I was in some kind of underground cave. There was no sky but there were obvious signs of people having lived there at one point, buildings, chain-link fences etc. I was walking along a gently upward sloped pathway, along a fence. Every so often there was a gap in the fence and I would try to get through, but I was blocked by some natural formation the first two times, I think a pit on the second one. On the third try a big yellow robot blocked my path. At first I thought it was stronger than me and it would stop me, but I subconsciously split off a part of myself, and assumed a very calculating, observing mind, while my body seemed to split from my consciousness and fight. I knew I couldn't withstand a prolonged fight, so I looked for openings with my mind and dodged its attacks with my detached body. The robot attacked with fire, creating an inferno wherever it struck. I managed to slip through it's defenses between attacks and deactivate it. I didn't enter the fence where I could have, and continued walking upward along the slope and beside the fence. Not long after, I came upon a tunnel leading further upward along the gradient. Almost as soon as I saw it, It exploded into a fiery inferno and begun pouring lava, I was shocked and ran back down the slope. I jumped up on top of some tall plateaus, about the size of a house each that were on the opposite side of the fence, to get to higher ground. I watched as the lava engulfed the area and continued down another tunnel. Shortly after a the branch of the lava exited through the lower tunnel, a massive quantity of water started pouring out of it. I came to the conclusion that the lava had melted an ice wall and allowed the water to flow freely. The water turned the lava to rock over the course of about a minute as I watched from my vantage point, transfixed. I woke up near the end of the process.
