Had a long & detailed dream that felt.. weirdly religious? Like a premonition? I can't really explain it, but it left me with a weird feeling throughout the day.
I was inside of a huge mall, just walking around, looking at stuff. At some point, I was in an open main area and noticed that I'd lost my shoes and socks somewhere, so I was walking around barefoot. Me and other people were waiting for the elevator (which was in the middle of the room, some fancy open-concept kind of elevator), but it took forever to show up.
My partner texted me and asked if we still had rucola at home - I texted him back, sarcastically, that no, today of all days we probably don't have any. (it's rare for me to be able to read words properly in dreams)
Just when I was about to walk away from the elevator, it popped out of the ground, but it was filled with water that started spilling out. As if the whole downstairs area was flooded with water. The water was clear and slightly blue, not nasty or disgusting.
Then water started to come in from 'seams' in the walls of the mall, dripping down from the ceiling. People around me were confused but didn't panic. I walked out of the hall and through the mall, hoping for a way out. Water was everywhere. Through the windows I saw that the sky was blue, and it wasn't rainwater pushing into the mall, but it must've come from 'inside' the mall.
While I was walking, the phrase "it's a biblical plague" rang through my mind.
At some point I reached a "mall church", or basically a huge baroque-style church hall that was built from red bricks, just sitting inside of the mall. It was completely dry compared to the rest of the mall. Inside there were a few people, but they didn't react to me; they seemed like wax statues. At the end of the church, a fat priest sat inside a big, elevated chair and was eating caviar with his bare hands while sobbing and crying hysterically. He also didn't react to me trying to talk to him.
I checked the windows inside the church to see if I could climb out through them, but they only led to more hallways that were already flooded by the weirdly blue water. I walked out of the church and reached a big set of double glass doors where the water was already rising, threatening to burst the doors. "Guess I'll have to drown for this dream to end", was the last thought I had before waking up.
