The Shrinking and Enlarging Portal

I was in a city surrounded by blocks of buildings. As if being pursued by someone, I made my way through some back alleys. It felt like a mix of Bangkok/Hong Kong with a bustling urban lowrise and streetside hawkers. While stumbling into the crowds, I stepped through some gateway. I'd become miniscule for that moment. 

The buildings remained the same size, as did the people around me, I avoided getting stepped on, trying to retrace my steps. It was a smooth transition, as I return to regular size, and continued to fumble through the busy crossroads. 

There were still people after me. As they spotted me and gave chase, I'd then yet again stepped into another doorway. But this time, I was the size of a skyscraper. As I appeared amongst the buildings, I took a step back, and recognised the gigantic shoe that I've been wearing. The traffic and people around me didn't react, but I was able to see my own foot, sticking out from clouds in the sky, from the perspective of a normal-sized man. 

I don't suppose it's an ouroboros kind of #dream that this was.
