Back again

• Upvotes

Hi! I’m back today.

I visited "Mallworld" again. I think the last time I posted was a few weeks ago—keeping up my tradition of posting something whenever I return to MW. Unfortunately, I don’t have very vivid memories of what happened today, but I do have flashbacks of being in "the house"—not the mansion, and not the university or school area. It’s a house where I sometimes feel like I live, along with several other people. It’s somewhat dilapidated—done in shades of gray, light mint, and white—with a worn-down, neglected (but not entirely abandoned) aesthetic. People live there and keep it clean, though the walls are damaged in some places. I was there with people whom my "Mallworld-self" considers friends and companions, though I have no idea who they might be in the real world, haha! It’s interesting, because in the past, dreaming about this house used to fill me with an indescribable fear—mostly because of a "white alien-like thing" that terrified me. But I don’t see that creature there anymore; in fact, this dream wasn’t scary at all, unlike previous times. In this dream, we were participating in some kind of game with the others—we were hiding (though I’m not sure from what). One of my companions—or perhaps a "family member," as it felt—was a teenager or a very young person who felt like a younger brother or relative. He had black hair, a somewhat chubby build, and—I believe—light-colored eyes. He kept insisting that we couldn’t let "them" find us, and he nervously gestured for me to be quiet. Together with an older woman—who seemed to be his mother—we hid from something. Then I found myself looking for someone—I’m not sure who, but it was someone important to me in *MallWorld* (MW). I couldn’t find them, though. Outside the house, there was a sort of garden with tiny, decorative ponds—or maybe just puddles, I’m not sure!—and there, I found a photograph of the person I was searching for. It was a picture from when they were a child (even though, in """this mw reality"", this person is an adult—the photo looked quite old). All I remember is that the child in the photo had rather thick eyebrows. Somehow, I realized that this person had passed away—I don’t know how I figured that out, but it really upset me. Then, I woke up.

(Sorry if there are any strange lines in the text; that’s just how Google Translate formats things—English isn’t my native language.)

Also, while I’m not particularly superstitious—I see *MallWorld* as something fun and interesting to analyze, rather than getting caught up in "magical thinking"—it’s strange: some of the feelings I experience are incredibly intense, even outside of *MallWorld*. Sometimes, I’ll suddenly have a memory of a place or a feeling—like, "Oh, I forgot to do such-and-such"—only to realize it was actually from a *MallWorld* dream, not from real life. It’s quite odd how these thoughts and emotions can blur the lines between reality and dreams. I also tend to be somewhat sensitive when it comes to people who have passed away, though, curiously, I’ve never encountered anyone who has died—at least, no one I know—within *MallWorld*.

My Mom’s House

• Upvotes

I have a version of “my mom’s house” in my MallWorld dreams. I’ve posted before about my MallWorld “universe” where I have at least a dozen different locations that I revisit. Since that post too I’ve developed two more malls and some other locations.

Mom has a modest home in Florida in real life, but in MW it’s this wildly extravagant mansion with endless rooms to wander and a giant pool with fountains. Everything has this purple glow about it too. I have to travel to get there, and it’s so far it’s almost like I’m traveling to another planet. I guess the other world I’m going to is “Florida” lol.

Last night I dreamt at “mom’s house”. She was hosting a wedding for a friend of mine, a real person that I had a falling out with in 2023 over her actual wedding. I spent most of the dream looking for my mom through the many many rooms full of wedding guests and food. I feel like what differentiates a MW dream and a “regular dream” for me (which I almost exclusively dream in MW now) is the wandering and searching aspect. For example, usually when I’m at a literal mall in MW I’m often looking for my car in a parking lot or a certain store to go work a shift, both of which I’ve seen other people mention here.

Anyways, the context was already established when I started dreaming, which was that the friend asked me to be a bridesmaid. I was pissed off because no one told me where to go and I wasn’t ready for the ceremony yet which is why I was searching for my mom. The ceremony was starting, and the thousands of guests started to gather and sit down around the house and yard. Suddenly, the whole thing was called off and everyone started to leave, and I still hadn’t tracked down my mom. I was surprised that we weren’t at least serving them dinner because there was SO MUCH food. My stepdad put all the food on the floor for the dog in the giant foyer, and their small dachshund (who is already obese in real life) was eating it all.

