another dream

I was trapped in this woman's mind. I could see through her eyes, hear through her ears, feel what she felt, experience everything she did but without being able to control any of her actions. It was like i was an observer in her head. She was part of a human colony on a remote planet. It was night time. No lights anywhere, all the buildings were empty. Everywhere around her there were dead people. Dismembered bodies and blood all over the place. She was the last person alive. A monster had killed all the other inhabitants and now was after her. The dream starts as she was running from the monster outdoors. It was getting close but she managed to barricade herself in a bunker/hole. It was not too deep, narrow for only one person to fit at a time. It had a semi-circular metal hatch door on top with a small opening for seeing who is on the other side. At the bottom there was a sphere-shaped room, twice as wide as the hole itself. The woman was standing at the bottom, the room was empty with only a lit candle in it. It smelled like fresh dirt and it felt moist. She was scared but calm. As she closed the hatch door behind her when she got in, the monster said "I have all the time in the world, i will wait for you right here", and now was looking down the small opening in the hatch. After a while it started throwing chunks of people into the hole. She kept standing with her back to the wall, it was the only way the chunks wouldn't hit her... A couple of days passed and she died. Alone and afraid. I got to experience the entire thing as if i was her, yet as soon as she died my consciousness got transported into outer space, where i could see the planet, the colony, the hole and the candle, as if to sum it all up, as if to recap the whole story ...
