Last night was packed with all sorts of odd dreams. Among them, was a dream that I had in four sequential segments (with other dreams intervening between the segments); in other words, I would dream, wake up, go back to sleep, and resume the same dream. I have forgotten most of the first three segments of that particular dream, but the gist was that some advanced off-world society, aliens, had chosen some people in the Lexington, KY area (about a half-dozen adults, and a large group of children) to build.....something....for them, and I was one of them. We (the chosen builders) were being called together, assembled, at the house of one of the chosen in Lexington, and were being prepared for the mission. All sorts of strange things happened to us, including gaining the ability for float or fly through the air.
I remember a bit more about the fourth segment. We (the chosen builders) were supposed to have alerted the international media about the arrival of the parts of the something, and also were supposed to have done a certain thing that would have directed the arriving parts (which were coming in, en masse, from outer space) where to land, but we had not done either. I saw the instreaming parts, from a view in the upper atmosphere, coming in....it looked like they were over the coast of Lake Michigan, which I realized was the wrong spot. The parts had their own consciousness, and they suddenly also realized that they were off course, and instantly made a pair of 90 degree turns to move the 400 miles or so to get back on course over Lexington.
Then I was in the home where the builders were supposed to assemble. One woman in the group, who seemed to know a bit more about what was going on than the rest of us, gathered all of the adult builders together in her living room, and cautioned all of us not to share any of our insights during the construction process, with the aliens. Apparently the aliens had only chosen some humans to help because humans had certain intellectual and conceptual abilities that they (the aliens) did not; but the converse was also true, as the aliens could understand certain things that we humans could not, and only by working together could we build this thing. The aliens, she said, would try to learn what we knew, and if they succeeded, they would gain advantage over us (and change from partners to masters)....they certainly weren't going to share any of their secrets with us. So we had to "play dumb" while working together on the project.
Then, suddenly, the aliens had arrived, and were among us in the house. They were taller than humans and looked odd and disturbing (they were brightly colored and appeared to have exoskeletons, like arthropods), but they had the ability to deflect our gazes, so that if we looked at them directly, we could not see them clearly. We could only get glimpses at them out of the corners of our eyes.
At that point, my radio alarm went off, and I woke up. It would have been interesting to have continued, to see what we built, and how it worked. The dream was quite a bit longer, and much more surreal, than I have made it seem in my recounting.
