Tales of the Midnight Mall #3: A Dead Mall is Discovered

 I guess this is more like a tale of a dead mall. This dream takes place in an office space that I work at (not sure what kind job I have). It seems that the management figured out there must be a room behind a wall without any kind of access to it. So, a contractor is hired to knock out a hole in the wall, so we can see what's behind it.

I was sitting at my desk, doing my thing with the computer, when I heard the contractor call out, "Hey, everyone -- check this out!"

My co-workers and I gathered around the newly made hole, and we saw what had amazed the contractor. It wasn't a room at all, but space above a floor at least 2 stories down, which meant it was underground. But what we saw wasn't a basement but part of a dark shopping mall. An empty water fountain, and a dark store entrance with a sign reading "FLORSHEIM" in a mid-century-style font above it.

 Someone said, "Wow, I had no idea there used to be a mall here!"

Someone else said, "Let's go down there and chec it out."

Unfortunately, the dream ended there, so I don't know if we made it down.

Tales of the Midnight Mall #2: Underground Goth Mall

 Here's one ab a mall that could be considered a midnight mall. But befoe i continue, I need to give quick background about one actual mall north of Denver, Colorado, called Northglenn Mall. It was just one of these middle-sized malls built in late 1960's, basically an one-level place that ran a straight line from one anchor store to another. It was torn down in 1990's to make way for a non-descript area of big box stores. Anyway, I had dramed that Northglenn Mall hadn't been destroyed -- instead, it went underground literally. During daytime, the mall would be hidden, but in the middle of the night, the mall would come alive, and you would go downstairs to the mall (not sure how you accessed it from outside) and there it was, a long corridor of stores on both sides. But there's a twist -- the mall has also gone Goth. So, instead of family-friendly stores, you would have shops selling music, incenses, Goth / punk clothing, optical illusion posters and the like. And yes, you would see mostly high school and college kids, punks, people in period customes and so on. And maybe vampires, too. anyhow, it sounds like an awesome place to visit, ifyou don't mind getting up in the middle of night to go there.

Tales of the Midnight Mall #1: The Tackiest Male Strip Club Ever

 As mentioned in other posts, my dreams take place in all kinds of places such as amusement parks, houses, touristy towns, and lastly but not least, shopping malls. In fact, I seem to have so many dreams involving shopping malls. Fell free to analyze why that might be -- it could be just a symposom of American super-consumer culture. Anyway, here's my first post of "Tales of the Midnight Mall", that involves a really bad male stripper club in a mall.
