dream

I was a scientist in this underwater computer lab/server room thing, I think my wife and daughter died some time in my past so I was kind of distressed by that. For some reason I was entirely alone in the lab, nobody was there. I went outside the lab in my diving suit and swore I heard their voices, so I went looking for them. I looked back in the server room from the port on the door and saw it was infested with some kind of seaweed, which was actually on me too. I busted open the door, disregarding the airlock, and flooded the lab, manically looking for my daughter. Then I realized this seaweed shit was probably fucking with my head, I decided to get out of there by swimming to the surface, which actually wasn’t that far away. I managed to swim to a port town where some old colleagues were working in a monitoring station. When I got to them they asked me what the hell happened to me. Then I started hallucinating the whole room was being filled with the seaweed and some kind of dark-orange substance. They restrained me until I calmed down and the hallucination stopped.

I don’t remember why, I think it was to kill the source of the seaweed, but my friend/colleague and some kid went with me back down to the lab. We got a boat and all went down. As soon as I approached the lab, I was instantly covered in seaweed (I guess it was a hallucination too), and suddenly the entire ocean was drained, it was just a damp desert. I knew this was a hallucination, I knew the water was still there, so I didn’t take my helmet off. I was still going insane though, ripping out wires from the server room and dragging them outside. Apparently I had gone off the deep end, because my colleague shot me in the head. The last few moments of my dream I was just staring at him, floating, like time had stopped. In that one instance in time before I died, I had a lot to think about. I wondered if maybe I was okay, I had regret for ever working in this lab and for coming back, and I just hoped my daughter and colleague were okay.
