As the clock strikes midnight, you decide to call it a night. You dutifully shut down your computer, feeling a wave of fatigue envelop you as the screen fades to black. Exhausted, you crawl into bed, allowing the soft embrace of your cozy blankets to envelop you. The world around you dissolves into darkness as you drift into a deep slumber.
When you wake up, it is not your room anymore. You open your eyes and analyze your surroundings, finding yourself in what looks to be a cave system, laying on a stone slab in the middle of a chamber. Your immediate surroundings are alight with a warm yellow beam coming from above, but the many pathways darting out of the chamber are all covered in darkness. You hear a contorted voice that gradually becomes more and more normal as it speaks. Its source seems to be the pathway straight ahead of you, and you squint your eyes to see the shape of a person, though the weirder part is, the walls behind it seem to.. move.

"Oh, hello! And who might you be? I have never gotten a guest before, please excuse the mess!"
Now with the voice of a she, the figure comes closer.
"I know what you are! You are a dreamwalker! None have entered my domain before, this is exciting!"
