Alien Creatures Attacking A Facility?

Source: IMDb

Dream 1

This dream took place early in the morning in a room where me, my mom, and my brothers KDC and TDC were.

My brothers KDC and TDC were trying to sleep, one of them woke up, and we listened to some music from a computer until I stopped it so that I could go to sleep.

My mom started to play a cartoon that was in my watch list, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

This dream took place during the day in what seemed like New Orleans, Louisiana in The United States, but I could be wrong.

A mostly forgotten part of the dream took place in a field that had a small rough wooden shack-like house in the middle of it, me and my former male classmate JC went there, and maybe he bought the land and house.

Later in the dream JC was probably still there, but I was on a bus with some other people, and our bus driver was a woman with light-color skin.

At some point we drove past the field with the small rough wooden shack-like house as our bus driver seemed to be on her way to meet someone or something, it seemed that maybe she was going to check out something, like maybe something she found in some classified ad and maybe she was told to go to a certain location to meet whoever had what she wanted or whatever.

This stop was not part of our official bus route, this was a personal stop for her, that she did not think would take long I assume.

It felt like we were in or near downtown New Orleans, she parked along a sidewalk by some buildings, and there was a dark tunnel-like brick alley and the location was supposed to be in there somewhere so she got out to check it out and I went with her because this looked suspicious and unsafe.

I had a taser or something that I kept ready just in case, we walked down the dark brick tunnel alley and no one was around, and I asked her if she was sure that this was the correct location and she said yes and I warned her that this seemed more like trap or something and that we probably should turn around but she wanted to continue so we did because I was not going to leave her alone when it seemed so obviously dangerous.

To my surprise this area was clean and I expected to see people who were homeless living around here, but I saw no one which made me even more worried because this looked like a nice place to stay if you were homeless so I assumed that something was keeping them away.

We reach an area with a solid door, either someone told us to enter over and intercom and let us in or we walked in, and there was another dark tunnel that led to another door so we went through it.

This led into a strange experimental facility where we saw some scientist wearing maybe white lab coats running toward us with futuristic stun baton-like weapons and energy weapons that were mostly white, and the weapons and the facility and the scientists seemed like something from a Half-Life video game or something.

There was a small dirt-like hill that was somewhat mountain-like to our left that we walked up on, there were several different types of terrains and areas in this part of the building, which was interesting.

Some strange small four-legged alien-like creatures were attacking, the scientists were running from them and fighting them as they tried to evacuate the building, and we ran to help the scientists.

I am not sure if I shot anything with my taser-like weapon or not, I just know that I picked up a futuristic shock baton-like weapon and an energy weapon that could shoot maybe a blue energy beam from a distance, and I used those when I probably picked up some from some dead scientists.

I helped a balding male scientist with light-color skin with dark hair wearing glasses evacuate out of the building, the bus driver and no other scientists followed, and so we quickly gathered some more weapons and we ran inside to find them.

We were only able to save the bus driver and a female scientist, and we ran to the land and house in the field where I saw my former classmate JC and a woman working outside the house with their backs facing us.

A small rough-looking car full of some rough-looking people with light-color skin was driving by the field and stopped by us, an older woman was driving, and she told us that buying this land / house was a bad idea.

As she was driving off I heard a man in the car mentioning how big the butt of the woman next to JC was, which he thought was attractive, but they kept driving as the older woman said something to him about that.

We then saw a military-like convoy coming up the road, the two scientists said that they were probably arriving to deal with the facility situation, and one of the scientists wanted to run over to them to let them know about the situation.

I sensed danger and I told this scientist to hide instead, a somewhat older military-looking man with light-color skin with white hair seemed to be the leader of the convoy, the scientist ignored my warning and the leader ordered the convoy to kill us.

They started shooting at us and I yelled for everyone to get down, I pretended to be dead as the first scientist was shot because there was almost no cover and I was mostly exposed, and so I stood no chance.

The assumed leader smiled and told the convoy to continue to the facility, he assumed that we were dead and was not concerned about double-checking, and so they drove by.

I was pretending to be dead, but most of the others were probably dead.

I hoped that most of the others were alive, I was worried for them, and I assumed that the convoy was here to cover-up the situation by killing everything and everyone who was a witness.

I woke up before I could get up to see if anyone else was alive.

The end,

An Oceanarium Gets Attacked By A Giant Fish

Dream 1

This dream involved maybe me waking up in the dream in the morning, my mom had just returned from the city of LC, and I found out that she had went there for a doctor’s appointment.

I also found out that she finally got health insurance again, and so that is how she was able to go to the doctor again.

I was happy to hear this, and I suggested that she get an eye doctor’s appointment and a dentist’s appointment set up as soon as possible.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

This dream involved me, my parents, and my brothers TDC and KDC arriving at a multi-story marine park / oceanarium-like place that was built over / on an ocean or sea.

I assume that we were going to spend the night there or something because I had some luggage (a green military duffel bag, maybe a guitar-like case, and a smaller bag), we were probably going to check-in to our rooms, but a medieval reenactment / renaissance fair-like event was about to take place so we went there first.

Along the hallways were some small storage rooms to store your stuff, and maybe I divided my luggage in three of these storage rooms before we entered the room where someone would do orientation for this event.

A small boy with some kind of disability was doing the orientation for our group, he would explain the rules et cetera, show us around the area, and then help us get ready for jousting and other mock combat activities with maybe rubber weapons and replica clothing and armor that we would compete in on teams mostly.

