Claustrophobia
Same Night
The Dreamer decided to go back to sleep.
The Dreamer dreamed that he was in a cement stairwell with steel stairs. For some reason, but not one immediately apparent to him, he stepped behind the stairs in the cubbyhole behind them to pick something up.
As soon as he was under the stairs, something fell and blocked his path so he was unable to get out from behind the steps. The steps were spaced too close together to crawl between them - so he was trapped. Then water came rushing in and he floated up against the back of the stairs until he was going to drown.
The Dreamer then changed the dream.
The Dreamer then dreamed that he was in a cave, deep under ground. It was brightly lit but he didn't know from where.
It was an underwater cave, the type that one must skin-dive to through narrow passages to finally emerge in the space. As he was sitting on a rock he heard a rumbling and knew that there had been a landslide and that he was trapped. He knew the narrow passage for his escape had been blocked. He was alone. Alone to slowly die alone.
He woke himself up.
Back to current time and place.
