the sub basement in Mall World also might be described as being some kind of Lab/Office complex with lots of connecting hallways near the food storage room. |
