Alien assault

In my dream last night, I was in the research center from Alien Ressurection. I entered the chamber where the aliens first escaped by killing one of their own in the movie just after that occurrence. I looked around out the window which was now broken and saw some of the aliens still moving around outside freeing their brethren.

I jumped out the window and climbed a ledge to a door. Once through the door I was in a hallway and I started to look around for a place to hide when I realized that anywhere a person would want to hide would be right where the aliens were hunting. I jumped up grabbed two pipes and started to swing myself up but couldn't make it, so I dropped back down and went out another door and found myself in a long dark hallway that was huge. The ceiling was at least 25 feet high and the width about 15 feet.
I was with others though. One guy was freezing the aliens as they came at us and I was shooting fire at them causing them to break from the massive temperature change. Well, it was more like shooting intense heat that sometimes was accompanied by fire. A third person was tackling the semi frozen aliens that didn't immediately break. Apparently, the ice-fire combination somehow neutralized their acid blood.

We were holding the fort at this hall because we knew it was the only way the aliens could get out. We kept finding other people to rescue as we did this. After the aliens started showing up less and less frequently, we decided to regroup right outside the hallway.

Once I left and looked back at the "hallway" I realized it was a giant tent thing. We were outside in the broad daylight with a bunch of people we rescued. We checked on a few of them and decided the only way to finish off the aliens was to go back in and slowly torch the entire tent while they were trapped inside. I looked around for a weapon but only found a wicked looking dual bladed knife. Some big dude said we should just torch the whole thing, so he and I got in a fight that ended with me holding the serrated edge of the knife to his neck and telling him if he wanted to be a coward and run that was fine, but we would do the right thing.

So we went back in. I used my right hand to toss heat and fire at the aliens and the tent behind us so that it burned as we moved forward making sure nothing got past. The frost guy and the pummeling girl went with me. She asked how we were going to burn it down so I torched a bed near the entrance and we watched as the fire built up for a second. And it became clear that if we didn't do our best we weren't going to make it. So we started moving forward as more aliens started coming at us. One of the aliens had a very human shaped skull, but was still the same black shiny color of other aliens, but it refused to freeze, so the pummeling girl jumped on its back and started beating it while I stabbed it with the knife, unfortunately, this also meant that sever small scorpion like aliens were starting to defrost, so I grabbed a metal pole and started smashing them while pummeling girl finished off the human skull alien. They all bled thick blue blood.

As we continued forward burning the path behind us we found a bed with someone hiding under it so we took them with us. After turning the corner past the bed the tent disappeared and became a paved road running through a huge grassy field. But we all acted like this was just fine and kept going forward toward a city like thing in the distance.

I vaguely recall at one point turning around and thinking we couldn't go further or something. But the rest is too fuzzy.

The knife looked something like this:

The blade was blackened and about 12 inches long and the handle was a neat looking cross hatch with leather. The hilt was a round black metal with a finger grip. The blade was razor sharp on one side and nastily serrated on the other and could lock in 2 positions: straight out and at a slight angle towards the finger grip.

Finals! Argh

In my dream last night I was running late to get to the final exam in one of my college classes. By the time I found the right room I was already several minutes late. The class was apparently a geography class, but the final was not in the normal classroom, it was in what looked like a shop classroom. There were only a few desks and some students were using various shop machines to do their exam. I was forced to work on a lathe.

The test was an open write test with only one question:
Using what we've learned in class describe an island.

I suddenly had massive writer's block. I couldn't recall any terms from the class (which makes sense from a real life perspective since it's been ages since I took any kind of geography class) and I couldn't even get a feel for where to start.
I stared at the blank page on my paper for sometime before the instructor came over and asked what were the papers under my lined paper. I hadn't even realized they were there.

One of the papers was something that looked like a typed out version of this test. It started with someone describing the weather of the island, but had blank spots with lines under them like a fill in the blank test. The name on top of the page was something like Truong Dang (it's starting to fade now).
The instructor told me no notes and if it was anyone else he'd have failed me as I tried to explain that I hadn't seen those papers and they must have been left on the "desk" from a previous class.

I then went back to work but my paper had shrunk to only about 3 inches square and was now covered with random pen scribblings I had jotted down. I asked if anyone had some extra paper I could use. After a few minutes finally two people each handed me a sheet but I was still drawing a blank on getting any good details. I tried to recall what little I'd seen typed on the other paper and started randomly putting more ideas on the new paper.

I vaguely recall looking out and see the last rays of light in the hills through the open door. Something about a motorcycle and my pen getting jammed up on the grooves of the lathe.

Quake!

In my dream last night I was playing world of warcraft at work with some buddies that in real life I play WoW with every Monday night. We were doing some weird version of BRD that had a very diabloesque look to it. I was trying to keep playing but I had a bunch of work to do, so I finally told them I'd have to log off.

