I tend to forget things. The only thing that keeps my memories alive is dreaming. During the day I listen to all that is said to me, but in the evening I already forget it. But when I fall asleep all that I learned that day tries to make it to the surface of my conciousness in some enigmatic form. I will tell you my dream. Could you remind me what I forgot about today? Otherwise someone will certainly be mad at me tomorrow.
My drawing skills are not that good, but I will try to draw you some outlines of my dream. To make sure you understand it see the description below:
The question is: Could you remind me what I forgot about today?
Credit (but also a hint):
This puzzle was inspired by (the mechanics of) this great puzzle by Ankoganit.
Answer
I followed the riddle about the dragon and got a result of
'drAgN' (capitalised parts were described as larger and the o is the crushed 'hole').
I used a
Vigenere shift with that as a key using the order of lowercase uppercase and numbers provided by @M Oehm commented on the other answer.
This led to the following page:

From there much of the labarynth is visible including the key
'd6AQ5'.
I then decrypted the door on the right at the start with that key and the key
('dream')
which I got from the hint that the key is
('what this is all about')
leading to a result of the page

From the clue
(about going to 'his or her door':)
We know
(that they forgot about going to visit someone.)
From the clues
(about the shape of the puzzle and about the watch being stuck at 5pm:)
We know
(that they forgot about having tea with someone because 5pm is tea time and the puzzle is in a 'T' shape.)
From the clues
(about it being somwhere 'near you and my ant':)
We can get the word
('aunt'(by adding 'u' to 'ant'))
Putting it all together, we can work out that they have forgotten about their plans to
have tea with their aunt.