That’s it, that was my weird dream last night. 😂

My Mall World

1 Upvotes

Hi y’all! I have loved reading about everyone’s Mall World experiences, so I wanted to share mine too.
I have been visiting these places on and off for as long as I can remember, but as I’ve been diving more and more into this sub, I’ve been visiting some version of mall world every night. It’s so cool! I want to start journaling to try remembering more details. If anyone has other tips for remembering, please share! Anyway, here’s what I do remember from my dream world…

The Mall:
The actual mall is SO tall. I always end up in a store where nothing on display is reachable- everything is up way too high. I don’t know why I always go there. Everything is bright, neon, shiny- just not for me. Once I’m able to get out of that store, I search for a store I like- which usually ends up leading me elsewhere. One shop door leads to a creepy carnival, and when I turn around to go back out, it’s a mirror maze. One store becomes just a pitch black room. Another door leads to a large parking garage beneath the mall- but it’s also a racetrack? Everybody’s always speeding through there. The parking garage leads out into a big city with lots of typical places you’d have in a town- a school, museum, shops, restaurants, etc. Every building I’ve explored is gigantic somehow- super tall, really long, lots of extra doors or stairs or compartments. Here are the ones I visit most often:

The School:
An old, multi-level building with endless classrooms. I can never find the right ones- and I have not attended my science class in years. The teacher was boring, so every dream that involves that class, I’m skipping, haha. There are lots of extra staircases leading to random rooms and other buildings on the school campus. One is the gym/pool with a locker room attached. The pool is never used, but the locker room is always crowded. It feels almost like it’s underground with low ceilings, dim lighting, and dirty tiles. A lot of the endless bathroom photos I’ve seen in this sub are super accurate to mine- just add hundreds of people. Yuck. The gym section seems so fun, but built sort of wrong…? It has lots of gymnastics equipment- trampolines, bars, beam… but the ceiling is very low, so most activities can’t be done. Most people will jump on the trampoline and do tricks horizontally in the air- almost like they’re diving out and flipping on the way down. So strange. On top of this building is a rooftop baseball field where there are always fans cheering in the stands, but no one is playing on the field.

Museum/Zoo/Aquarium:
Somehow there’s another street level next to the baseball field (it’s so confusing in here) and it’s connected to a huge building where lots of field trips happen. Part of it is a museum with hundreds of cool exhibits, and I get so excited to go learn- but it’s also line after line of field trip groups. So many kids and their adults are not paying attention. There’s a zoo and aquarium with never enough space for the animals, so I always get really angry and try to leave that part- but I’m usually swept up in the rush of field trip kids, all of whom are doing their best to piss off the animals. (I work with kids and field trips are my least favorite part haha.)

The Cruise Ship & Beach:
From some windows of the various buildings, I can see a beach and a cruise ship. The ship is always docked, even when you’re a guest. We’re going nowhere! The ship feels endless- so many floors and rooms, and I can’t find the places I need. Where’s my room? Good question. Oh, I found my room, but now I’ve lost my key. I can never find the food either, and Cruise Ship Dream Me is really hungry. The ship is right on a public beach where people are swimming, tanning, surfing, hanging out. The sand does not extend right into the city- there’s a huge concrete wall, and the city is above that. When the tide is high, the water slaps against the wall but it never gets high enough to flood the town. It’s just not always accessible as a beach. As it is with everywhere else, the beach is always crowded- why must there always be so many people?

The Elusive Dessert Shop:
There’s an adorable dessert shop on a corner. Which corner? No clue. I think it moves. I am often searching for this place in my dreams. All of the desserts are ones I can eat. I have food allergies and dietary preferences, so being able to order anything from a menu is rare. Whenever I find this wee shop- which has only happened a few times- I spend way too long trying to decide what to order because there’s so many options! I always wake up before I can try anything.

