Dream Buildings

Had a very vivid dream where I had to navigate through an enormous building while wearing my face mask. I don't remember too much about it, but the visuals just made a strong impression on me. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a college building or something else, but I get the sense it was some sort of public building, so maybe. My dream architecture almost never resembles real places I've been, so it really went all out with size. I got the sense it was miles long, possibly with tunnels to other buildings. Despite my descriptor of vivid for this dream the only descriptions that come to mind are...grey walls...dim hallways...bright large multilevel rooms with carpet, with some people milling around...me having conversations (about what?) with people (to whom?)...me occassionally opening a door and seeing the forested green outdoors, only to immediately go back inside. So, I remember some aspects strongly, but I feel like I have trouble conveying the essence of it because I don't recall a narrative thread (if there even was one to begin with). It's just that the visuals in certain parts of my dreams sometimes feel sort of chiseled into my memory, hence why I may describe a dream as vivid but also not remember much about it.
I do know my subconscious loves making up buildings though. I had completely different buildings in yesterday's dreams and those I know *were* supposed to be college buildings, though they were instead tall towers shaped like human torsos or hands with amusement park rides inside them and there was no pandemic. Also that one I do remember the narrative thread of. I was a college student again in the dream and trying to pass a class but unable to find the classroom/remember to attend/do the work I needed to do to pass the class. This is an incredibly common dream for me, I guess because of my anxieties about being on time or getting things done, even though I don't generally fail to accomplish either of those things in real life.
