I had these dreams in 2011 if i remember it right.

DREAM 1

I opened my eyes and i saw a city.

I was a "guest" there, and i believed i was invited or maybe taken here. I knew there were others but i did not see them.

I walked around the streets, there was not even a single tree. Everything from the biggest building to the smallest structure had a rusty bronze color of metal.

The people, they did not talk much, they just worked. The city woke up very early with a loud horn and the factories began to run. I saw the workers, they looked blank and tired. The way they quietly walked into lines made me think of machines.

Another odd thing i noticed is the sky. There was no day here, no sun, just endless night. But there were two giant red moons instead and they were there when i arrived.

Around 7pm, the workers left the factories. Seemed like it had drained them. I stopped wandering around and returned to my room.

There were a special building in the city, away from the residential area, it was the only thing that was built with bricks. It looked like an old motel but bigger. This place was for us, the guests.

My place was a single room: a simple bed, a closet, a table, a chair and a toilet. I sat down the bed and waited. The only light source in the room was two small lamps on the wall above the bed. It was dim and quiet.

When the clock struck 9pm, i heard the horn again. After that was a voice. It told everyone to return to their home, lock all the doors and stay inside until the next horn.

Because there was a man, a monster. He would patrol the city and kill everyone he saw during the night. All he did was kill, kill all on sight. And somehow, i knew he loved human flesh. But the worst part was that the people who ran this city kept him as a way to maintain discipline.

I tried to lock the door but there was no lock. That was when i understand why they took us here and promised just one night then we could go back. It was always night here.

I rushed outside. The hallway was dyed in red moonlight and it was cold. I could hear the growling clearly in the dead silence of the city. I knocked on all the doors near mine, one, two then more but no one answered.

The sounds were getting louder, there were also clanking sounds of chains, sound of something heavy got dragged on the ground.

He was getting closer.

Finally, i found a room, it was not locked. I ran inside, closed the door. I saw a couple, they were surprised to see me but i do not have time for for their questions.

He saw me.

This room was bigger than mine, it had two bedrooms. I ran into one and locked the door hoping for the best.

I heard screaming, the sounds of chains, then heavy footsteps.

The door was forced opened.

I turned back.

DREAM 2

I had returned.

It was the same city, same sky, same room.

But this time it would be different. Because i knew.

When it was 9pm again. I left the building and started running as fast as i could. I wanted to survive.

The city was protected and isolated by a wall of metal fence. Beyond that fence was where i was told not to go. But that was the only way out.

I ran as the monster roared in the city behind me. I did not look back.

After a while, I saw the fence, it was so old that it had rusted out and broken. Then, i met the others, they were also trying to find a way out.

We helped each other to pass the fence. Only then did i look back.

The city became quiet again. But i thought about the miserable people in there. They were trapped because they were not brave enough to find a way out.

Luckily, we were different.

>> Note: These are two separate dreams i had about the same place.
