ITT: we discuss our dreams of mall world and other such repeating or liminal spaces that seem to be connected in the human subconscious, and feel more real than regular dreams my latest:>enter through a grocery store that quickly becomes a department store >get lost, can't find my way out >some old woman 'employee' gets mad at me for being there for so long >only other person there and refuses to listen to me >wander into strange connected sauna type room >winding rooms of pool tiles>there's a ball pit and slide >see children go down slide >try to follow, but I am too big to fit in the non euclidean slide entrance >go back >another cramped room of people working out in this weird tile texture place>get the feeling I shouldn't talk to them as I shouldn't be here >it's connected to more winding halls that seem to go on forever >see door, for some reason think this is an exit >sign says "SMOKE ROOM" >open >hall is turquoise with tens of turquoise doors on each side>the paint on the doors is peeling and their frames are warped >parts of them have been bloated out in a bubble like fashion >I get the sense it's both humid and hot down this corridor and I should not proceed >slam door shut >loop around for some time til I'm back in the department store, where I stay until waking up what was your last or most memorable dream there? theories on the overall layout? commonly interconnected areas, or attempts to map things?
Does anyone else find monsters usually spawn in the bathrooms? Or only become apparent after visiting a bathroom area?
>>42575341yes. there's an elevator in the mall I often am able to play a sort of game on by pressing the buttons a certain way. it leads to various levels or self contained worlds. one of them is a sauna and every time I enter the bathroom portion of it everyone is attacked by some freaky asian horror lady or silent hill type demonother times though, if I enter the mall proper and >all the lights are outor am fleeing from the post-apoc city, there's a good chance monsters are already present (part of how I found that elevator game originally was trying to flee them) weirdly, I never feel fear in mall world. I've never been caught or hurt either. sometimes I just walk by like I know they're there, but I don't really care

I can drop some rare Mall World lore for you guys.Did you know that the whole Mall World, when viewed from the outside, exists within a two-story building about the size of a small, rural high school? Not many people know this, but the building is also located in an overgrown grassy field surrounded by forest. Not a single parking space or other man-made object in sight besides the building itself.Unsurprisingly, the exterior of the building looks rundown and aging.Little tip if you ever happen to visit Mall World at a time *before* the flooding has happened: if it starts happening, don't flee to the 2nd floor as your instincts will want to do. The 2nd floor is actually the level that floods first, in a delightfully dream-like way.
>>42575544I've seen a lot of people mention the exterior forest and although I can't remember seeing it myself that sounds right to me. but I've also seen and heard of it being attached to a city, as well as a hotel, and other such things. do you think it's possible mallworld has multiple entrances or exteriors, and the forest is simply one of the most common, or maybe it's "true" face, so to speak?
Has anyone ever actually driven there, or do you spawn in or outside of the mall? I spawn
>>42575589I think the answer may be that building itself is capable of visiting different dream locales. So the forest is less "true face" and more like where its foundation rests. But was that where the foundation was actually originally poured? That I haven't a clue. It's certainly an odd place to build a mall.
>>42575067I really wish I was skilled and dedicated enough to model what I remember of the mall world in Blender or Unity. I may try to give this a go some time.Lemme drop some loreMall World, Backrooms and the Pool Rooms are all connected (as well as many other places). There is an artificial block on our "dreams" by the powers that be so that we cannot remember as well as we are supposed to. Dreams aren’t unreal made up stuff, they are like a shared metaverse that we can access.I first had recurring dreams of all 3 of these places from around 2016 to 2019 and then it stopped. But I still remember them extremely well and I would draw maps but it would look like shit.Also there are fantastical enhanced versions of real life places that we know and exist in in the real world such as your home town, city, places from your past. In the dream world these places are significantly larger, stranger, more wonderful and interesting. The real world is dull, limited and boring in comparison. Imagine real life to be like a shitty wish.com ali express knock off of the real thing.We are being artificially blocked from remembering.One part of Mall World is that it connects to underground tunnel and train systems and also to a larger city outside. Its not all in one place, like a college campus there are other parts of the Mall World that are separate. There is one large apartment block near by and if you go to the top floor (about 8 stories up) there is a small part of the mall that exists separately from the main thing but its still considered part of it. Its just one floor with some shops.Also what people dont know about the backrooms is that its a hotel, but some floors exist underground and are hidden from the public. I dont know why.
>>42575619I spawned inside once and visited it from the outside another time (when looking for a red-haired woman)You can enter the building through a knocked-out window on the first floor, on the exterior-facing side of one of the main wings.
>>42575701A lot of those backrooms games are made with Unreal Engine, which is free and has lots of free assets on the store (and some big packs you can pirate from vfxmed). When you download UE there is no interactive tutorial that shows you how to make and edit stuff. I think it'd be an easy way to recreate and share things if you ever want to give it a shot.
>>42575858>no interactive tutorial Should read an interactive tutorial.
