4/6/08 dream redux

More from that fantastic dream:

I was hanging out with a guy who used to host an interview show -- a Merv Griffin-type.

Next door was a family of Tibetan Buddhists -- one of the teenage sons has been possessed by something, and is planning on killing me and Merv. This particular part has been a recurring dream for me.

Anyway, we discover that the teenager is possessed by an Alien, and this Alien can transform the teenager from human to Alien form at will.

The Teenager/Alien was determined to get us alone at home at night.

I remember discussing the situation outside, on the street where I grew up ... I explained that I didn't trust the kid. We decided to leave him and go to a party. They Teenager/Alien's brother did the same thing a few moments before, driving off without him.

We went to a celebrity party. There was an old gentleman there that we struck up a conversation with -- he had a silver face and toupee. Maybe it was Destro, accepting an award that night.

I was digitally filming the proceedings. We went to a bedroom. Along the way, the Merv Griffin-type told me we were about to meet a 70's classic pop singer who Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera had copied. We go in; she was laying on the bed, covered by a white sheet, watching T.V -- ala Marilyn Monroe, except she was a red head. Merv interviewed her for a few moments.

4/6/08 -- Charlton Heston Dream

More anecdotal proof of a higher power:

I saw a clip from that Planet of the Apes remake that had been cut out of the movie. It showed that the reason they were traveling through space was because of a broken up message that someone had recorded unto an old LP. The LP was on the ship, on a record player. It accidentally started playing, and we the audience could hear Ripley from the Alien movie, talking about something and later yelling.

Next, we see Charlton Heston, backed into a corner, carrying a huge flame thrower/gun. The Alien was about to enter the room. Heston sees the shadow of the beast and fires his flame thrower. He sees the reaction of the Alien and says, "So ... you don't like fire." He smiles. The alien jumps into the room, and Heston blasts him with flames and bullets, while laughing in only the way he could laugh.

Godspeed, Mr. Heston.

Alien Invasion

Pretty long dream that is hard to remember, so let me highlight the scenes:

Setting:

Sometimes on a large naval ship, with full accommodation and high ceilings, other times in the countryside with meadows.

Scene #1:

The United States was being invaded by an alien race, but not every state was being invaded. In fact, one Tashman Technogies client actually called while I was watching the news on a giant flat screen TV on a Navy ship. This client wanted to know why her project was late, and when I told her we are in the midst of an intergalactic war, we're going to be a bit late, just like we were late for her project during World War II.

She put me on the phone with another salesperson, who disbelieving that we couldn't make the deadline, and was threatening to use another teleportation company. I had a 3-D global map watching the points of battle between the aliens and our forces.

Scene #2:

During all of this, there was a break in the action, and my grandparents and I were watching an a classic Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick) black and white movie on the giant flat screen. I remembered this movie to be an inspirational movie during World War II in the struggle against the Axix powers, and my grandmother was usually emotional when she watched it. However, this time she was noticeable distracted, and my grandather was dozing off on the couch.

Scene #3:

My wife and I were on the run from the Navy ship to a field of green. We were being chased by Federal Agents, and we were being tracked, recorded, and about to be set up and captured. I believe we had committed an infraction on the Navy ship, which was captured on tape, and now we were in trouble.
