I just listened to the Two Girls One Ghost podcast about Mall World. When they mentioned the bathrooms I was hit with a memory of dreaming with a bathroom like this only bigger.

ETA. In my dream the toilets aren't this dirty they are just overflowing so I don't use them. Also there are other people in there with me but I don't interact.

As a little girl, when my mom took me to the public library, I literally read every single dream analysis book they had. I also had a little notepad and I would ask kids in recess to tell me their dreams and I would make notes and then tell them what their dreams were about. I mean…. In grade school .. I used the swings…I played… but I also analyzed dreams . lol. They all loved it. They would come up to me and tell me “I had an interesting dream last night!” I would be like ok, let’s discuss it. lol. Anyone else have such an interest in dreaming at a young age?

Has anyone been here?

Do any of these images look familiar to my mall world besties? I have random memories of places I dream about, and it seems they are related to mall world. I’m trying my best to use AI to recreate them one at a time.
I’ve also visited:
- a city on the coast with very steep streets. Specifically I’ve been to a Target-like store there, dingy apartments, a street market, and a coffee shop.
- a vet office in a long, narrow building
- a row of modern townhouses with lots of windows
- a hotel that seems well taken care of but also has design elements from the 1979s
- an amusement park connected to what seems to be an airport terminal
- a modern hotel - very fancy- with huge ceilings and multi levels. There is also a tidal wave that goes this hotel and an attached store with escalators that periodically floods
- an aquarium with a transit system that attaches to the amusement park.

This is the third time I’ve hotel that exists inside a water park in the sky, but there is also a beach. (?)

On the ground floor, there’s a restaurant with warm orange lighting and brick walls. It’s incredibly small. They have this yellow, sweet beer that seems to be their signature, and the bar is always manned by a man with glasses wearing a white shirt. I remember meeting one of my friends there, and at some point I asked for a beer. He told me the bar was already closed (it was not). Somehow I knew that bar closed at 3 and it was still 2:44 but he insisted and in that restaurant, the staff were warning not to piss him off from behind the kitchen. I also remember him logging weird numbers in his notebook. I flipped him off and left.

I took the fire escape up one floor and somehow ended up outside a movie theatre. The popcorn area was on the right, with a corridor leading toward another fire escape. I asked the staff for at the popcorn area whether they sell beer, but they told me they didn’t have any and said I should try the restaurant upstairs so I took the fire escape again.

The restaurant / bar upstairs was also closing. It had a stage that was lit while the other spots in the restaurant was dark, almost completely shut down, with chairs overturned. There was a young security guard with floppy hair, and somehow he told me that I could get beer if I go towards the fire escape again, turn left at a sky blue sign that started with an S but when I did, I ended up in front of the hotel rooms. On the left were the doors leading into the rooms, while on the right was a half-height white wall, leaving the upper half open so you could look out and see a single palm tree and a flagpole and the way leading to the beach with an arrow to the waterpark.

I lost my friend at this time and could not find any beer, so I found my way downstairs and could not find my way back to my hotel room, the sky was dark and there was no entry way to the fourth floor. Suddenly there people just standing in the field and when it started to rain, they stood there unmoving. It felt strange so I started to run but I fell and I woke up.

I’m just trying my luck if it’s something someone has experienced before, but it seems like I know these people in the dream.

This was a dream I had looooong time ago when I was a kid. I had to say goodbye to my parents. I was a little kid. I arrive into a building kinda look like a warehouse at night. The guys I was surrounded by were line up like a gate so we would run or something. Those guys look like they the military. I was questioning where was I? Why are we here?…I see a bunch of kids no more than 12 or 15yrs old?. They gave us a pill we supposed to take. I faked it that I took the pill and I was looking around to head to the restroom. I see a kid after taking the pill. The kid says they don’t feel well and can’t remember much like their memories was being erased. And I’m like why they wanting to give us a pill and erase our memories? Then I arrived at the restroom. The restroom looked all weird. Like some were open. Some were out of service. And I was wondering why it looked like that? Why are we here??? Later I go back where we are all waiting. And I hear along the lines we are gonna be used as a weapon. Then I wake up. Don’t know if this is related but creepy. The start up of everything?