>>42575067>be me>be 9 or 10> dream >everything is made of swimming pool, a bit like an area in the underneath of the castle in super mario world where you have to hit a switch and drain water in order to go through door>swimming pool steps>swimming pool corridors>swimming pool passages and tunnels>swimming pool everything>no way out>just mediocrely lit swimming pools, room after room after room
>>42575067I have dreams that take place in a mall all the time, but they're usually pretty mundane. Mostly just browsing different stores. There's also a large hotel, a open air flea market, and a fancy school campus which is consistently holding a public fair for some reason.>>42575544Funny enough I did have a dream where the mall was flooded and some of the floor was cracked once, there was a still function tattoo parlor where I had a chat with the person there. Something or other about blue tattoos, I'm not sure.
>>42576142actual oldfags know these threads have been around long before some shitty plebbit sub was made. at least look on 4plebs before you try to dickwave. some of us have actually been around since before you had to vote shitty candlejack and holder threads into 4chanarchive, unlike you fake oldfags attempting to ruin any kind of content that isn't summoning succubi and nobody botting.
>>42575619I've only ever spawned. I remember one time being driven to some futuristic school of sorts that later led into the mall, but never the mall itself>>42575693I like this theory of yours. its interesting to ponder whether it was poured and framed or simply came into existence. are you of the mind the exterior building may exist or have existed in the waking world? >>42575701if I'm following your post correctly, you're saying that these places are from actual reality while our waking world is a false reality? I'd be interested in seeing your maps, even if its 1000 hours in mspaint tier. don't need to be an artist those little "hidden" areas are my favorite. the cut off places that you get to in weird ways and that don't seem particularly interesting on the surface, but they always have this weird feeling of belonging and nostalgia to me
>>42576115pool room seems to be a popular concept. weirdly I've not seen a lot of accounts of people actually visiting it in dreams, count this my first
>>42575293Is this AI generatd lol? Anyway reminds me of the SH3 bookstore.
>>42575701Damn now that you mention it. I've had dreams of mall world too. I thought I was just dreaming of Japan.
Yeah I often have mall dreams, they are often located inside the CBD of a capital city or something, and have many many levels with many different shops. In particular I have dreams where:>I have the ability to float around/levitate>turn invisibleSometimes the mall is only one location and I am flying over the suburbs at night - but the catch is that I am always looking for women to rape>floating around or being invisible in public space or huge mall area>constantly looking for women to grope>sometimes drag them into a dark corner or an old bathroom and undress them and rape them>often rape them anally as wellJust last night I remember burying my face in a chicks butt and licking all over and inside her pussy and butthole.
Has anyone else ever triggered one of the anti-theft androids? I had a dream last night that I stole a rare golden Gameboy Advance cartridge for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, and out of fucking nowhere I was being chased through the mall by an employee that transformed into a superhuman robot. It was causing a scary amount of destruction, and I woke up when it caught me. I don’t know why, but its presence felt like “anti-love.”
>>42578021piracy is a crime.
>>42576843I didn't create it but based on the lights/irregular coloring and weird repeating vhs-cassette looking things along the one shelf I'm leaning towards yeah. AI is getting pretty good these days >>42578021interesting. I've had employees try to stop me in some dreams but never a full bot chase like that. most of the time I'm able to take whatever I want without bother. I remember an anon in another thread saying he even stored all his loot in a homebase of sorts from dream to dream
>>42575067oh, great. they're artificially creating the memes to make the movies out of now>avi bergwitz presents: paul blart 4: le blackrooms! you can't escape his MALL
>>42580026I'd be glad for a mall world movie, as long as they didn't fag it up with some random kidnapping and faggot monsters like the backroom. infinite mall dreams have been discussed on here for over a decade desu senpai. backrooms originated here too
>>42580099nice try mr shill. get a real job
>>42575067Mine looks a lot like an actual mall in my city, but significantly bigger>large open central space, multiple floors, stores on the sides>on both ends, large retail stores>basement parking space>huge L stairs to access mall, vending machines every few sectionsI have had a couple of dreams of going to a second hand retro game store and being convinced I’m going to find something great
>>42581227does your local dream mall also connect to other places like some anons report? ie bathrooms, pools, hotels, so on? or is it mostly self contained?
>>42581270I haven’t explored far enough, like I said, it’s much larger than the real life mall, but its probably big enough to be connected to somewhere else
I ran thru a mall naked one time to save a girl in a sweatshop next door
Mall world is dope fr
>>42580026You’re absolutely correct, but the mall dreams have been a thing for a while now, maybe even longer than the backrooms photo, and we shouldn’t stop talking about it just because capitalistic jews are on the prowl. We win by keeping it real.
I used to visit dream mall frequently, but havent in years. Dream mall, the back rooms, etc are a real place. There are several of them. The government, utilizing some sort of technology, uses these places as a safe place for unintentional astral projectors. You are kept there until you wake up or enter REM and reunite with your body.
Entered underground mall world that was in the back of a Chinese restaurant behind a paper wall, there was a theater there where mechanisms came out of where the screen was and interacted with the audience in a weird way.
>>42575067For me it's like a large mall/school campus. It's probably my most common dream I have.
