Crazy Dreams

Hudson from the movie AliensI have crazy dreams. I’m not sure if something’s wrong with me, but a recurring theme in my dreams involves my role as a junior military officer whose army is caught in an epic struggle against aliens. Not necessarily against the aliens from the Alien movie series, or E.T., or Close Encounters… just whatever are the aliens-du-jour. Isn’t that crazy?

Granted I watch a lot of sci-fi and war-type movies… and that combined with being a former military officer probably embeds battle-laden dream seeds into my psyche. About a third of the time my weapons don’t work properly and about two-thirds of the time I’m terribly outnumbered. Sometimes the aliens I encounter are familiar, as from a popular video-game. Other times my enemies are human-ish.

For example, last night (after watching several episodes of Grey’s Anatomy) I dreamed that I was in some type of advanced sci-fi medical exchange program where I had to travel to this interstellar university for medical classes… and my classmates were characters from Grey’s Anatomy. Anyways… it wasn’t long before the Empire (yes, the one from Star Wars) attacked with Stormtroopers and heavy vehicles. For some reason most of the battle took place in the woods… not the forest of the Endor moon, but rather something more like Little House on the Prairie.

    Likely, these dreams are prophetic. :-)
