((I wrote what was asked for.  :P

Though frankly it's more of a energetic personality type. You just ran around while dragging some guy behind you for a good fifteen minutes because it was fun. I won't start throwing around WIFOM re: whether or not this has any basis in your real memories or personality, thankfully. That'd become annoying very soon.))

the whole "badass silent type" thing gets boring pretty fast actually, and it's impractical in a lot of situations. also, although descriptions weren't given at the time, we DID just tour a signifigant portion of the facility as a single action, which may be usefull later on in reconstructing a map.

try to remember, why is this familiar?

the shadows will assert themselves one way or another soon enough, lets see what we can learn before they get in the way.

Politely introduce yourself and your companion to the shadows and inquire as to their thoughts on the recent lecture on the influences that illusions and metaphysics have on each other.

This is a meaningful dream. Otherwise we'd be riding a rabbit through the Kepler belt. I'd suspect getting too zany will break us out of whatever thought track this is, and maybe even wake us up.

There is more than one way to skin a plot.

PTW and support the why this is familiar.

I bet it's because it's how the place 'sploded.

This all feels right, as if it were somehow inexorably linked to who you are, and for the life of you you can't figure out why. The shadows grow, swallowing up the edges of the room, swirling around until you stand in a tiny patch of light, peering down at one of the smaller tables. You kneel, resting on a cushion, when something catches your eye. It is a tiny shrine, barely the size of your hand, with a small depression in the center, a few stray leaves resting within. Slowly, as if in a trance, you reach out to flick a switch on the side. A single golden spark shoots from a slot in the side of the depression, catching the leaves. They burn slowly,  releasing a thick, pungent smoke.

The shadows have closed in, confining you, holding you in place. You sit for seconds-hours-days-years-forever, breathing deeply, your mind drifting free from your body, upward and outward. The vivid familiarity of this sensation gives way to another which is almost painfully close to your mind, an intense feeling of being pulled, pushed, sucked through a tiny hole, as if all of the universe was commanding you to be moved. The pain intensifies, a deep burning within your chest and head.

You wake, again, your mouth feeling as if you have had nothing to drink for a month. You shiver violently. Looking at your arm, the sickly coloring has faded away, and the gash has scabbed over. When you touch it with your good hand it still twinges with pain; you can't really tell if the fracture is any better. You can make out a hulking form standing over you, and a moment later the familiar form of Basin rises into your field of view. You are desperately thirsty.

Use plant magic if well enough. Eat the resulting plant, since plants usually have some water in them. Best to get water from the non-violence-created thing.

Check the zombie room, maybe they had supplies that they didn't need as zombies...

"Damn it captain, I'm losing her! She's slipping past us!" "Hold her steady! We must keep the dream going to learn more!" "...We've lost it. Damn."

I suspect we're not in an exploring state, seeing as we've still got a nasty arm & are both feverish and dehydrated.
Don't drink our friend!
Ideas:
-Use green magic to make a giant tap-root, rest a bit longer while it gathers water, (hopefully)
----I'd suspect any 'water' we'd get from a grown-from-nothing plant would be exceptionally viscous/sappy in concentration. The water has to come from somewhere.
-Have basin explore for us- he may be able to pick up water he comes across and bring it back to us.
-Piggyback on our armored rock golem
-Make sling for arm
-Loot zombies
