The Cusp's Attempt

I thought it seemed a little empty there last night.

I made it there, more or less. I was half asleep and half lucid, but I managed to incubate the right area. Only problem is I was seeing it as a top down video game. The whole pyramid area was parsed off into grids indicating different levels. And each level had sub levels withing sub levels within sub levels. I spent a lot of time fighting bosses, and navigating the different levels. At one point I realize that if I'm in the deepest levels, nobody would be able to find me, so I exit to the top level.

I don't see anyone, can't find anyone, so I figure I might as well try to change the environment to see if anyone notices the changes I made when they finally get here. So I summon a swarm of flying creatures that kind of look like the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz. My perspective moves along with them through the sky over the pyramid, but I figure I better get back on the ground if I'm going to find anyone.

That first part was when I first fell asleep, and wasn't a real world but more like a video game representation. I did have a dream later in the night where I was fully immersed at the pyramid, but can't recall that much of what was gong on. I was hoping I might read somebody else's dream to spur my memory.
