The two dreams that I remember part of were partly inspired by me watching some YouTube videos about tiny houses / hopefully affordable houses yesterday.
Part of this dream involved small houses, normal houses, tiny houses, and maybe some other things being sold.
The YouTube video Billie Holiday Vs The US Government – Extra History by the YouTube channel Extra Credits.

Jazz singer Billie Holiday vs the US Government?! Her song Strange Fruit, written by Abel Meeropol about the treatment of African Americans in the community, is what started the whole altercation. Especially when Harry Anslinger, the Head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics got involved, he set out to ensnare the Idol any way he could.

The 2009 ABC American science fiction television show V (Season 1) & V (Season 2).
This ia how Fandom describes this TV show:
V is a re-imagining of the 1980’s television series, airing on ABC. The series premiere aired on November 3, 2009.
On May 13, 2011, ABC canceled the series.
In response the fan campaign “Project Alice” was reported to be petitioning Warner Brothers to renew the series on a different network.
Premise
V is a re-imagining of the 1980s series about the world’s first encounter with an alien race.
Simultaneously appearing over 29 major cities in the world, the Visitors (or V’s) promote a message of peace.
Through their generous offer to share advanced technology, the V’s build a following that may actually hide a more malevolent agenda, one that twists a very deep component of human nature: devotion.
While the world quickly becomes fascinated with the V’s and their link to wonders just beyond the reach of human understanding, FBI Counterterrorism Agent Erica Evans discovers a secret hidden beneath the skin of every V – a secret that may threaten the lives of everyone close to her.
Yet for her teenage son, Tyler, the V’s are his ticket to something big and hopeful – a new chance for mankind to unite in common goals.
To Chad Decker, a career-hungry news reporter, his exclusive interview with Anna, the leader of the V’s, is crucial to his dominating the airwaves.
Also unsure about the Visitors is Father Jack Landry, a Catholic priest questioning his faith in the wake of the Visitors’ arrival.
Seeking answers outside the church, Father Jack, along with Erica, discovers that there are other dissidents who believe the Visitors are not who they say they are, including Ryan Nichols, who is faced with his own life-altering decision when the V’s show up.
Never has there been more at stake – it truly is the dawning of a new day.

