The Fourth Kind

Nightmare 5/31/2016

I live in a house in the countryside.

Aliens allow me to fly. I spread my arms and fly around the town, looking at old churches and schools. I come back home.

It's dusk. My sister, Kristen, is walking the dogs down the gravel driveway. The rest of my family is inside the house. The electricity cuts out and then comes right back on again . I hear my mom's blood curdling scream. I look toward the house. The shades are closed so I can't see inside. I look over toward Kristen, She shoots into the sky like something took her by the arm and yanked her out of this world at light speed.

Something strange is happening to me. I know that I'm about to be abducted. I hear the sound of my surroundings speeding up. A force grabs my body and I too am taken. Although the view from outer space is beautiful, the fear I feel is unlike anything I've experienced before. Dream ends.

Beam Me Up

Dream 5/26/2016

I live in an advanced age. It is now possible to travel to other planets with ease, like you were taking a weekend trip to the beach.

My friend, Gary, and I travel to another planet. On this planet there are countries and continents just like Earth. When there, we take a bus to the different towns in the area. I tell Gary of my brilliant idea to stuff sand, dirt and water from different planets into glass bottles, label them and sell them.

We travel back to Earth. We shop at Lowe's. The entire time we are there, I am holding something in my hand. I can't quite remember what it was, but I think it was a doll. Strange, huh? Dream ends.

The War in the Stars

Dream 5/21/2016

I'm in the field next to my old church in Anderson, Indiana. In between the church and the woods, I pitch a tent. A fancy igloo, no ice. The pastors daughter, Carrie, visits my igloo. She tells me about her new house, which she built where the gazebo used to be. We decide to go see Star Wars: Episode 8. The movie theater is where her house is. In the movie, Lando Calrissian has converted to the dark side and is now a storm trooper. He's played by Denzel Washington. Darth Vader is the main villain of the film, which is odd considering he's supposed to be dead.

Next, we watch Star Wars: Episode 9 which is entitled, "The Hard One." During the movie, the theater workers pause the film and demand our attention at the front of the room. They tell us that the upcoming scene has been difficult for some viewers, causing extreme nausea and sickness. It would help if we put a brass key next to our head during the scene and that will eliminate any chance of sickness. Carrie leaves the theater, I think to go find a key in her car. They resume the movie. The scene is of Luke Skywalker in a strange ship gunner pod. It's extremely fast. He is strapped into a speed absorbent harness. People get sick because the speed of the moment feels real. They feel as if they are there. Although it doesn't show, I think that Luke dies in this episode, considering it's called, "The Hard One." Dream ends.

Starstruck

Dream 5/17/2016

It's my birthday today.

My family throws a party for me. People are inside and outside the house. Out of nowhere, Christopher Nolan shows up. He is one of my Film heroes. I want so badly to hang out with him but I don't want to appear like a fan, so I barely talk to him. I want to show him a movie that I made. I show some other people but realize that it's really bad. Chris leaves. Dream ends.

Creature Feature

Dream 5/17/2016

I'm in my high school again.

I'm in a downstairs classroom, the high school math room, when I realize that I've forgotten my book bag in the classroom above us. I go to retrieve it. As I walk up the stairs, I notice everyone from the class following me. We switch to the upstairs classroom.

We're outside in the school parking lot at night, like we used to be after returning from far away games. A non-human creature appears. It looks vaguely similar to the creature from "Jeepers Creepers." We chase him off the property. While everyone celebrates the victory, another student and I walk into the school. We think we're the only people in the building, but we're not. We see the creature from outside going down into the basement. In the basement, we keep a prisoner, a bad man, locked away. The creature picks a fight with the jailed man, but everyone from outside now knows whats going on and comes inside to catch the predator, but he gets away. Dream ends.

The Wilderness Trip

Dream 5/16/2016

My friend, Sam, is on a trip to the wilderness in the east United States.

I'm playing Minecraft in a hotel room with my friend Derek. I call Sam to see how his trip is going. He tells me that he killed a snake and kept it's bones for decoration. I am now in a car with Sam. I see the snake bones dangled from his rear view mirror. I ask him if he killed it himself, he dances around the answer. I ask him how he skinned it, did he use the hot water theory or the cold ice theory.

I am now back in the hotel room. Derek is now on the trip with Sam. They are on a bus. we are all on the phone together. Derek says, "Keith from Louisiana wants to know if we would want to play Minecraft or watch some movies. Sam answers, "me." Dream ends.

"..And I'm all out of bubblegum."

Dream 5/10/2016

I am the son of the king. I am the prince of a 2 acre property. I don't rule with an iron fist. Mostly I sleep. The townsfolk seem to like me.

One day, impostors from another territory cross the borders of my kingdom and start murdering my people. I hold a meeting atop a large stack of bleachers. I yell out to the town, "I am the prince of this town and if you are an impostor, (I grab a shotgun from the man standing next to me) I will kill you myself." My people are on board as well. They take out anyone who doesn't belong here. The town giant helps too. Life eventually returns to normal. Dream ends.

I wake up

Late Fee

Dream 5/10/2016

My sisters, brother-in-law, and me are at the Middletown, Indiana public library.

I walk the aisles of the library with a few books in my hand. A man who I don't recognize comes and takes the books out of my hands and says that I can't have them. I'm a little confused by the incident.

My sisters and I go to the front desk to check out all of our books. The librarian tells my sister that she has a five-hundred dollar late fee. My sister asks her what happens if she doesn't pay. The librarian says that they will sue her for the money. We decide to use my other sisters account to check out the books. Dream ends.

Family Reunion

Dream 5/10/2016

Today we are having a family reunion at my old church in Anderson, Indiana.

All my cousins are here as well as my aunts and uncles. The only people who didn't show are my own family, my mom and sisters. Everyone at the party is drinking. I used to drink but recently quit due to alcoholism running through my family tree.

I ride up to the party on a horse and a chocolate milk in my hand. My family members laugh at me behind my back, calling me a child. My mom calls me on my cell and asks me to bring her a drink. I decide to ditch the party and head home. Dream ends.

I wake up

Rotton

Dream 5/7/2016

My friend Garrek comes over to play some video games.

We settle in to play some virtual reality games, the kind where you can't tell the difference between reality and the game world. Before we play, I run to the kitchen to get us some food. I look in the trash can and see a bag of tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream etc. I pull it out of the trash and make us some plates. I eat all of my food but Garrek tells me that his tortilla doesn't taste right.

We continue with out gaming. We play a game where we fight zombies in a park at night. The game feels so realistic that Garrek has to quit.

My mom and Garrek's wife come into the room. I ask my mom why the tortillas were in the trash. She tells me they've been in the refrigerator for a long time and they've gone bad. Dream ends.
