Digital art, A person finds themselves in a grand building, possibly a castle, surrounded by a crowd chanting in an unfamiliar tongue, as they walk towards a doorway; reaching closer, they discover a colossal sand pit filled with enigmatic shifting shapes, only to be unexpectedly thrust into the pit, where the shapes reveal themselves as massive dog-sized spiders, prompting the person to desperately search for a weapon, leading them to a menu that materializes, presenting only a sword as an option; with the spiders closing in, they mentally summon the sword, grasping it just in time to swiftly cleave through the attacking arachnids, prompting exuberant cheers from the crowd, culminating in the person triumphantly crowd-surfing over their euphoric supporters, surrounded by the joyous cacophony of their unknown language.

I’m in some building, maybe a castle, walking up to a doorway. People are chanting in some strange language behind me, encouraging me forward. I get closer, and there is some sort of massive sand pit with several moving black shapes. Animals, I realize. Though I can’t quite make out what they are. Suddenly, I am pushed into the pit. As I rush toward the bottom, the strange black shapes become spiders the size of large dogs. I tumble down the walls of the pit and hit the bottom with a thud. The spiders stop moving. I need a weapon, I thought. At that exact moment, a menu appears before my eyes. The one item on the menu is a sword. I try to summon it with my mind, driven frantic by the sound of the spiders shrieking as they rush at me. Finally, the sword appears in my hand at the moment a spider lunges at me. I step to the side, and cleave it in half as it passes. Cheers erupt from the crowd above. I cut down the other spiders effortlessly, and the cheers grow even louder. The dream ends with me crowd surfing over everyone while they cheer in their strange language.
