I was a human who knew about a plot by a bunch of human looking aliens to take over. Me and my friends had been at this for a while, and we had all been changed in some way. The young man I was friends with, he had been turned by friendly aliens into someone who could switch his own form between the two species, while the real aliens had to just cover themselves with our skin. Yes, this is completely based on that V TV show. I haven't been able to watch it this season, and I guess I want to know what happens, so I'm making it up myself in my dreams. But the characters are all different and the aliens are different and there is a small third set of alien that looks like it's more from Stargate Universe than V.
Anyway, I seemed to have turned into someone who could know what was going on, figure out all of the plans, be prepared for the next bit.
The part of their plan to take over that we were at at this point was when they blinded everyone. They had a gigantic bright light in the sky, some sort of non-destructive explosion or something, that was so bright it destroyed the eyes of everyone. I knew about it, and I was able to close and cover my eyes and hide them into the ground. Even then I could still see light through my hands and eyes, and everything still seemed dark at first right after, but at the least I didn't go blind and my eyes recovered. I had another person with me who also was able to save their eyesight.
The friend who could change form was up on a spaceship at the beginning with a set of good aliens on another ship who wanted to help us. He didn't choose to be able to change form. He somehow accidentally got injected with something or some of their blood or a germ or something. But he could control it mostly and it was useful, so yeah. When he was around aliens in their own natural form, he automatically changed and was unable to control it. If only humans, he also changed to human and couldn't control it. Kind of chameleon-esque. I don't know if it was him or a girl who saved her eyesight along with me.
We were in some downtown-esque city again, I almost got pulled over by an undercover cop. But for some reason he turned the other way after I pulled off.
After I and I think this other girl, after we were the only two humans that could still see, the aliens just started assuming that we were aliens as well. They did plan to have another light flash at an unexpected time just to get rid of people like me. But I knew about it and with my ability to know what would happen, I would know when it happened. I planned to be inside this time, it would be easier. Down in a basement with no windows.
So I decided to go home. I was at our neighbor's house across the street, hiding out in the garage. There were these small cute alien looking aliens who were playing some kind of seemingly pointless game from some gel-like balls they had. I don't know if they could intelligently help us fight, or not. But it was their presence that made me have my strange insight into all that was happening and who everyone really was, human or alien.
So I ran home across the street, pretending to be an alien to all the aliens I met on the way. I jumped high over the sideway and was going to do some fancy jump, but ended up only doing a tuck jump because I thought people might be watching me. I landed on my feet and quickly fell, laughing at myself. Random bit of the dream. One of the stronger images I remember.
Goodness. It's like TV dream. Next dream to play in was Caprica. In Caprica, I didn't watch much of it, but I know there was this 'family' that had multiple husbands and multiple wives. I went to a home in my own dream that had that type of family. One of the wives was an alien from the bad side. She was a very pretty petite wavy curly haired young woman, very pretty and very gentle. She ended up being very devoted to this family and had changed sides to human. I was still a bit worried about her, but not badly.
I was preparing for the next flash when the dream ended. Two more flashes and they'd assume anyone able to see would be alien. They'd be able to take over our planet. And I and my two friends would continue to fight them.
At some point I also had a dream about shopping in a grocery store. There is a popular grocery chain around here, and they've been upgrading their stores the last few years. This one was by my house, and they'd upgraded it. The vegetables figured prominently in the store... I like shopping for veggies. And my debit card wasn't working very well, kind of bent and cracking. But it worked when I turned it.
I thought this grocery bit was the only dream I had for about fifteen minutes after waking and wasn't going to write it down. It wasn't until I started reading Unicorns in the Rain by Barbara Cohen and got to a bit about something small inside a shopping bag moving around that I remembered the small balls the cute aliens were playing with and the rest of the dream came back. I know that small alive thing in the bag is an exotic hamster, because I read the story a long long time ago. We lost the book, and I always wanted to read it again. I finally bought it. This is all real life. Anyway, it brought back this other dream, at least bits of it. As always there was a LOT more that happened, full of plot, and I can't remember it. My dreams are so rich, I write a lot even when I remember only a small fraction of it. At least even when I can't remember it all, I can still remember how much I enjoyed being in the story (that I now can't recall).
I also in real life am thread crocheting a scarf. Or trying. I'm kind of making it up as I go, and trying to keep it simple. The thing about crocheting back and forth though with gaps between stitches is that without a pattern it can be a little tricky to keep it the same width across the entire length of your stitching. It can taper off, in a way. I couldn't figure out last night how to keep the edges straight. I then figured it out in my dream before I woke up. In real life, I am now crocheting what is looking to be a perfectly decent scarf of some as of yet unknown finished appearance. Maybe I'll post a picture at some point? Who knows.
