I want to tell you about a dream I had last night, and then you’ll rate it.
​
The dream was about me playing a video game where you play as a little boy trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, a cult, madness, dinosaurs, and giant spiders. It was a survival game similar to Dying Light or The Forest, but with PS1-style graphics.
At the beginning, we see a family driving a car: mother, father, sister, little sister (a toddler), a dog, and our main character (the boy). They stop somewhere in a field/forest (some middle of nowhere place). The main character goes off with the dog and the little sister, where they encounter a T-Rex or some other dinosaur. We try to hide from it in the bushes while the injured dog is forced to be eaten. From the boy’s perspective, we watch this terrifying scene.
I want to mention at this point that the T-Rex and the spider kept switching places quite regularly, but I didn’t realize it at the time. It was a weird effect where when I saw the dinosaur I forgot about the spider, and when I saw the spider I forgot about the dinosaur. But I remember treating the two entities as one single being (it’s a dream, so I didn’t notice it, dream logic).
We return to the car and the parents, escape the forest, and head to the city. The city wasn’t small — it was more like a small metropolis full of zombies and a cult of survivors who worshipped the spider/T-Rex, which was actually a manifestation of some demon. If you looked inside it, you could see bones covered with stretched, living fleshy skin.
(The part here is the most vague.)
The cult worshipped the Spider-Rex through regular sacrifices, and the bastards managed to sacrifice… someone. I don’t know who, but let’s assume it was the little sister or another character.
The gameplay consisted of gathering materials, crafting items, building vehicles and shelters, and of course fighting zombies and cultists, while hiding from the spider/rex (because you could only fight it using vehicles, or run and hide if you didn’t have one. Even if you had a vehicle and killed it, it would come back after some time).
At some point the cult became gentler towards us, but not for good reasons — it was because the Mother and Father had been broken and had given themselves to the demon. They even sacrificed the little sister to the rex/spider.
After that, our main character leaves his family and goes to a place that even the cult doesn’t visit because it’s completely overrun with zombies.
(My memories are clearer again here.)
I completely forgot what happened between the son leaving and what I’m about to tell you, but the ending was an ultimate boss fight. At the beginning I see myself checking my inventory in the cabinets in my mini base when I hear a signal that it’s time for the fight. So I get into a FUCKING helicopter that I don’t remember building, but I somehow just know I built it. Instead of hordes of tamed zombies and cultists with their leaders, I only see two enemies: the T-Rex and the father, who (I don’t know how I knew this, but I just knew) had sacrificed the mother and at the same time had become possessed by the entity itself.
From the helicopter I easily killed the Rex with the machine gun mounted on it. But after I defeated the Rex, the father got some kind of power-up and started attacking me much more effectively. I don’t feel like describing exactly how that fight looked — it’s enough to say it was a typical boss fight like in Devil May Cry. I ultimately defeated the father and felt satisfaction from it right before waking up.
