sci-fi + late night studying makes for odd dreams
Here's what happens when you have Independence Day on mute one night and then Jurassic Park on mute the next, then decide to research Clover, the monster from the movie Cloverfield, at around 3:00 AM before going to bed after hours of studying:
I dreamed that it was nighttime but windy outside with bright flashing lights. I saw this huge dark thing drawing closer to my house in the sky, but my dog had to go outside, so I let him out. I was at the front door and the lights kept drawing closer and tracing around my house like spotlights. I was getting a rising sensation of fear and unease and I finally got my dog back in the house, but as I did, one of the bright lights fell upon my front porch and there was a gust of wind. I shut the door and ran and hid behind the bar in my house, in the corner. I remember shaking uncontrollably with fear. All the doors burst open with an enormous blast, there was a moment of blinding white lights, and then there was nothing. I remember being curled in the corner shaking, but thinking it was over, something had landed nearby but I was going to be okay. I thought that I should pick up the phone and call someone, so I summoned the courage to move. But as I crept past the bar and looked around the corner, I found myself face to face with the most hideous creature my imagination could conjure. My best description is that it looked like a cross between a velociraptor, the Cloverfield monster, and one of the Aliens from the series. It had large, black, insect eyes and long, interlacing dagger teeth. It opened its mouth and hissed and I drew back into the corner and in a moment, thought, "holy shit there's no way to get out of this one. I'm going to die this time." As I thought this, I saw another monster, an identical twin, jump onto the bar, and both rushed at me with jaws agape to tear me to pieces.
And then I woke up.
Fucking HORRIBLE dream. Interpretations welcome.