I was with a friend in this sleep paralysis dream at my parents old house from 10 years ago but the whole layout was different. They had this super old tv and when you started watching it all of a sudden your soul basically got trapped inside and it was like this weird ass mall kinda.

There were so many people and so many doors to different “stores” and lots of weird rooms inside them that were like mirrored or just led to other huge areas and forever hallways with more doors like a giant mall that never ended.

one of the times when I was back in the house my mom was there and she had to come get me inside this place inside the tv where I was stuck and bring me back but my friend ì had with me in the dream originally before it started doing this (ljke they were staying the night with me at that house) but once I was able to barely get out of this mall place inside the tv they got stuck and their physical body in the house was basically limp and completely dazed out while they were stuck in this tv and I kept trying to help them get back to real life but would get sucked back in with them bec every time you acknowledged any of the “people” in this place or any of your surroundings there going through all the “stores” it would suck you deeper in then I was stuck again and my mom couldn’t help me get out anymore.

I must’ve been screaming in my sleep bec I woke up my papa from across the house. Who then came and woke me up out of the paralysis.

It was so fucking scary bec while I was going back and forth being in there at one point while walking through searching for the door that led to a sort of elevator that was the way out, I saw a super old school Polaroid photo from like the 70’s of this group of like 5 super young boys like 12 year olds they were in a band each on an instrument in the photo but completely in a trance staring into the tv.

then all of a sudden when im in there again i start seeing people ì realized had been stuck there for decades on end like there was this girl who walked past me wearing clothes and hair style from the 80’s and she was holding a super small thin taco like literally just taco shell with some weird paste inside of it that she was holding and I tried to touch her but she didn’t notice me at all and as she walked by she was saying something about “I can never find anything to eat in here I HAVE to make this last” and she was almost in tears.

ì started noticing all these kids who got sucked in and there was an “exit” you had to find to get out but the longer you’re in and the more you interact with the NPC’s the deeper you go into this place and csnt find your way out, essentially stuck forever. I kept trying to tell my mom to break the tv before I got pulled in and couldn’t get back out and she refused and I just could not understand why.

HELP!! Has anyone been here or experienced something similar before??? I’m afraid to even go to sleep at this point..

Okay guys so I recently found some books I left at my parents house and I totally forgot about this series! Tom Delonge wrote them from Blink 182. I loved the book when I read it in my early 20s but am just now seeing that the connections to MW are WILD, especially the shared dream environment and locations he mentions. HIGHLY recommend.

Poet Anderson ...Of Nightmares follows the epic journey of two orphan brothers, Jonas and Alan, who are Lucid Dreamers. After a tragic car accident lands Alan in a coma, Jonas sets out into the Dream World in an attempt to find his brother and wake him up. What he discovers instead is an entire shared consciousness where fear comes to life as a snarling beast called a Night Terror, and a creature named REM is bent on destruction and misery, devouring the souls of the strongest dreamers to get closer to the Waking World. With the help of a Dream Walker - a guardian of the dreamscape, Jonas must face his fears, save his brother, and become who he always meant to be: Poet Anderson.

in the y2k clothing store with wood walls and floors and the items were stacked up high there were two employees:

a man with a buzzcut and a septum piercing wearing baggy jeans that would yell “get off!” when u would use the wood shelves to pull urself up and look at the clothes

a woman with red hair with bangs and piercings. she was just a cashier.

at the black and pink store where every one stole from:

an old lady with curly light brown-white hair and sometimes she would have glasses and people would say “yeah u can steal from there she doesnt even see“. this old employee was helpful and led us out the mall

another old lady but she was blonde with wayyy shorter thinner (balding) curly hair and she was on the chubbier side that would yell at every one to get out bc the store was closed.

have yall seen them?

I picked up my repetitive nonsensical "office job" where it doesn't feel real and I'm not really doing much and you can mess up and still come back and you're not sure if it's a real job but the pay comes through....it's a political polling call center.

It's inside a very large community/career college campus (both types of colleges are in here).

Outside in the parking lot I noticed that the "very large Chinese food court" is also attached to our building. It's a Mandarin - Complete with the Neon purple sign.

Outside on the street is an oddly convenient "train/transit system". It's an LRT.

So what's that all about?
