Recently I watched a film called Red Planet. It wasn't a terribly good film, but it seemed to influence this dream. In my dream, I was on Mars with my family, doing some kind of expedition to reveal the cause of something (I don't know what). ... I was in some kind of ancient temple. The sky was a red to yellow gradient, and I was climbing up to some temple entrance. ... I finally entered the temple entrance, and I was walking down spiral stairs to some catacombs. There I confronted some alien warrior woman who wanted to conquer the planet (or something). She kidnapped some girl who was constantly trying to give me advice (not clear what kind of advice). I (somehow) beat the warrior woman. (or not?) ... Seems like our mission on Mars was a success, so we decided to go home. But there was a catch: We had to take off with the rocket in 30 minutes, because there is going to be a huge nuclear explosion that tears the planet apart. So we started packing our stuff. I really wanted to save my computer, so I was packing it in, but my mother's friend (who also came with us) packed in his drying racks where I wanted to put the computer. So I was arguing with him, wasting valuable time. We all wanted to save as many possessions as possible. Eventually, we wasted enough time that the 30 minutes have passed. I started wondering "Hmm... the explosion should come right about now... Maybe there won't be an explosion?", and I looked out the window and saw a huge red mushroom cloud rising. I said "O SHI-" as the mushroom cloud was rapidly expanding towards our location, and I could feel the immense heat burning my skin, and I could hear the roar of the explosion. I suddenly woke up.
