It started off in 'my' house, I think it was near my grandma's house, but definitely not a house i recognise from reality... it was clear that Sydney was on the brink of something; the atmosphere was tense, waiting for some kind of catalyst to bring about TEOTWAWKI (The End of the World As We Know It - google it, you'll get some pretty interesting/humorous hits!), at least that's what it felt like. It was nighttime, quite dark on the street, the street lights were unlit and people were acting strangely; when i went outside, random men approached me and were speaking nonsense that scared me back inside.
Whatever 'it' was happened (I get the feeling it was some kind of biological weapon or perhaps invasion of some kind? Strange how in dreams you just 'know' some things without them ever being actually stated or shown), and suddenly my grandma appeared. My mum was there too and it was clear that we had to get out of Sydney - but I was waiting for my boyfriend to return from work in the city. I was trying to call him while my mum and grandma started packing the car with food and provisions, and out on the street there were soldiers handing out food to a large group of people who were just sitting on the grass - it was like they just didn't know what to do. Like everyone had just lost all sense of purpose and drive.
I finally got onto my boyfriend... he was crying. I had instinctively felt that something bad was happening in the city and he was trapped there. As soon as people who never cry - like my boyfriend, mum etc. - start crying, you know it's bad. Even in dreams, it puts me on edge, like I can't cope...anyway he was saying that he was stuck or in a really bad place and then i started crying because i knew that i wouldn't see him again... and then the horror of that caused me to physically jump and wake up.
Anyway i was pretty upset about the whole dream, some dreams just leave you with a feeling of dread/sadness/melancholy or whatever...and this was one of them. I sent my boyfriend a text, hoping for some comfort, but since it was 5am I knew he wouldn't get it for a while. I went back to sleep and sort of 'fell' back into the dream in that way that you do...
You can continue reading after the bounce if you're at all interested.
So we have decided that we can't drive out of Sydney - I don't remember why - and we are packing what we can (my grandma has disappeared and my younger brothers have materialised instead!) into backpacks so we can walk. I believe we visit a supermarket at some stage but this is all getting fuzzy...anyway we keep having to suck on these tablets while we are outside – in order to breathe I think. So I guess the atmosphere is poisoned. And my boyfriend is there now? or maybe not...again, fuzzy.
Then this sort of segues in that way that dreams do to me sitting on a spacecraft. The interior looks like a very spacious and luxurious aeroplane cabin. We are going to an alien planet as they have invaded us, so we're going to destroy the nest type of thing. These aliens can make themselves look human. I get flashes of the battle between our soldiers and theirs - it is confusing who is who because of the alien's special ability. I get the impression they are very difficult to kill.
Meanwhile i'm on my way there and I am texting my boyfriend that I want to meet with him when I arrive - he is a soldier, already on the Alien planet. I tell him that I have been betrothed to the Alien King (!) – i'm guessing as an act of diplomacy to help stop the war? I get the feeling I'm some sort of princess – and it is totally beyond my control.
When I get there (we have a base on the planet), I find myself in a large cafeteria-style place. I get my meal – I get special food, because of my royal status i guess – and then I search around for my boyfriend. The hall is clearly divided into soldier and civilian eating areas, but I ignore this and walk straight into the midst of the soldiers - they call out and look around in indignation and disbelief at this move. I search for my boyfriend, eventually finding him. I want to tell him I love him and I wish things didn't have to be this way, but then I wake up...
Strange, strange dream huh; anyone else been having apocalypse-esque dreams lately? Maybe it's a sign (cue X-Files music)....
