Wandering Dimensions of the Mind

This is copied from my old dream journal, it's one of the only ones in there worth putting up. It's also the longest non-lucid I've ever recorded.

Dream Lucid Notes/Observations

I'm in military training, and not doing well, when an alarm sounds. aliens attack the planet we're on. (These are basically xenomorph aliens, like the movies, but with some minor differences in appearance and behavior) Me, my best friend James, and a few others are left behind while the military goes across the ocean to fight. They never come back.

After a while the aliens attack the complex (a huge industrial/military/business complex of glass and steel that goes right out into the ocean) en mass and we hold them off at the stairs with 2 laser rifles and some regular guns. They back us into a corner before going into some sort of healing stasis.

James feeds our pet shark before going out for a swim with it to look for help.Meanwhile I go up to the 3rd floor and salvage some laser pistols, grenades, flash-bangs, and energy cells. On the way back I meet some people and invite them to join us.

While they're settling in I take a second shark and go out to look for James. While swimming I spot a Mossy Shark (a giant vegetarian shark named for the long trail of algae/moss that grow from its head) I try to tame it, but only get to pet it. I can't find james, but when I get back he's returned.

There is now an alien spider (maybe a large facehugger, I'm not sure) egg that one of the new guys messes with and wakes up the aliens. A few people die, and I get acid burns, but we cripple the queen, putting them back into stasis. Unable to defend our position any longer, we leave.

As we're going we meet more people, all gathering in a theater to watch the new Batman movie. I tell everyone it's a bad idea and try to get them to come upstairs and bunker down.James and a few others agree, but the guys carrying my laser rifle convinces half to go watch the movie. one of the women in the group gives me the box of supplies and apologizes. I try to get my rifle back, but the guy won't give it to me. So I leave, yelling "I saved your life!" at him.

On my way upstairs to find James and the others I continue to salvage, finding a bag of peanut butter and apple sauce in a stairwell. As I'm leaving some guy in a trench coat calls my name and tries to stop me.I go to kick him off the stariwell, and as he's falling I wake up.

I drew some pictures to illustrate, if I can get my scanner working I'll upload them...
