THE DREAM - I see the clouds swirling, like in the film 'Independence Day' or 'War of the Worlds' and the great large and a few small ufos come billowing out. Maybe five. (not sure of exact number). Imagine looking at a tv screen and the left and right hand side are misty with fog. The space in the middle is in the shape of an upside down V. The image in that space is a green mountain in the distance. People are swiftly moving towards it, they need to get to higher ground. That will save them... if they are in danger however, I'm not sure if the UFO's pose any threat at this stage.

There is a man. He looks human but I know is not however he has told me that although he is not human, he is not the same as the aliens inside the ufo's.

The sky is clear of clouds but overcast. I see the ufo's again, they are close to the ground. I see that there are several distinctly different shapes. Again, maybe about five or so.

The man takes my hand and we lift swiftly, off the ground. We fly through the atmosphere and are now in outer space. As one would expect, it is black except for stars twinkling and lots of planets. He is pointing out all the different planets to me and how there are so many more than we could imagine. I look for earth to get my bearings, I think I see it but am not sure, it is not where I think it should be. We are facing each other, we are about to have sex, his eyes glow golden for a second. We have sex, and that's it!

ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. Aliens can represent something very different in our lives. Aliens can appear in dreams if we are about to go to college for the first time or do anything for the first time. Its a metaphor for something very different that we have never experienced before. It could easily represent the dreamers first meeting with her half siblings.
2. The dream revolves around an assessment of threats. The dreamer is wondering how much of a threat the alien poses. This is a symbol for real life.
3. Having sex is like a coming together. It could easily represent any close connection especially intimate. Its like a moment of truth.
