Yay I finally did it! Even if I didn’t take anything back from the place I got into

A little exploration - 7:00 - 8:00 left-side
The dream memory is quite fuzzy in its beginnings, I won’t remember that part clearly in the dream itself. I am helping my bro clear out some levels of a game, that involves various rooms to clear. I remember having done several already, which I breeze through because I did them all already. In particular, I remember of a nice little room with a ghost that kept me entertained while my bro finished the job.
We’re now going to the next one. We are in the stairways of an old apartment, a portal is open in front of us. A rack of ivy and red roses stands on my right. There is no roof, and I see a red, cloudy sky in the distance. We enter the level, and I immediately recognize the apartment we got in. Nice cream-coloured walls, some little pieces of furniture, and a giant abacus-like statue, with pieces in shape of a Asteroid ship, of many colours, that are supposed to be rotated in order to solve the puzzle. I want to meet the ghost again, so I enter his room, to find this time he’s missing, and that makes me instantly lucid. I try, but can’t remember what happened in the dream before entering this level. I explore the room a bit, thinking it is really L, my bro, who is keeping the dream intact (if you remember,I dreamt of this idea a while ago), and it works! The dream is almost stable, a little touch here and there stabilizes it completely. I also enjoy touching all kind of things, from the simple roughness of the walls, to plushes, to furniture. I walk outside the room, feeling the plaster with my fingers, and I end up in a new room, and exposition one, where a piece is a wooden piano, with only 20 keys or so. I try to play a piece, but only the C key plays, and with delay. (rusted piano skills much? ) I go about and feel the pointy spikes of some strange statue, made of just vertical, pointy wires. There are 7 or so of these in the room. I get back in the corridor, thinking of summoning my SC for some reason. I see myself on the other side of the hall, but it’s just several mirrors. I have a different sweater each time I look into a different mirror. I ask him to show up, but I only end up seeing another myself, this time with the colours of the jeans and the green sweater, only switched. I wonder what that means, it seems important. L goes by, and I’d join him, but I want to find out, so I approach the mirror and resolve to discover the meaning as I dip into…
A dim darkness comes, and I float in the Void. A scene appears after a while, I’m looking at a screen interface; a sideshow describes how the message in music gets conveyed only by words (I know, but tell that to my SC ), and some graphs and pies appear, as well as some vague scenes of Shibuya-like (from The World ends with You) streets. Then, in the back seat of a car, inside a black void; an ordinary, blue car, with a screen in front, where the driver reads an English phrase that uses a Latin word in order to get a joke across. It has to do with rhyming, and in the following scene, he would wake up with plenty of rhyming English words in his head that he would write down. I only remember plenty of O’s in that text. Then, a giant cave scape, dark yet visible, with a plank alongside a slope where I am, and in front of me (I’m going DO in the process), a giant, conic, dark-red construction, looks like the wall of a floating castle. I fear I won’t be able to render a thing that big, and I awake in my room, same as always, L and my mother are in there, we have a little chat, and watch an ad of slow and fast flowing olive oil. They are springing from a giant square hole in the factory, and they’re actually the pomace remains, but I don’t tell them. The scene develops into a waterfall, where the pomace is being thrown in the middle of the fall, and there is a buttload of squirrels descending the stream to drink from the enriched water. Even more are on the end of the fall. The alarm wakes me up.[/spoiler]
EDIT: A little better attempt at the Quest here
