weird but cool dream:

i dreamt i was at some kind of airport or mall with a couple of friends and a couple of office chairs. We had sit in these office chairs and use them to reach the end of the hall in a certain amount of time, while avoiding running into people. seems easy? but this hallway was HUGE and VERY LONG (these hallways were kinda curvy too, but they were really wide so they weren't like tight curves). The floors were smooth and icy too.

it was also a short amount of time we had to reach the end. and for some reason when we went rolling, we would go at breakneck speed. It was weird because we had to turn and slow down at just the right time (without coming to a complete halt) because it wasn't instantaneous like in a video game. another weird thing was the fact that the hallways themselves were only crowded at the sides. People were waiting next to the walls, but the middle was totally free, except for when a few people occasionally walked across the middle to block us. So it wasn't like they were actually shopping/waiting but they were an audience trying to create challenge by becoming the obstacles.

And for some reason I wasn't using my feet to move this thing, only when I needed to turn. This chair is telekinetic! In fact, I don't think I caused any of this speed. To avoid hitting people, I have to put my feet on the icy cold floor (but gently to slow down, not to stop immediately. i had to keep moving, it was a race). And then I had to paddle away from their direction. you're kinda forced to slow down a bit because you're kinda breaking the flow of the chair with your feet. And when you lift your feet, the chair speeds right back up. Maybe this airport/mall is seated tilting on top of a mountain?

Eventually it got faster and more people started walking across the hall. I was traveling at uncomfortable speeds trying not to crash into people but it was fun. It felt very video gamey.

So putting these things together, imagine a 3d game, kind of like an autoscroller where you have no influence of your speed going forward (except when you try to turn you kinda slow down), and you only have to focus on avoiding obstacles and turning. except the floor is like ice and the controls are like a tanks controls. the moment you see an obstacle pop up away in the distance, press left or right because it will take forever for you to actually move out of the way. it's like a bad game.
