last night i had a dream that i was 10-14 and in a camp or orphanage with a bunch of other kids. there was this really deep well on the property and spelunking into it under supervision was a pastime. i slid down the rope along with about 4 other children and soon enough, reached the bottom. there was no actual water down there as it was just a preserved historical structure. we weren't down there for very long before something woke up and growled at us. everyone got back on the rope and was pulled up by a group of adults.

when i told them what happened, the chaperones immediately sealed off the well with a giant metal plate and told us to run. nobody second guessed the order and after a while we found ourselves downtown in a city that i didn't recognize. i entered a library/bookstore and the others soon followed, terrified. whatever was behind us had began to catch up. it's hard for me to put what happened next into detail, but somewhere along the way i managed to loop back into the bottom of the well, climb up and slam the cover on the thing's neck, which decapitated it. the head beared strong resemblance to a cow. it started to flop around before melting and seeping through the metal covering, which in turn shook violently. after that i woke up. my brain's narrative implied the body was still alive and regenerating.

the night before i dreamed i went to a hospital for a broken foot. the waiting room had an incredibly high ceiling and was painted this overbearing barf-yellow color. after about 15 minutes i was taken back by a nurse and went around in a cube-shaped maze that eventually led to a doctors office. along the way i saw hundreds of severely disfigured people, spread throughout various decontamination/sweat chambers. all of them had tons of excess skin/fat/tumors that kinda made them look like the abomination from warcraft 3.

i waited another 30-40 minutes for the doctor but he never showed up and i was scared shitless so i tried to run, but on account of my broken foot and the entire place being nearly impossible to navigate without a guide it took me a while. nothing really bad happened to me though. i think the story was that the disfigured people went to receive free corrective surgery for their flaws but on the condition that the hospital could save whatever they lopped off and sell it. i ended up describing the place a "flesh mall" when i got home and told my family about it. then a lion pride started living amongst the treetops in our backyard and we had to call pest control to remove them.
