The Thing
In my dream last night I was in a building doing something when I suddenly needed to get away for some reason, so I jumped in the elevator. Every time the door opened though, I was confronted with two crazy guys throwing bombs down stairs that were right outside the elevator doors. I kept hitting the door close button and another floor. At some point the doors opened and one of the guys started splitting into tentacles and weird creature like things and the other dude started freaking out more. I knew instantly that it was the same virus-creature from John Carpenter's "The Thing". Movie synopsis at the link if you haven't seen it. It's an older movie so the special FX are pretty dated, but when I was a kid it scared the crap out of me.
I quickly slammed the elevator door close button and pushed the ground level button, I ran out of the elevator but the thing was blocking the door out. I ran but it caught up with me. It didn't immediately envelope me, though. Apparently, I was the last survivor and it wanted me to help it get away from where we were. (The movie takes place in an antarctic base, but I was in some kind of building.) I refused and tried to run again. As I ran through the corridors and by some cubes I saw a woman. I ran to her to tell her to run. She turned and smiled at me, then spoke with the voice of the thing. It told me it would stay in this form and I could have my "way" with it as long as I helped it get away. I looked around and realized I was actually in a building that was in the antarctic, just like the movie. (Clearly this was a multi story office type building in the beginning of the dream, but now it was the same research station from the movie.) "She" kept following me around making offers if I just help it. Every now and again "she" would sprout tentacles and grab at me, but it didn't invade my body.
I told it that I would rather freeze to death than help it. Which apparently I did. Last thing I remember is looking over my body and seeing it encased in ice. With a note on my chest warning about the thing.
