Dream Ledger for Me not You

I was on some sort of mission/scavenger hunt with a friend of mine IWL. We went to a run-down looking building in the middle of a rainforest to look for an alien artifact. I don't remember specifically whether or not if that was our only goal. Anyways, we are searching the building for awhile when we find a door that lead to a very rickety lift style elevator. It looked like something you'd see in Borderlands or something. When we rode it down into the room below us, It was shaking all over the place violently and we thought it was going to break. It didn't, and when we reached the bottom we found that the room was full of strange looking beetles. They were roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, bright orange, and had a spinning propeller-like arm on one side. My friend said they were called fire-eaters and the aliens engineered them to absorb radiation from the experiments they were conducting. He searched for the alien artifact while I played with these strange creatures. I woke up shortly after.
