Dream No. 681 - The Wrong Elevator

I don’t remember how this started. From where I do remember, I seemed to be outside my Chisholm 311 campus and four girls from my high school were; I can remember who one of them was but not the other three. I then ended up at a distorted version of Knox Shopping Centre where I came to Hungry Jacks in the food court. The same four girls were there but as if they were acting like bodyguards and wouldn’t let me near the ordering counter.

The dream camera changed perspectives to third-person mode and Riku (in his KH3 appearance) was seen to be ordering at the counter. He was seen talking to the girl at the counter, as she asked him which Fanta he wanted, he pointed at the machine and said he wanted the pink one (there was orange and pink (raspberry)). He had also ordered a chicken burger which he was seen to take a bite of. Back to me; I was trying to get through the girls to the counter when all of sudden, Riku finished his order, got his drink, and came and told them they didn’t need to be there guarding the counter. As Riku than walked over to find a table; I felt cut that he bought himself a pink Fanta but didn’t get one for me. However, I felt like I shouldn’t say anything in fear of sounding rude and so I just quietly accepted my fate of getting nothing.

Once Riku had finished his lunch, the dream had showed us just outside the food court and Riku began to speak to me. He seemed to make an observation that if I was to return to my university campus for a new semester, my familiarity with the elevator my have washed and so my fear could return, so he specifically came as he said he wanted to take me for elevator practise. We discussed that we’d attempt usage of the elevator at MYER.

He then seemed to give me this entire preparatory speech. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked me right in the eyes, starting off with an endearment as he said “Angel, can you take control of your fears or will you let them take control of you?”. I didn’t necessarily answer as I knew it was a rhetorical question but Riku seemed to gauge from my energy that I was willing, so he directed me to go towards MYER. I ended up waiting for him at the entrance as I had gotten ahead a little bit and he needed to catch up to me.

Once Riku caught up, he and walked into MYER, which looked significantly different than in real life. Rather than being one large floor space, the second floor we entered on just seemed to be a narrow corridor with an eventual dead end. There were two young ladies working at the counter in the entryway, in which Riku had stopped to speak to one of them. He said something to the lady like “excuse me, do you know where the lift is? I’m just taking her for some practise because she’s scared of them”. The lady was very friendly and understanding and she pointed out to Riku where the lift was. Riku signalled for me to follow him to the elevator and so I did.

Just before we walked in, he once again asked me if I was ready. At the sight of the doors, my fear seemed to be present again but then I did say to Riku that I was going to do it. As the doors opened, Riku escorted me in and as they shut, realising I was still uneasy, he ended up encasing me in a surprisingly tight hug for him, as I peered over his left shoulder to remain true to facing my returning fear rather than hiding entirely. However, the surroundings in the lift became extremely distorted and started to look nothing like one in real life and it was actually me that told Riku that the surroundings were incorrect.

Riku looked around and he too realised that the environment was a dud. He was now thinking about which other elevator he would take me in. He thought about ones more in the middle of the shopping centre but then he decided that the interiors of them may be too dark and therefore look ominous to me. Eventually, he decided and told me that he would take me to the elevator at the opposite end of the shopping centre as he believed this would be the next best environment to my university one.

As he and I walked out of MYER, the same way we came in, we now past by two ladies working at the front register. An African lady was talking to another customer and the lady that Riku had spoken to before seemed to be preoccupied with her own task. However, at the last minute, the lady ended stopping us and asked Riku how we went. He told her that the attempt was a disappointment and that he’d be taking me to the one at the opposite end of the shopping centre. Just as we were about to exit MYER all together and walk to the other end, the dream ended.
