A Run For My Life

I had a very strange dream last night. Some other people (friends?) and I were being chased through a multi-story building with a parking lot by a psychopath. It also took place at a park nearby. The dream seemed like it lasted about an hour, as though it could have been an episode of a TV drama. As these things often are, unfortunately the details are now fuzzy. Below are some things that I can remember, though:

- The chase mostly occurred on the elevators
- We knew that a friend of ours, TM, was on his way into work. He had parked on the 9-1/2th floor. We tried for as long as possible to keep the elevator from stopping there because we knew that TM was unaware of the danger before him.
- To make the elevator stop at the 9-1/2 floor, you had to press the buttons for the 9th and 10th floors and stop the elevator in between. I remember something like this being done in the movie "Being John Malchovich".
- Just as soon as we thought things were getting back to normal, this guy - the psychopath - would flip out again and resume chasing us.
- Indeed we felt like we were almost always on the run for our lives.
- Eventually we thought it was safe enough to get TM from the 9-1/2th floor, but as soon as we stopped there, we realized that the psycho has become aware of the existence of the 9-1/2 floor. We had somehow thought that it was a "safe haven" - until then.
- Unfortunately we couldn't help our friend TM. By the time we arrived at the 9-1/2th floor, the psychopath had already got to him.
