Hi, Koir.
I have a question.
A dictionary online says that “I need to go” means “I need to go to a bathroom” so I didn’t write “to a bathroom” in the second sentence. It’s not “In the dream, I needed to go somewhere”. Should I have written “I needed to go to a bathroom”? I thought that would be too straight.
“My destination” means “a bathroom”.
“The door” means “a door of a bathroom.”
I didn’t escape the ship. I just tried to go to a bathroom.
My English must have been too poor to convey meanings.

Most of the revisions were to verb tenses, or changing verbs to more action-oriented ones ("stumbled" or "crawled" instead of walked).

Yes! They sound lively now. Thank you!

I tumbled down twice, and then I managed to touch the top of the stair steps. Except they had become a big vaulting box I had to clear.

The section about the vaulting box had its beginning changed. It was a continuation of the descriptions in the previous sentence that had to be separated to both read easier and provid dramatic impact.

I have one more question. I don’t see what “except” means here.
In the dream, the steps became a vaulting box suddenly.
Can “except” means “suddenly”?

Hope that helps, Yuri. And have a better rest tonight, hm?

Thanks, Koir.
