Rest In Peace Dream Journals of the Strange and Misanthropic

[VicSage]

It's a thread about the bizarre things that you dream about, brought to you by a random off topic conversation in the funny pics thread. I'll kick us off.

About two years ago I had to go on a trip with all my co-workers to a remote site in the middle of nowhere for reasons, not important. What is important is that we had transportation there, and lodging provided to us in terms of bunk beds. So we've been there about a month at this point, it's about 1am, I've just gotten to sleep, and I have a dream about my dog. Specifically, how I left my dog in my car in the employee parking lot, in the middle of summer, a month ago. And I wake up, nearly whack my head on the guy above me, and am about to start screaming "OH GOD OH FUJK" when I stop. And think for a second. And start to get really mad at myself. You know why?

I don't have a dog.

Ohhh, I've got a few of those! Let's see...

Once, when I was... 19 or 20 or thereabouts, and still living at home, I had a very strange dream.

I was in my bed, when suddenly a bunch of little grey people (basically the stereotypical Grey aliens, though they seemed more "alive" and fluid/realistic in their movements than you usually see in pop culture, and also slightly more like human children in their proportions) started trying to drag me away... somewhere. It wasn't clear where, but I could feel there was something big outside our house, possibly a ship under cloak or something along those lines.

However, right around the time they'd managed to get me out of bed and staggering toward the balcony door, they were interrupted. In the next room, my parents were asleep, and in my dream I could "see" them lying there, their bodies sort of greyed out, while above them rose a pair of what I can only liken to - I kid you not - very colorfully dressed Hindu deities, with lots of bright reds and oranges and other colors. The impression I got was that they were the "spirits" or perhaps "guardians" of my parents, and I could see their lower bodies fading into my parents' unconscious bodies.

The spirits gave the little grey people some very stern looks and told them to put me back where I was and go away. I didn't get any particular emotional impressions from the little grey people, but after a few moments' hesitation during which I think they communicated with either each other or someone else, they left in a hurry and I sort of "drifted" back into my bed. I don't remember the large presence I felt outside the house disappearing, but I woke up around that time, and definitely couldn't "sense" anything of the sort, nor was there any trace of anything having happened in my room during the night.

I had viewed the entirety of the dream as though I had been watching a movie from inside the movie itself, yet at the same time feeling everything that happened as though it happened to me at the same time, sort of like your stereotypical out-of-body experience. And I had seen through walls and everything, too; they simply didn't register in the "movie", or perhaps they were transparent or something.

In any case, it was all really weird and I never told anyone about it. Well, until now, obviously.