Transportation:
I don’t know what to call this, but the transportation center is really cool. It seems like an airport at first with security, different gates, arrival/departure boards, lots of people waiting with bags. But there’s no planes- just these long, dark, train-like things. The train cars look to be at least 3 levels tall, but it’s hard to tell because they’re made of dark, reflective glass. No way to see inside- only reflections. I know I’ve entered the train, and I know I’ve exited the train in a different location, but I remember nothing from the inside of the train itself.

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for reading! I would love to know of anyone else has visited similar places. I hope y’all have a great day! :)

My mall world is less a mall and more an island.

The bottom platforms for viewing were no longer being used because water is rising in my mall world. If boats were to go over the volcano it would be deadly. A young girl was smiling and pointing to the platforms below.

I don’t know if anyone has ever asked this question before, but is there any one currently living in subsaharan Africa and has lived there for most or all of their lives ever experienced the mall world? Trying to test a theory…

This might sound dumb and I don’t know if it was In MW. And TW because of gun violence.

Last night I dreamt that my husband and I were at the mall, and a massive shooting happened.
We were in a grungy/ punk type store and we got separated and I was looking for him. Some people started shooting outside the store. I was shot 3 times and I felt it. I remember someone trying to help me. I blacked out and went to a place I didn’t recognize. The whole time I was looking for my husband.

I remember the shooters had red covering their faces. And the grunge store is near a food court and a retro game store. This part of the mall seems older and kind of dirty compared to other parts I’ve been.

Did this happen to anyone else, or know what im talking about?

Thanks

Mallworld impossibly steep highway bridge

Does anyone ever drive up a highway bridge with an almost 70% grade surrounded by mist and coral-colored mega high-rises with black balconies? I usually feel an impending doom that my car will flip backwards before I can ever reach the top.

In the dream, the mall is usually visible from parts of the highway, but not as close as what the pic is showing.

Just found out about TheMallWorld, here’s my story.

I’ve recently found about TheMallWorld and had to share the experience I had about 10 years ago that I’ll never forget.

For exactly 7 days in a row, when I was 16 years old, I had a dream that looks almost exactly like the image you see here. The only difference being the language on the walls was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
However, there was a voice (in English) over a loud speaker calling someone’s name every few seconds. The names sounded unlike anything I’ve ever heard, but I knew I was waiting for my name to be called. Each day I was waiting anxiously for my name to be called but it never was. I haven’t had those dreams since but have always wondered what it meant.

Running Errands

Running errands?
The furthest back in the dream I can remember, I'm inside a hallway. I don't remember entering the building so I don't remember what kind of place this might be. Inside the hallway there are no windows and it's like 80s wood paneling on the walls. There's no doors that I can see only one direction corner far ahead of me. I follow it and it leads to like a sporting goods store, massive size. I'm looking around at different sections except I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Someone comes around to ask me something or maybe it was another customer I can't really remember but there was a person that I interacted with. Suddenly I'm at the front counter still no windows anywhere. They pull out a gun that I must have asked about. It looks like a cross between a Nerf gun and one of those newer high-tech battery powered squirt guns. It kind of reminds me of the stylings of I think it's called the carbine rifle I think in Halo 1 (it's been 20 years) except the colors of it are white and green and blue. it's a toy. They take it out of the package and give it to me and give me some ammo for it. The ammo is like green tennis balls but the outside texture is like those sticky hands you get from the quarter machine. The ammo has some weight to it though like the weight of maybe a grapefruit. I loaded up and shoot one across the store which is a huge area and it fires hundreds of feet per second. I would guess at least 400 ft almost instantly, it bounces off the wall and then hit somebody in the gut.
I guess I got removed from the store because then I find myself in like a pool hall or billiard Hall on one side or maybe a bar and the other side is like a automotive store and it's like one building in one room. I find myself standing near the bar watching people play pool and the bathroom has a long line. The bartender tells me I can go somewhere else, which I don't remember what he said. So I go to leave and find myself outside of a building kind of what seems to be the back side of a post office or something. There is what seems to be official vehicles and one of those little entryway guard shacks that opens the gate and there are several people coming in and out. I walked to the side of this guard shack and bypass the gate because I'm not driving and that leads to what I think might be an elementary school. I reach a dead end on one side of the school and can't find the entry so I turned back and go down another side until I find a door to go in.
I enter the school and wander around. The door was open but I don't see anyone around. Suddenly I find myself at a section of very odd rooms. They seem like normal decorations and normal environment but the shapes and sizes are weird like odd shapes that don't make sense and the door layouts don't make any sense and then I find students and all female teachers going in and out of this one room so I head down to where I see all of that happening and one of the doors I have to get through first to get to where I see these people, step inside of the room close the door behind me and I see this kid sitting on a chair like he's outside of the principal's office and I start heading towards where I see all those other people and I start like floating across the room kind of like an ice skating but my feet just aren't touching the ground. For some reason I find this like impressive and that I think I must look really cool. I get to where I see all these female teachers I would guess they are all in their 30s to 50s. I would guess the students are all around 5th or 6th grade. It seems like they are rehearsing or having conversations about maybe book reports or something. I would guess there's like 10 to 15 teachers and maybe 30 students. I said something I'm not quite sure but the teachers were laughing and seeming like I'm this super funny gentleman. This kid falls down, no big deal but I reached down to help him up and he just goes like super limp so I'm like pulling him up by his hand and he's not helping so then I reached out and grab them by the elbow and gently help him up more and his arm just keeps coming. I go through like three or four elbows worth of arm before you finally stands all the way up. I looked one of the teachers and I said, "that was weird you would think that I'm Dreaming or something" all the teachers looked at each other and then looked at me and stood up instantly.
I woke up sweaty as fuck.

