Old dream: Planet of alien children

Here's an old one that somehow slipped through the net.

I actually had this dream on 27th August 2013 but forgot all about it until it came up on my Facebook memories feed.  I'm going to quote the status update in its entirety below:

Two strange dream-related things happened to me this morning. First I dreamed I was on an alien planet where the aliens looked like human toddlers but spoke just like adults (they were fully grown but with the bodies of infants basically). There was nothing cute about these aliens though. They were nasty pieces of work.

I was trying to infiltrate their complex for some reason, but the dream ended halfway through. It continued an hour or so later when I fell asleep on the train into work. Only this time, whilst traversing their complex, I took a couple of turns and found myself in a room facing a red baby-looking alien creature with a head the size of a football and a large, wide oval-shaped mouth with pointy teeth. It had squinty, black eyes and looked freaky as hell. I woke up when I saw it.

Later on, I found myself going up the escalators in a train station that looked EXACTLY like one I saw in a dream a week earlier where me and an unknown woman were trying to escape a train station to get away with people who'd been infected by a virus that caused fungal growths to erupt from their bodies which turned them into zombies. In this dream, we'd just descended the escalator and saw a train full of these zombies. Seeing the exact same station for the first time IRL was unnerving to say the very least.

Sunday service

This is the first memorable dream I've had in a while.

It started with me being ushered into a church (pardon the pun) with a group of people that included my girlfriend.  We walked through the main door and had to pass through two rooms to get into the church hall proper.

The church itself was a small building.  The hall hosted rows of wooden seats that faced a stage from where the ceremonies were conducted.  There was a small table and windows to the right of the stage.

At some point, I was arguing with the preacher about something in his sermon.  I basically pointed out that what he was saying contradicted another passage in the bible, proving it to be unreliable.  I ended up getting into an argument with him and someone else in the congregation.  Shortly after, an uncomfortable silence descended upon the congregation.  At first, I thought it was because of what I'd said, but then people started saying they felt a strange presence in the building and wanted to leave.

The whole thing seemed silly to me at first, so I laughed it off.  I remember saying "Do you think there's a crazed psycho killer in the building or something?".  I then pointed to a bald guy in his late 50s with large eyes in sunken, ringed sockets and said: "Maybe it's you, you look pretty freaky".  I then said I was joking.  I was basically trying to lighten the mood, but my jocularity had no effect.

I started to feel the unease myself, at which point I stood up and said I was leaving.  I grabbed my coat and made for the door, at which point everybody decided to follow me.  As we got to the door which leads to the rooms that preceded the main hall, everyone suddenly became confused as to the best way to leave.  There was also some concern as the doors could close behind you once walked through, so going through the wrong door would keep us trapped with whatever was in the building.

I tried to take the lead and get people out, but nobody was listening to me, so I decided to make a run for it myself.  I woke up just as I bolted out of the main door and back outside.

Fragments of yesterday...

Yeah, both of this blog's readers would've noticed that I haven't posted anything up in ages.  For some reason, I just haven't had very many memorable dreams at all for a very long time.  In fact, ever since I moved, vivid dreams have become more and more infrequent, sadly.

I'm posting this to compile the fragments of dreams I have remembered over the last few months.

I
On an alien planet of some sort, floating in the air and witnessing large buildings that resembled old, decaying castle ramparts.  Large lizard-like creatures crawled between the holes for windows in these buildings.  These creatures were the denizens of this planet.  They also had bubble shaped spaceships that hovered in mid-air.  The spaceships had human faces on them that looked like women with afros.


II
Walking around in an abandoned field that looked a lot like somewhere I'd flown across in one of my older flying dreams.  Dusk was approaching.  I climbed a fence and found myself in another field with a large stone shelter.  I walked over and saw about 5 or 6 women gathered around a fire holding hands.  I approached and they started talking to me about finding god.


III
Last night, I dreamed the whole of the UK was on lockdown.  Everyone, but the very rich were forced to live underground.  In this dream, I was an observer and watched a family bribe a policewoman into hiring a boat to escape, which they did.  The boat took them to an island near Spain and it turns out the policewoman tricked them as a search party was sent to bring them back.  However, the family preempted this and never told the policewoman that Spain was not their final destination, so by the time the search party arrived, they'd already moved on.

I watched as the son in the family (who arranged all this) met up with a mysterious tall Jewish man in a black robe and a hat.  He was the person who arranged for them to be transported to their next destination.  This guy apparently specialised in these sorts of operations and relied on being completely undetectable (i.e. nobody knew who he was).  The dream ended as he and the son of this family got together in a mystery location to discuss the next move.



All of these were fragmentary remembrances that lack any real context, but I've included them as they managed to stick out somehow.  I hope I have more memorable dreams again soon.
