DREAMSCAPE 1-6A LOCATION: MALL
You have been left behind. There is noise everywhere; music ricocheting through tinny speakers; the harsh tread of feet on porcelain tile; the stubborn drag of metal hangers on metal rails; a hundred voices that chatter and groan. Your mother is nowhere to be seen - swallowed up into the sound that becomes an echo of your feet on the polished floor. There are no voices now, only blood rushing in your veins and the static hum of striplights. Your mother is nowhere to be seen. You have been left behind.

DREAMSCAPE 2-14RM LOCATION: HIGHWAY
This is the way home but you are not driving. You cannot tell who is in the driver's seat but the song on the radio is one that your father used to play when he was in one of his cold blue moods. It sounds like his cigarette breath after another long walk. The whole car smells of stale smoke. Your hands are your father’s hands, yellow fingers gripping the wheel. The road goes on endlessly into the horizon.

DREAMSCAPE 3-16G LOCATION: GARDEN
The backdoor leads out into the garden. The sweet garden is always the same. Except, this time, there are white rabbits, as far as the eye can see. You follow one, falling into loping, bouncing steps as you trace its wandering path. You should go back, it says and you would but you know that the backdoor is long gone. You roll, tumbling into the grass and stare up at the empty sky. The wind blows softly and ruffles your gentle white fur.

DREAMSCAPE 4-C/100 LOCATION: ???
You have to climb. Keep climbing. Every step takes an inhuman amount of effort to conquer but you cannot slow down. The steps go on and on. Your chest is heaving but you can never inhale. You should be running but your ascent is almost a crawl. Your body is so heavy you fear you will sink back down into the dark but you have to keep going. Without knowing, you simply feel: something is waiting for you at the top.
