Alien Invasion

I was at my boyfriend’s house (I don’t have a boyfriend irl, but this boy was really sweet and I really loved him). His house was very old, filled with antiques. I think he was living with his grandparents. We were discussing the recent alien invasion and trying to make sense of it. Essentially, there were reports of people saying their loved ones were forgetting their memories and their passions. They would become blank slates. Then, they’d walk into this bright white light and disappear. It was scary. It had happened to my boyfriend’s parents, and his grandparents were starting to act forgetful and not know the answers to questions. I remember hugging him and feeling his sweatshirt to try to support him. Eventually, it got to the point where I was back at my house and in my front yard. I was walking alongside my grandfather (who died irl). I was asking him questions about our family, but he didn’t know any of the answers. I think I asked him if he liked to play tennis (because he did), and he said no. Suddenly, the bright white light came from a tree. He stopped listening to me and started to head towards it. I was screaming at him to stop, but he disappeared with the light. I was still outside, looking around. Tears started to stream down my face as I realized I was alone. No one was around. My family members were gone. I started screaming and sobbing for my sister, I was calling her name over and over again and walking around the house looking for her. She never showed up, and I fell to the ground in sobs. I was living in my house alone, not sure of what to do. One day, my mom, dad, and sister just walked in through the front door. I started crying and ran up into my dad’s arms, relieved to see them again. They had their memories, but couldn’t remember what happened when they were gone. It seemed like everyone who had disappeared was coming back. No one knew why. I visited my boyfriend, and we talked about how their was recent odd phenomenon amongst the animals. Animals were beginning to develop human traits (I think) and becoming much smarter. People were starting to think that the aliens took traits from the people that abducted and put them into the animals. I think we saw a giraffe in a business suit. The animals also became meaner. They didn’t like humans for making animals suffer. However, it started happening again. People were forgetting their memories. There was a movement going around that if people began to resist the aliens and become very passionate about their lives, it was harder for the aliens to take them. For example, one day I put on a rocker chic outfit and started playing my dad’s guitar. It made me feel alive. It wasn’t something I would usually do, but I felt passionate about trying something new. I remember walking up to a little boy at a mall, and I told him “resist the aliens. Just do what you want, and be yourself. Be passionate!” He and his little sister smiled at me, but his mother gave me a disapproving look. The dream took a turn. My boyfriend and I were in this mansion. A war against the aliens had started, and we were hiding while trying to collect resources. The whole situation turned into a Mario Game, and we even found Princess Peach in the mansion. We had to collect gems to power-up and everything. The plot line was a little confusing, but I think the characters found their personalities changing based on the power-ups they got (maybe due to the aliens) and they were trying to stay their normal selves. But someone with a changed personality became evil, and then we had to try to take their power-ups away from them. The last scene in this dream was that I was out on the ocean on a boat. One of my crew mates sent me a video of dolphins being captured by a group of people to be taken to another country and eaten. While watching the video, it became the scene in front of me, and it was devastating to watch. An ENORMOUS net captured so many dolphins that were trying to escape. I was furious, and I understood why the animals hated us. ***I’m reading the Fifth Wave right now, so my dream is probably inspired by that. And I love animals, my job involves dolphins.