When I got home from work, I found that there was a Warcraft Xpack Release party going on 2 doors down from my apartment (haven't lived in an apartment in years now...), so I looked in to it and saw they had a bunch of copies of the game for sale. I left to get to my place and figured I'd go back a little later and pick up a copy.

I never made it back. As I was standing in my apartment telling my wife about the party there was an earthquake and our apartment fell into the one below it. I had to remove some of the rubble of my son, Sami, to get him out of the apartment. Nobody was hurt but our place was totally destroyed.

The rest is kinda vague, but I remember being on the sidewalk in front of the place with everyone and my mother in law was there and it was light out.

Angela Lansbury: Mistress of Terror!

So last night in my dream Angela Lansbury drove up to me in her limo and informed me that I had to do a "project" for her. For some reason I knew there was no way I could just say no to it, so I started working on sabotaging it. The first thing I did was call the airline in with a bomb threat and my description.

When I got to the airline, the clerk behind the desk started acting a little funny and then finally security came and escorted me away. But the security guy didn't stop in the airport, he took me to a little diner just outside it and sat me at a table with Angela Lansbury. She said "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?"

Shortly after I sat down, three of my friends were also escorted to the table (nobody I know in real life, but I somehow knew they were my friends). Our waiter came by and it was somebody we knew (also not anyone from real life), but she shooed him away. As soon as he turned his back she injected him with to huge syringes in his head and he fell to the ground. We stared at her, aghast.

She then proceeded to stick him with a dozen or so other needles and remove his blood. Then she stood at the end of the diner's counter and we watched as the needles magically floated across the counter and injected his blood into her as she smiled devilishly at us and told us to do our tasks.

Then I woke up.

Terror

Last night I had a dream that this kids was chatting with Iraqi kids and they wanted him to come over there and meet them. The kid's parents wouldn't let him, so he sneaked away and went anyway. He brought his video games with him.

Then a video hit the news (or something, I was watching an unedited version) with the kid talking to the camera to his parents. He was walking around in something that looked like an old church talking about how much fun he'd had with these kids playing his video games and whatnot. As he walked and talked the Iraqi kids in the background pulled out razors (the old single blade folding kind) and walked up to the kid. They then slashed him and the kid was startled and asked them why the were doing this.

One slash went right across his lower back and he fell over onto a pew and just moaned for few seconds asking "why?".

At this point my dream ended.

Invasion

Last night in my dream I was standing outside of a building next to a food cart (might have a been a hotdog stand) when I looked up and saw a shooting star. As i watched it got bigger and bigger until it looked like it fell right behind the hill in front of me. A lot of people ran over the hill to get a better look. As I stood there watching, a huge metallic creature came over the hill. It was some kind of vessel and it was shaped kind of like a mechanical snake. It's huge arrow shaped head had a single red "eye" on the top and it started shooting at us. I quickly tried to duck under the cart to find out there was no room under, so I jumped behind it then behind a parked car.

From behind the parked car I was able to find out there was another snake ship by the building. It was dropping strange electrified pod from part of it's body. I decided I didn't want to find out what the pods did so I ran towards the building, but there were to pods already inspecting the doors so I veered towards the hill since the snake thing was in the way the other direction.

Before the hill was another building (I don't recall there being two buildings in the beginning of the dream, but such are my dreams. :P ) The doors of this building were locked. I had to break the door to get in. I noticed the doors were all starting to shut like an alarm had gone off and this was the security protocol. I looked back and saw one of the electrified pods just outside and watched as it dropped several screw shaped pods. A couple of the screw pods started scooting on the ground straight at me. I ran into the main part of the building and past a bunch of cubes trying to lose the screw pods.

Most of the people in the cubes didn't notice me, but they did notice the floating screw pods and started to panic. I found the emergency stairs and started going up stairs. At some point, I changed perspectives and I was in the body of some guy who knew the aliens were coming somehow. He was at the very top of the stairs and had a pod chasing him. He ran into this break room and shut the door. In the room was a person talking to the aliens and a couple more screw pods. There was a conversation or an argument between him and the other person when the screw pod chasing him finally broke the door and flew at him, but he dodged it and it slammed into the window. The window shattered and it became a wind tunnel, like they were in outer space, but they weren't. The other two pods and the traitor person flew out the window. The guy's whose perspective I'd changed to grabbed onto things and sat down once the pressure equalized. I think it felt he'd found a good hiding place.

Then I was back in my body. I'd ditched the stairs and was hiding on top of a big arch like structure that was in the main lobby of this building. It was about 20 feet tall and had a small flat roof so I was pressed down against it to hide from the pandemonium just below me. At some point I vaguely recall the room being cleared out so I jumped down and started running again or something.

Shortly there after I woke up.