>>42582916what do you think is their motivation for doing that? what would we be encountering otherwise that we need a safe space? >>42583228interesting, this adds to other anons saying there is an underground area. also the idea there are multiple entrances or ways of getting there >>42583520any notable interactions or areas within?
I've taken an elevator up to a roof before. I say a roof because I don't think it was "the" roof. It was night out and there were skyscraper buildings all around. There was a helicopter pad and construction with scaffolding and plastic and such as if it were continuing to be built upwards. the elevator itself seemed to deteriorate as if it was getting older or more worn down as I got there, or like it was under renovation itself. I felt a chill breeze and a sense of foreboding and when I went back down the elevator took a few presses of now half popped off buttons before lurching to life again. I think I ended up there because I was trying to flee or hide from something (it's been so long I've forgotten)
>>42581227Sometimes my mall looks like a local one I used to work in too, but much bigger as well. Other times its a mall I've never seen before. Somehow I can tell they're all the same mall tho

I always thought my mall dreams were just a product of the drugs I did at a local mall that was a major drug hub for teens. But the mall dreams look very different that the mall I visited in the physical world.
>>42584537c o m f y o mfy>>42584582one thing I've noticed about mall world dreams is that they feel a bit different than other dreams, at least to me. the kind of lucidity to them and amount I remember is always much more vivid than usual. but I don't know if this is the case for everyone

I have had teo dream where there was a mass shooting/fire at the mall and I had to run. Has anybody had anything similiar?
>>42585004Think it could be prophetic? Or maybe it's from an alt timeline you avoided
>>42575589Its an island. Like manhattan. Ive explored the whole thing. The tall towers are mostly empty or taken up by these demon creatures. Some are also jails but those are easily escaped with the help of other convicts. It seems to be manhattan but could be any island idk people there dont speak or understand english in my experiencesEverything is watched big brother styleThe island connects to other similar megalopolises and ive seen one thats up in the mountains like a swiss ski village for the mega elites. Also visited some massive mansion north of the endless suburbs on the other side of the river bordering the islandI think its all real in some way
>>42575067I haven't had that many shopping centre dreams, but when I do they're great. For some reason they feel absolutely gigantic in dreams, vaguely familiar but not quite. I should have written down my experiences as now all I have are hazy memories.
>>42584022>any notable interactions or areas within?Yeah. One time I had to go to "class" and then these people came into the room and told me I had to come with them for my safety. They told me someone is trying to kill me and that made me laugh in my dream because I don't have any enemies. Another time the "guards" recognized I wasn't supposed to be in a certain area and tried to run after me but I escaped then woke up.
>>42575067I’ve been having mall world dreams since I was a kid. My first dream was weird. I was in a Blimpie sandwich shop on overhang overlooking the food court. It was covered in pink neon signage potted plants and very beautiful.The second time I remember having a dream there was some sort of three-story tall jungle gym like Chuck E. Cheese but it was all plastic or kids could play on. There was a zip line rope climb stuff like that like imagine Chuck E. Cheese or Discovery zone play area but bigger and taller. I think there was a drop onto a parachute. I played in there so long I didn’t wanna leave when I woke up. I was very depressed.Then I went to a restaurant a lot of people lotta families. I think it was Italian or some sort of food court restaurant middle upper class. I saw an exterior once it was huge. I can’t recall how many stories it was, but it was huge. It was a fountain outside. It was these brownish sun baked bricks in the desert, where the mall was based. I live in New York City. I’ve never been to a desert unless you count the beach.And I think I remember people there too maybe dead people. I think I saw Heath ledger in one of those dreams, but he wasn’t a joker or anything like that. He was very noble in his presence.I think more world is purgatory or some sort of waiting room for souls to return to earth. I’ve never been dead. I’ve only been under anesthesia once and I’ve met my guardian angel then but I don’t wanna go back to mall world no matter how fun it looks. I’d rather stay on earth. Also, heaven is temporary you can go there be with God, but you come back because there’s really nothing to do in heaven, other than being part of God. No offense is just kind of boring to me.I’ve also been to hell but hell’s also temporary it’s where you’re gonna burn out your sins. Unless you deserve to stay there forever, which is very rare.PS my captcha is a cross
I find mallworld stories fascinating. Have a bump.
I had an infinite school dream just now, don't know if that counts. The teachers were all females who had the same kind of cut and style as agent Scully, but were very stern and rude. They kept demanding things of me and grabbing the other students by the wrist/arm and dragging them around. I'd refuse them/deny their power trips which seemed to make them malfunction and they'd just go silent and glare. Every time I attempted to leave I'd get lost in the labyrinthine halls and end up back in the same classroom. There was also a bunch of my childhood toys and things there that they seemed to be keeping hostage, particularly Pokemon stuff. Very strange.
I don't have mall dreams, liminal spaces are always like "visiting my cousin's house" but it's a massive nonsensical mansion. Or just a school that is a nonsense maze. Otherwise my dreams are at my house, but a bit off, or in nature.
I hope I dream of mall world proper tonight, seems like it's been forever
