As you move down the dream-path, you see a gravestone and decide to get closer. The grave looks fancy, but something's not right. The name on it keeps changing as you read it. Sometimes it shows names of people you know are still alive; sometimes your name appears. Strange flowers grow around it. You can see a ghostly figure that appears and disappears. The whole place feels like it's stuck between life and death. Your gut tells you there's power here… but is it safe? What will you do?
