I was in a tower where each floor was a different restaurant, but it was laid out like a large tree, so you had to climb from floor to floor. There was one level where you really had to climb from “leaf” to “leaf”, where each “leaf” was about 3’x6’ and you had to crawl to fit and not fall down. The owner was old with whispy white hair, and there were quite a few customers so I had to wait. I kept thinking about how he had to climb this every day at his age and wondering at it.

After, I boarded the local train/subway and could see the stops as if I were above the train. But at one moment, I was inside the train and the conductor opened the door while still moving, and I could see that we were parallel to another train with a small platform in between. The conductor motioned to me and said that there was enough time to get on the other train and get back. I hesitated, then decided to go for it – for fun. But as soon as I stepped out onto the platform, he closed the door! I mouthed to him through the window “you tricked me!” but he mouthed back “I didn’t trick you!” The time had just run out.

So, I got onto the other train and figured I would just get off at the next stop and take the train back the other way one stop. When I get out, I was in an enormous, glorious Russian train station with extremely high ceilings and glowing with golden walls. There were few people, and really only a giant confusing billboard with the many routes. I tried to find the station I needed to get back to, which I think was Irkutsk, but I couldn’t find it, even though it was in English! I saw a few attendants standing around, but they only spoke Russian so were no help. I was really starting to panic.

Some time soon though, I was driving a rental car and could see it top-down like a video game. The roads were crazy but it didn’t get too bad until I reached a huge roundabout. There were arrows pointing out in every direction and it was so confusing! I picked a direction that seemed to continue my original route, but cars were going every which way! Suddenly, it was abrupt chaos as it turned into a 20-car pileup and I could see that my car was very smashed. I was really panicking, but as I tried to move the controls, the car mostly healed itself and I was back on my way, just really slowly.

Next I knew, I was in a hotel nearby with my mom, sister, and a strange man. We were lounging on the bed watching TV, then decided it was time to go to bed. So I got up to turn off the TV, and found that it was part of a multi-component unit that included a lamp, stereo, and other things. They each had their own switch, but there was also a master switch which I pushed. My mom asked if I wanted cereal, and I said yes. It was some kind of frosted strawberry granola, and my mom said that she had another bag flown in from America! Then I woke up.
