There's an impression of timespace crinkling and morphing, pulling away somehow in some non-timespacey way, to reveal...a different timespace. It seems to be a complete universe, but i can't really confirm that suspicion. Frantic noises and striking forms assault my senses. I'm completely disoriented, really scared. form starts organizing. Now i see there are people, they seem to be people. I'm apparently behind a crude chickenwire fence with some wooden framework, like something in the ozarks. I'm right by the fence, and on the other side is a dense group of people yelling and making noises and waving objects, shapes, at me. They seem to be jeering and teasing me. I get the impression that it's like "ha! look! it's another one of those tourists! Let's scare him!"
I see more detail. I'm inside some kind of small building, like a shack. On the other side of the fence, beyond the people, are two open doorways onto what looks like a dirt road. My impression is that this is some kind of streetside shop. The noise is continuous and disorienting. Then i notice that one of the people is on *my* side of the fence. He's telling me, nonvocally, that they're not trying to scare me; they're trying to show me things. He slows down his presentation, showing these unknown shape-objects in less rapid succession. They make just as little sense to me as they did otherwise. I catch a glimpse of what i think is frustration on his part; like he's disappointed at my inability to calm down and try to understand. Beside him there seems to be a makeshift gate thru the chickenwire and toward the jabbering crowd. Behind him is a door, which he may be edging toward...
...then i started reintegrating and slipping back to the old familiar home spacetime.
