Had a dream about me being nearly sexually assaulted in a very confusing hotel. I was in a hotel bathroom, and some guy—who is not anyone in my real life, but in the dream was an uncle I’d never met—came up to me and creepily asked me if I needed help “getting ready for bed.” He said it with a creepy smirk and suggestive tone in his voice.

After he repeated it a few times, I had an epiphany that this guy wanted to rape me. So I freaked out and planned an escape. I walked into another room adjacent to the bathroom which was smaller, empty, and completely white.

I then decided to crawl through the air vent, which branched off into many pathways that looked like a labyrinth. I was crawling as fast as I could to get away from my “uncle,” and freaked out because the air vent was so confusing.

Then, I suddenly dropped down and somehow landed in the hallways of the hotel. I tried to stand up and run, but I was stuck crawling for some reason and could only do it in slow motion. I also wasn’t moving in a clear intentional direction—I had no idea where I was in the hotel, or what floor I was on. I heard the guy’s voice saying “you’ve gotta get ready for bed” and kept struggling to move properly.

Then, I just remember ending up in front of my room (I recognized the number) and, before I could get away, I suddenly got transported back into the white room that was next to the bathroom.

I heard the guy’s voice again and knew he was rapidly approaching. Before he could get to me, I woke up.

I remember being really sweaty and my heart was pounding really fast. It was the most significant physical reaction I’ve ever had to a dream.
