Some sort of demon lurks at the bottom of the stairwell
You have 10 seconds to get to the top
Time accumulates every time you do it in less than 10 seconds
So after doing it for a long time you get a long time to actually do it in case your slower than 10 seconds for whatever reason
Usually in my nightmares if something is chasing me I can't move very fast. I go in slow motion but the bad guy goes regular speed.
Had a similar dream once but it was more less escaping from some gunman and hiding in an apartment block
Not really a weird childhood belief but did get me thinking where the ideal hiding spot was.
It was where I always hid when I was a kid
The paper recycle bin underneath the paper ^_^
One of those things no one would ever look for
Opens bin sees paper closes bin (lives)