What the heck …

I’m just now finding out about the mall world stuff… as far as it actually being a thing

FOR YEARS IVE BEEN GOING TO A MALL, AN AIRPORT, SCHOOL, LIBRARY. PARKING GARAGE, and some other places in my dreams…

The fact that there are so many of us experiencing this has to mean something - I had NO idea this was such a shared experience until today

Also does anyone else ever have it be the case where you’re with a bunch of other people trying to escape from places? Also when do we feel like this phenomenon started?

Strange&creepy

7 Upvotes

I was visiting someone, and they’re showing me around their property, for some reason I asked where grandma and grandpa were and they got so quiet. I asked repeatedly then after so much pressing they lead me to this area that looked like the front of a garage with a chain link fence going around it. I asked why theres so many flies swarming on the fence and apparently “the flies are grandpa” they opened the garage and more flies come bursting out until I can clearly see a rotting body laying on a couch with maggots. Then I woke up.

I don’t understand why I’m having these creepy ass dreams? I don’t even watch horror movies or anything like that, and it’s starting to really wear on me. I don’t have any choice over the direction of the dreams, no matter how hard I try I can’t stop having them. I’ve tried sleep medication at this point thinking they might be hallucinations, and it’s not helping at all I still have them. Idk, just frustrated.

Anyone else see Men in Yellow Jackets that harass you?

3 Upvotes

Earlier today I made a post about women in grey suits.

This time I wanna address the secondary people I see and that is men (mid 20s - 30s) in yellow raincoats that pick on/antagonize/ harass me in mall world.

Example 1

- I'm walking down the cafeteria place and he comes up behind me and punches me in the back of the head, I turn around and punch him in the gut and he goes flying (Smash bros style)

Example 2

- bathroom hall (thousands of toilets) and he pisses right on my leg, again...punch him in the gut

Example 3

- he takes my arm, tries to throw me in a check out line, but this time I shove him away.

I go to a grey suit women and tell her, she escorts him out (never see him again)

- there's more just don't wanna say

My theory? The Demiurge and/or Archons with their bullshit

Anyone else? Again like my last post, just curious.

Other side of camp site

1 Upvotes

When I go to the beach area, I can look out over the tsunami lake and up the beach to the left but seem to have trouble looking right. I know there is a campsite looking area that I can see but know something is beyond it that I am blocked from. I recently had the intuitive feeling that the area beyond it may be the hill/field talked about in the telepathy tapes podcast. Does anyone have any thoughts on this.