Somehow when the boy walked outside to show us around I was the only one who followed, the others did not realize that they were supposed to follow him, and so it took them a moment to catch on and catch up.

While he was talking to the rest of the group I probably got my luggage and put it in one storage room, a woman with light-color skin probably stopped to talk to me briefly, and then maybe I returned to the group and maybe I briefly competed in some competitions until it was over and me and my family continued our journey to find our rooms maybe.

We reached a mostly covered outdoor area with stadium seating that went down closer to the water where the rails were, and they were probably putting food in the water to attract some marine animals.

Suddenly some very large great white sharks started to appear from under the water, one was probably the size of the largest real life sharks, one was probably the size of Jaws (Bruce), and the last one was even larger.

The largest great white shark seemed smart and was looking at the lower rows of seats like he (I sensed that it was a male) wanted to attack the people there, and was trying to decide if he could jump high enough to reach them.

I noticed this and I started to sense danger, we were up high fortunately, but then that sense of danger became fear as an impossibly large giant strange fish that was somewhat round and did not look quite like any fish that I can think of slowly rose closer to the surface.

This giant fish looked even smarter, it looked like it wanted to attack as well and so it seemed to be thinking up a plan, and then it possibly smiled which was super creepy because it seemed more human-like in its intelligence and expression.

That smile signaled that it knew how it was going to attack, and it started swimming under the structure with some of its body above the water trying to destroy the support beams et cetera.

Me and my family started running to the right to an area of many glass windows with a view of the water between this structure and another that was possibly on land or something, and others were running in panic.

The intercom system warned everyone to get to the other structure to our right, and so everyone was running to reach the tunnel that connected the two.

The area where we were started to fall sideways so we had to leave it to escape to the other structure, the giant fish was moving back and forth hitting the beams et cetera, and it was looking up and around at the chaos and possibly looked and smiled at me at least once.

It was clearly intelligent and was trying to knock everyone into the water where the sharks and maybe it could eat people, it did not really seem like a fish that needs to eat like that, but I had no idea.

We reached the other structure along with some of my mom’s side of the family like my aunt RE who I held across, my aunt SE, my uncle CE, and maybe my aunt DE and her family.

I then realized that my brothers TDC and KDC were missing, my mom said that she last saw them not long ago, and so I was going to run back to find them if they did not arrive soon.

I hoped that they were okay, but I woke up as I waited and prepared to go find them.

The end,

A Family Gathering And A Corpse And Shadow Moon

Source: IMDb

This dream is unclear and involved at least three different parts that the dream possibly jumped between, and so the dream possibly took place during the morning and late afternoon and evening.

One part of the dream involved being in the yard of The E House, a second part of the dream involved the character Shadow Moon from the television show American Gods, and a third part of the dream involved shopping at a grocery store that was possibly near the yard of The E House.

The early part of the dream that took place at the yard of The E House involved me being there maybe in the morning, I remember checking the mail and newspaper and phone book in the front yard, and moving what I found under the entrance-way of the front door.

Some of my family slowly started showing up like a family gathering was going to take place, I was in the backyard with someone when maybe we got attacked by a man who was possibly working for a mafia or something (maybe a hitman), but I can not remember; I just remember that there was a dead body, I assume we killed the person who tried to kill us, and then we tried to hide the body so that our family members would not see it.

We were going to take the body away but too many family members had arrived for the gathering, and so we hid the corpse near the chicken coop that looked different than in real life and this area was larger and slightly different.

We were probably afraid what would happen if anyone found out what happened to the assumed mafia hitman who tried to kill us, I assume we were afraid what the assumed mafia would do, and maybe if the police would even believe us so getting rid of the body was the option that we decided to go with.

We decided to hide the body first, and then get rid of it when there was no one around.

Another part of the dream involved Shadow Moon and possibly things involving American Gods and a few other things, Shadow Moon possibly moved between wherever he was and maybe the grocery store and maybe even the yard of The E House, but I can not remember.

The last part of the dream involved shopping at a grocery store that was possibly near or connected to the yard of The E House, I went there along with someone else, and maybe Shadow Moon was there shopping too.

The dream probably jumped between the parts with me and the parts with Shadow Moon, and maybe the parts where we happen to be in the same area.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

American Gods | Season 1, Episode 3 Clip: Ifrit/Jinn | STARZ
https://bit.ly/1mkHKgZ

This is how Fandom describes this scene:

Salim is a young Muslim man selling trinkets and souvenirs for his brother-in-law.

He sits all day long at a company called Panglobal, waiting to meet with Mr. Blanding who never shows.

He asks if he can make an appointment for tomorrow, and the assistant tells him he has to phone for appointments.

He walks out into the night rain and hails a cab, giving directions to his hotel.

The taxi driver speaks Arabic, and they discuss Oman, where Salim is from, chatting about the Lost City of Towers, which vanished thousands of years prior.

The taxi driver apologizes as he has been driving for 30 hours straight, and Salim tells him about how he just arrived in America a week ago and is selling worthless trinkets to people who won’t see him.

They get stuck in traffic and the taxi driver falls asleep.

Salim reaches over the seat and gently rests his hand on his shoulder to wake him.

The taxi driver awakens, and Salim catches a glimpse of fiery eyes in the rearview mirror.

Salim recognizes him as an ifrit, a person of the fire that his grandmother once told him about.

The Jinn tells him that he does not grant wishes and his life has been reduced to this terrible job as a taxi driver.

Salim reaches over to once again touch his shoulder in comfort.

The Jinn caresses his hand in return.
