Friends with Benjamin Linus

I think it started out that I was watching TV, and there was supposed to be a five minute segment about the show Lost and some behind the scenes footage and stuff. I got upset about something, and I think it had to do with that they were trying to say that part of the story was something that it wasn't. I was afraid of them misleading people, I think, and making people think that the show was dumb because of it. Then somehow along the way, it turned out the segment unexpectedly grew to a full 30 minute show or something.

While I was watching it, I think it changed slowly so that now I was part of the show, and it was no longer a segment about the actors or the show, but it was now supposed to be real, and I was part of the group that was stuck on the island.

There was a group of the Others there, and Benjamin Linus (their implied "leader" on the show) was there as well. I think they were trying to make us work and keep us imprisoned, like they do on the show, but they were allowing us more freedom in moving around. At one point I was going through what looked like a big stone temple with metal doors and stone columns lit by torches, and I think that I somehow suddenly realized what was going on. At first I was outraged at them for making us stay there and treating us like work horses or something.

I was then able to have some sort of conversation with Ben, and somehow during the course of it, we got to be friends. He was scared about his tumor, and I was trying to comfort him, and he wound up letting everyone go. I decided to hang around voluntarily for a while. At one point I passed by him in a narrow hallway, and as we passed, I turned and patted him on the back as a kind of assurance that everything was going to be alright.
