Mass Effect | A Disaster / Invasion?

Mass Effect 3: Take Earth Back Trailer (FemShep Version)

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream now is that it involved things from the video game franchise Mass Effect, there was definitely more to this dream, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of the end of this dream is that it took place during the day, and I was inside a building on the right side of maybe the highway that goes to the city of LC; and I was there with my family, and some other people were there like my female coworker JB who just happened to be there among the other people.

Arnold Schwarzenegger And Menopause

All that I can remember of the end of this dream is that it seemed to take place in a slightly fictional nicer version of the city of D that had recently experienced a serious disaster, probably a storm like a hurricane, but I am not sure.

I was walking to The BP Library for work near where the train tracks should be / are, the area across the street from the fictional larger building that the library was in and it was up higher than the area on the other side, and so I had to make my way up.

An Anime & Parking Garage | Strange Children | SS’s Mom Goes Missing

Dream 1

This dream took place during the day and part of the dream involved me watching a fictional old 1980s-looking anime movie with good animation that took place on another planet in the future during the day.

In the anime there was a giant ship / vehicle / building on tank treads driving through a mostly barren wilderness, and in this area was the main character who was a man with light-color skin who possibly had a hover bike or motorcycle.

Citizen’s Arrest | The Library Is Closed | JB’s Missing Book

Dream 1

I can only barely remember part of this dream which seemed to involve maybe some kind of disaster or serious situation going on that led to various people and I trying to get to a multi-purpose multi-story mall-like building that had a living quarters that was supposed to be safe, but you had to be processed first to see if they would allow you to stay there or not.

Traveling there was not as easy as it normally would, we had to travel using several travel methods like by foot and by one or more vehicles thanks to some of the people knowing people who would help us, and I was fortunate that I happened to be traveling with some random families who knew various people who could help us.
