One of two dreams I had that day. This is the afternoon nap dream.


In the dream, which had a cartoonish video game style, I'm watching a little boy, I think from anchient times, maybe indigenous. He's been tasked with hunting a fox, but something happens. He can't bring himself to do it.

The dream cuts. I don't see details, but I have knowledge that the little boy's family or tribe is gone. Wiped out by some invading force. And by invading, I mean actual alien invasion.

The boy and his fox companion live in a clearing between two large rocks near the ocean. He has some kind of strange wooden bed built into the flat rock floor between the rocks, directly beside the rock closest to the ocean. It's so strange looking. Almost artificial.

I can hear narration, someone talking about the boy and the fox living alone.

The POV changes to first person and I see him run over to the bed and get ready to sleep. It's daylight. He hears a noise in the sky and runs over to the other rock to hide behind it. Looking up, I see objects like planes flying through the sky. They follow some sort of pattern. Some explode, others fly back into a mothership of sorts that looks like a giant woman's face.

Overlaying the dream is visuals from another dream or perhaps another person's existence in this dream. It's a woman who lives in a modern setting under the invasion of the same aliens. She lives in a communal houseand her depression is bad to the point where she has become catatonic. Her enviroment has gotten filthy and no one has the motivation to clean.

THe scene witht the alien crafts plays out a few times in different patterns while the woman and her housemates struggle. The house looks like something formt he 80s, with cheap wooden panels, brown carpet, and brownish linoleum.

At some point, a person (robot? with the same face as the mothership, and black ahir comes into view. I hear a voice and see red pixel text with black outlines appear as it speaks. It says:

"You are in violation of health code _____. Your surroundings have become deplorable and must be cleaned immediately. Seriously, it's getting to be 1999 levels of bad (what does this mean???). You and any citizens living in this domicile will be charged 5 extra _____ a day until the issue is resolved."

The dream ends.


Note: I was able to fully understand the voice and read the text in the dream. I've never been able to read real text in dreams before. It's always been a weird blur or a madeup alphabet.
