Dream about a town or city having a specific delusion and acting on it.

[AI_Messiah]

So, what happened is that someone created a chemical and it got into the water supply. It made people think that there were these creatures deep under the ground calling them and asking them to build things and send them down into the earth. People just got together things that had meaning to them, and they became energy beings. Somehow people from the surrounding communities helped them.