Supporting cast
Here is how Wikipedia describes this TV show:
V is an American science fiction drama television series that ran for two seasons on ABC, from November 3, 2009, to March 15, 2011.[1][2]
A remake of the 1983 miniseries created by Kenneth Johnson, the new series chronicles the arrival on Earth of a technologically-advanced alien species which ostensibly comes in peace, but actually has sinister motives.[3]
V stars Elizabeth Mitchell and Morena Baccarin, and is executive produced by Scott Rosenbaum, Yves Simoneau, Scott Peters, Steve Pearlman, and Jace Hall.[4]
The series was produced by The Scott Peters Company, HDFilms and Warner Bros. Television. On May 13, 2011, ABC cancelled the series after two seasons.
Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities throughout the world, and Anna (Morena Baccarin), the beautiful and charismatic leader of the extraterrestrial “Visitors”, declares that they come in peace.
The Visitors claim to only need a small amount of Earth’s resources, in exchange for which they will share their advanced technological and medical knowledge.
Main cast
- Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans—an FBI counter-terrorism agent who becomes the leader of the global Fifth Column. Erica seems to become closer to the Visitor Lisa than to her son Tyler.
- Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols—a Visitor posing as human and a Fifth Columnist trying to undermine the insidious plans of the Visitors. He is later forced to betray the Fifth Column due to Anna holding his baby daughter hostage. He is strangled to death by his daughter while trying to remove her from the Visitor mothership in the season 2 finale.
- Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry—a Catholic priest and former U.S. Army chaplain with two tours in Iraq, whose unease with the Visitors is soon validated by his alliance with Erica over their discovery of the Visitors’ secret. Over time, he finds his views of the Visitors conflict with the church hierarchy. He is eventually laicized after speaking out against the Visitors one time too many, following numerous warnings from the Visitor-controlled Vatican.
- Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans—Erica’s teenage son who becomes a V “peace ambassador” and Lisa’s love interest. He becomes closer to Anna over time, and at odds with his own mother. The Visitors stripped him of half his DNA when he was in Erica’s womb, which led to his father believing that Erica had an affair. He is killed by Lisa’s “twin” sister after mating with her in the season 2 finale.
- Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie Stevens (season 1)—Ryan’s fiancée who was originally unaware of his alien nature. Her discovery of his secret leads to her being murdered by Anna after giving birth to Ryan’s baby.
- Laura Vandervoort as Lisa—a Visitor and Tyler’s love interest who is revealed to be Anna’s daughter and next-in-line to be the Visitors’ queen. She displays growing human emotion throughout the first season and joins the Fifth Column in the season finale. Lisa is shown to be closer to Erica than her own mother, she often confides in Erica about her emotions and Erica comforts her. In the second-season finale, she is imprisoned by Anna, and replaced by her sister, who is identical in appearance (also played by Laura Vandervoort).
- Charles Mesure as Kyle Hobbes (recurring season 1, starring season 2[5])—a former British SAS soldier and current mercenary, on top of the wanted lists of many law enforcement organizations, who is recruited by the Fifth Column. It is revealed the Visitors have someone close to him and are blackmailing him.
- Morena Baccarin as Anna—the cold, diabolically-manipulative Visitor Queen and High Commander. She maintains loyalty and control over her subjects by use of a telepathic pacification process known as “Bliss”.
- Scott Wolf as Chad Decker—a television news anchor who becomes the Visitors’ spokesperson. He is caught between his journalistic ethics and his ambition when his exclusive access to Anna comes with a price. He turns Fifth Column when he learns the sinister truth about the Visitors, though this remains hidden from Anna until the season 2 finale.
Supporting cast
- Christopher Shyer as Marcus—Anna’s second-in-command in charge of operations. He is shot in the second season during the Concordia announcements, but has since recovered.
- Mark Hildreth as Joshua—The physician in charge of the medical crew on board the Visitors’ New York mothership. In season 1, he appears loyal to Anna, but is in fact a Fifth Columnist undermining the Visitors’ operations from within. After being killed and revived, he awakens in season 2 with a wiped memory and renewed loyalty to Anna. In the end of season 2, he remembers being in Fifth Column after seeing Lisa snoop around on the mothership and rejoins the network against Anna.
- David Richmond-Peck as Georgie Sutton (season 1)—One of the original members of the human resistance who wanted revenge against the Visitors for causing his family’s deaths after he discovered the V’s agenda. In an attempt to save Ryan, he is captured by the Visitors. He is tortured for information and later chooses to die rather than reveal Fifth Column members.
- Roark Critchlow as Paul Kendrick—Erica’s superior in the FBI counter-terrorism unit. He has long suspected that Erica might be a member of the Fifth Column and reveals himself to be part of another underground anti-V organization known as Project Aries.
- Alan Tudyk as Dale Maddox (season 1)—Erica’s first partner in the series. Erica discovers he is a Visitor, and wounds him. He ends up on Anna’s ship where he is killed by Joshua, the V physician, who is also a spy for the Fifth Column.
- Lucas Wolf as Samuel (season 1)—a Visitor Fifth Columnist who worked alongside Joshua.
- Rekha Sharma as Agent Sarita Malik—An FBI agent assigned to work with Erica. Like Erica’s previous partner, she is also revealed to be a V mole. After her true identity is discovered, she is tortured and killed by the Resistance.
- Scott Hylands as Father Travis—An elder priest at the same church where Father Jack works. He appears to side with the Visitors in several conversations with Father Jack.
- Lexa Doig as Dr. Leah Pearlman (season 1)—A V doctor posing as Valerie’s human physician. She is also Fifth Column.
- Nicholas Lea as Joe Evans—Erica’s ex-husband, who left her after blood tests revealed that their son, Tyler, could not possibly be his. He tries to reconnect with his wife and son after learning the truth about Tyler’s altered DNA. In season 2, he is caught in a crossfire between FBI agents and the Fifth Column, and is shot and killed.
- Jane Badler as Diana (season 2)—Anna’s mother, who is being held prisoner on the Visitor mothership in a secret prison cell made to resemble their homeworld.[6] This Diana is a completely different character from the one that Badler played in the original 1980s series. She was once Queen until she proposed that the Visitors live in peace with humans. Anna finally overthrew her and imprisoned her for fifteen years. She was eventually rescued in the season 2 finale but rather than escape, she chose to confront her subjects and was killed by Anna as a result.
- Bret Harrison as Sidney Miller (season 2)—an evolutionary biologist, whom Erica tracks down in order to explain the Red Sky.[7] Since then, he has continued to work with the Fifth Column.
- Oded Fehr as Eli Cohn (season 2)—an ex-Mossad agent and the leader of a radical Fifth Column cell, with whom Erica shockingly has a mysterious past. He is killed in a staged hostage crisis after turning over his global contacts as well as leadership of his cell to Erica. Rosenbaum has stated that, “The two of them have something in common that she [Erica] never would have guessed.”[8]
- Jay Karnes as Chris Bolling (season 2)—Erica’s newly assigned FBI partner who trained with her at Quantico. He begins to suspect that Erica may have divided loyalties when it comes to her dedication to bringing down the Fifth Column. In the season 2 finale, he is revealed to be a member of a secret global anti-V cabal known as Project Aries.
- Martin Cummins as Thomas (season 2)—the chief engineer of Anna’s Concordia project, who is temporarily promoted to second-in-command following the shooting of Marcus.
- Ona Grauer as Kerry Eltoff (season 2)—Chad’s co-anchor on Prime Focus, added by their producer to provide opposing viewpoint to Chad’s Visitor-centric reporting. He tricks her into claiming that sources showed a citywide blackout was the result of the unstable Visitor Concordia generator, causing her to be fired for false reporting. However, Anna had revealed to Chad that Kerry’s viewpoints were “dangerous” to Visitor/human relations and would not be tolerated. Therefore, in getting her fired, Chad not only removed her as a threat to his cover but also protected her from Anna’s wrath.
- Marc Singer as Lars Tremont (season 2)—a member of a top-secret organization of high-ranking military and government leaders (called Project Aries) who know more about the Visitors than most and have been secretly preparing for a Visitor attack. Singer also played a leading role in the original 1980s series.[9]
All that I can remember of my dreams from last night is that maybe one dream involved me being a father or someone being a father if that is what my recording said; it was too unclear for me to know for sure.
Another dream possibly involved my job at The BP Library & my female coworker JB was possibly in the dream.
This dream involved me possibly being a detective or an investigator in a fictional city.
Perhaps a male FBI agent with light-color skin came to the city to work on an investigation of one or more unsolved crimes in the city.
He met with a male detective or police officer with light-color skin & I inside a diner to talk about the investigation.
