I was in a house, standing at the entrance to a room. Not a door, just an open throughway between rooms. And as I'm standing there, I look down, and I notice cracks are starting to form in the floor right at the edge of the room, just past my feet.
The cracks propagate in two directions, to my left and to my right. They run along the floor, reach the walls, go up the walls, then cross the ceiling and meet again. The room moves away from me just slightly. I reach out with my foot and give it a gentle kick. The room drifts away about five feet. In the space between the rooms, I can see the void of space in all directions - stars and blackness above, below and beside me.
Then the room decelerates in its drift, then starts to move back toward where I'm standing. It accelerates as it gets closer and connects back with a thump. I swear and say: "Regravitating room!"
As soon as I say that, a bunch of metal tentacles burst out of the floor of the regravitating room and I have to fight them with a chainsaw.
There's a lady robot involved somehow. I think she helps fight the metal tentacles. There may be lasers involved.
In retrospect, the metal tentacles are not unlike something from John Carpenter's The Thing, except kind of a robot version.
