In an apartment, skyrise, we looked out the window and saw the planes fighting over a town resembling uptown manhattan; I feel like it was manhattan a few years from now. They were like world war two planes only with upgrades. The dogfights of WWII were a reality yet again, but it was WWIII this time, and _we_ were alive.
Emerson, Samantha, Anthony, Matthew, Shoshana, Andrea, myself, and some other geeks we knew.
Things got weirder faster, but before that, as I peered out the window watching missles fly and the structures of man be demolished in flames of conflict, I said "This is it. This is the dream I had." My fear and resolve both heightened.
Then the weirdness came in. An alien appeared in disguise as Matt's mother. It revealed itself quickly as we knew it wasn't really her; it was far too strange. THis was like your typical alien only it was patched with red on it's face and wearing overly-eccentric clothes to mimic Matt's mom. Without a second thought Matt assaulted it with throwing stars, but it regenerated and took him.
We lost him.
It left, and the as the alien made it's speedy exit, it left it's head to fall on the floor just outside the open door. The head transformed into a dragon-like creature, and things get blurry for a bit, but it changed us. We were turned into rodent like creatures. I thought "Good, now that we're this small and agile, we can survive easier," but I was wrong. Meanwhile someone next to us was turned into a freaky rock-turtle-ish creature with 3 apendages that were like trunks. I was afraid of him turning on us, but he kept his mind. He said something like "Who would do this to me!? Do they hate me that much!"
We moved on. We scuttled about in the halls of a building wearing down by the second, when a big centipede went under either Andrea's or Shana's foot. I believe they were turned into fluffy white rodents who were somewhat pristine. One of them, whichever one it was, said "Excuse me!" to the centipede as it moved past us.
Just then, a rat with a terrible new york accent speaking to us said something. I don't remember what, but he was brown and dark. More centipedes scattered about and he had company of us own reflecting us in some way, only the were all dirty and dark. He said we weren't "tainted" yet. I had no intention of being so tainted. I moved on with the group.
The dream ended, and I can only come up with one solid thing from all this: Don't drink caffeine when you're trying to get some sleep. It sucks that my water right now smells heavily of chlorine and I can't bring myself to drink it, where I used to once, so I drank some chocolate milk and a little pepsi to try to get some sleep. Here I am, not sleeping, recognizing that dream was inspired by caffeine.
