The ink /power of creation

My dream starts with me at a water park of some kind. I'm walking around looking at the various slides and platforms to play on. I look down and notice I'm wearing red swim trunks walking on a white tiled floor with black grout. I notice my keys in my red spiraled band on my wrist are gone. I begin to retrace my steps looking for them. Then I check my pockets and find them. I decide to head back towards the entrance and spot a carousel cafe and arcade. I enter and see a circular dining area with blue carpet and dining tables in blue synthetic leather. The room in spinning true to the carousel name and food is all over the floor because of the spinning. I make my way over to the games and look over them. And arcade version of DOOM catches my attention and I spend time looking over it's wall of replica weapons from the game. I decide to leave and spend a lot of time walking a labyrinth of halls to find the entrance. I finally find the foyer room that is white tiled with brown walls and brass trims. I take my phone out to use it and it won't cooperate with me eventually the camera comes on and I see a shadowy mass encircling the woman next to me orbiting her like electrons. I come to the conclusion that the band on her arm is causing some kind of interference. I decide to finally leave and push on the door but it won't budge. I grow tired of walking around and I start to become lucid, I eye the glass and figure i can charge through it. I heaved myself forward into the glass and shattered without much fanfare; but I hit the darkness in the other side ensnaring me only to give way immediately and leave me standing back into the halls I took to get back.

This time I already know the way and make haste for the foyer; charging the glass door aginan as soon as it's with in sight and gives with even less of a fuss than the last time but just as the time before that darkness catches me holding me softly, almost losing my lucidity, I snap back in the hallways again.

Once more I set forth to the foyer but this time my wife's there. I come up behind her with relief and give embrace. It doesn't feel right, I turn her around and it looks like her but I know it's not. She says to me

"There isn't enough ink of creation. This fight will cost everything you have."

I replied

"I fight so I don't lose all that I have"

The woman with the visage of my wife says a final warning but I can't make it out. I charge again but not at the door, it doesn't even have glass in the frame this time. This time I charge the darkness and it catches me again and swaddles me in it's embrace. I start to feel paralyzed and I struggle to move, feeling my muscles twitch with effort but none the less uncompliant. The darkness won't abate this time so I struggle against numbness with more and more effort, taking in as much breath as fast as I can; feeling my cheeks slack and oscillating with each breath eventually I wake my self.
