I was in a bizarre pet shop that looked like something between a wooden children's playground labyrinth and an underwater glass zoo display. A dense crowd of people was permitted to walk near a massive tangled network of small glass corridors, which housed small animals, the vast majority of which being puppies. All of the puppies were huddled together right up to the glass in one area, except for one lone puppy meandering elsewhere. This, I soon discerned, was because not all of the glass corridors had access to all the others. I asked a security guard to move that puppy to a different area that would eventually give it access to its comrades, but he seemed apathetic, and it might have been closing time.

I was on a class fieldtrip to the top of a massive skyscraper. Apparently I was at my high school age. It was night, and everyone was walking all over, near the edge. One girl walked out onto a very thin ledge that eventually became a point at the end. She began to lose her balance, and tried to jump back to the main edge, but she did not make it. I immediately turned away, closing my eyes, and pressed my hands very hard over my ears because I did not want to hear the reactionary screams of everyone around me. I made sure to keep myself away from the edge, and I was leaning against the wall of the central gift shop. I saw another classmate on an edge a few stories lower than me. He was looking up at me, and inadvertently stepped right off. I yelled to him. Some older kid suddenly fell from above me and landed almost right on me, splattering blood on me. I thought that I detected laughter. Another kid from above fell very near me again, intentionally facing head-down so as to maximize the mess he gets on me. These kids were killing themselves by me on purpose to taunt me. A new kid fell and splattered by me at a regular rate of every few seconds. In order to escape, I had to time it just right and dash away between impacts.

I was in a gift shop that specialized in nothing but magnets. My brother and I were searching for something that was giant, blue, and square-shaped. We eventually found something that resembled this on a stage, perhaps acting as the curtain. We were seeking this giant blue square because we knew it would use magnetism to do something amazing. Watching it sit on the stage, I noticed the top two corners began to curl downward, and then I realized that the whole structure was contorting. It all eventually turned itself into a floating amorphous polygonal ribbon, designed specifically to delight customers. I was not satisfied with this, so I went to look around the rest of the magnet gift shop. A woman used her cell phone to get some information about one item she was examining. The person she called was Kevin Spacey. He was happy to explain anything with extreme detail about any item in the shop. I eventually got the phone from the woman, and indeed I heard Kevin Spacey's voice explaining various activities you could do with magnetic metal filings. I heard the woman say how much she loved him. As Kevin Spacey was explaining, everything he said would be automatically demonstrated on the floor for everyone in the store to see. In this case, there were metal filings forming into elaborate movable thin concentric rings.
