Strange dream
I had several last night (side effect of reading Tim Powers before bed, one suspects) but this is the one that stuck.
I was walking through what seemed to be a kind of mall or shopping plaza. I had a sense of urgency, like I was needed somewhere, but saw a comic shop and went in. Once inside, I went directly to the back and passed through a door. Behind this door was an octagon-shaped room with a very high ceiling. Arrayed around the room were other doors, and one staircase to a door on a higher level. For some reason, I left immediately back into the comic shop, where I realized I had lost my cell phone. I retraced my steps, but when I got back to the octagon room, I was overwhelmed with vertigo. I managed to stumble back into the shop, where Dave and Claire (two fannish friends) were watching as I fell to my knees then onto my face. I felt like I was under the influence of several g's.
Then I woke up.
