Through the pipes

So, the dream starts out sort of in the middle of a scene. It was a rocking horse and a bunch of dinosaur toys laying on the white carpet of a house, "dead." From my point of view, even their eyes were x'ed out. Somebody -I don't know who, but it was a kid's voice- said that it's been three months, and they're not coming back. The next thing I know, the toys were on a board, all tied together and down with rope. Then I was at a lake or quarry of some sort, and the dead, tied toys had been thrown in, given a water burial. As the toys drifted into a large pipe, the words "death of childhood" came to my mind, and my chest ached, as if the sadness was real. The next scene was a first-person view trying to follow the drifting toys through the powder green pipes, but they made a right turn into a smaller pipe and disappeared from sight. I went climbing in, and there were three more pipes to enter. I chose one, and went sliding. The pipes twisted and turned, split off, and started to get smaller, until one dropped me into a hidden purple metal room. I saw a blue light from around a corner, and heard a blip noise. It was a computer setup, with an email account open. There was a fast series of blip and notification noises, and the computer started talking and moving. It seemed to be in an argument with itself, or reading the written conversation, saying " Stop sending your angry letters to me." A few steps further, and there was a cartoonish rabbit in a shirt on a sofa. There was an altered version of the Australian flag on the wall behind him. He was surrounded by stationary, and kept putting things into envelopes, using his ears to fling them into pipes above him. Pictures of more realistic rabbits came up, notifying in their own voice that "Rocky sent me X in the mail." At least that sounded like his name. I left the room to continue my journey, but that's where it ended.
