Lost in a big building

Sometimes I am in huge buildings with multiple stairways and corridors—a school? A mall?  A castle? I race around trying to find specific rooms. But there is no logic to the positioning of the rooms. There is a huge ballroom on the upper floor, but to get into it each person must enter through a secret doorway that is extremely small, to the point of having to fold up one’s body to fit through the tiny opening. Once through the hole, the room is large, like a showroom with a balcony. To leave that room, one must climb the ladder of a spiral slide and slide out through another hole in the floor. At the bottom of the slide is a completely different building. In these dreams I usually remember suddenly that I became separated from companions or from children for whom I was “responsible.” These dreams often close in a great deal of angst as I fret about how to reconnect with my companions. The visual images in these dreams are really engaging!
