Immediately after I realized he pointed the gun straight at me, I started to run for safety. It was me there and it was for real.
It started when I suddenly I saw myself in the midst of a row of small houses. Not one was at least a two story house. All were small like the single room houses. It was dark as I slowly realized. One house to my left had some lighting.

I walked straight to find something or someone I was looking. Was I looking for some missing person? I couldn’t think about that as I felt as if I woke up in a different place. I was just wondering what all is happening here.
As I approached the end of the way, I could see two workers still repairing an old house. I couldn’t see anybody else. I didn’t get closer to them as they looked like ghosts at this hour. I wondered for a moment if they were really ghosts. They faces didn’t look natural. So I didn’t ask them anything out of fear.

I turned back and went through the same path I just walked. But as I walked, I was looking at the ground. Now that I saw these workers, I realized that the whole place was under repair. There were some tiles laid in arbitrary shapes but were abutted with cement. That looked wet giving sense of freshness. Suddenly I realized I was on the floor of a big building on the top of which small rooms were getting repaired. I was afraid to put legs on the tiles that were looking too wet for fear of falling down to the floor below. So I walked carefully.
I reached the end and took the right side. I saw another worker at the same house which I had seen last time was lighted. Then I realized somebody should be coming. I walked straight and saw one young man, I didn’t know, to the right, another old man who was tenant of the house standing before me.
Then I saw a woman suddenly appear from the dark and I felt she would go to this young man. But she came and just tied an orange color band on my right hand. She showed how to loosen it and tied it again.
