Backrooms dream, it felt like I was stuck there for years.

I was in this dimly lit, empty building, kind of like a hotel. Everything was covered in dark red/orange wood, the floors and the walls, all of it. At first it just felt a bit off, but nothing too alarming. Then it hit me that I was completely lost. I couldn’t find the room I was meant to be in.

I started running from room to room. But every room had a different shape, like the layout didn’t follow any logic at all. Nothing connected properly. Some of the rooms had shallow water seeping in, only up to your ankles in places, but you wouldn’t even notice it until you stepped and disturbed it.

Every time I went into a new room, it felt like I had been wandering for ages. Not just minutes, but a long time. At the same time though, it also felt like no time had passed at all. Like everything was happening in a few moments, but somehow also stretching out into years.

After a while, things started to change. Some of the rooms were leaking this purple, lilac colored mold or foam. At first it looked like it was coming from the walls themselves, like the building was shifting or breaking down. Then I realised there were people actually spraying it into the rooms.

It was toxic. As soon as I got near it, I felt really sick, like I couldn’t breathe properly. I kept running, trying to find a way out, but it was spreading everywhere, faster than I could escape.

Eventually I collapsed on the floor because I couldn’t keep going anymore. Someone approached me and said, “We’ve been looking for you for a very long time.”

And that’s when I woke up.

The perspective kept shifting too. It would be first person when I was entering rooms and looking around, then jump to third person when I was running or trying to find an exit.

Is there a Backrooms level that sounds like this, or anything similar? Or even just an idea of what this kind of dream could mean.
