let me start off by saying, i haavnt had/been able to remember a dream ive had in years.. literally years. So when i woke up this morning i was running for a notebook. Id also like to point out, I am new to the forum, as it would have been pointless for me to be posting here a week ago due to my lack of dreaming. anyways here is everything i remember about last nights dream.

i was sitting in the back yard with 3 or 4 people(not sure whos back yard, not sure who the people are). none of them i remember who they were - i think they were just randos. I remember i was out on some sort of swing type thing with 3 people one of them being the 2 kids i was with's father. we all witnessed an alien craft that looked makesh+ift - made ou+t of wood and the dome part that was over his head was like thick clear plastic(like those clear plastic zi[pper 'bags' people put sweaters in in the spring. as soon as it landed i ran over to greet him and the visitor came out of his craft and greeted me. no one else who was in the dream before came up. the visitor was short, like maybe 6or 7 inches tall.
it came with me with little talking. i said hello, it sorta waved and then it was in my hand and i ran back to the swing to show people. only one person was there, the kids dad. he was amazed. i dont remember what i went to do but i had him hold it, i went in the house and noticed the one of the 2 kids(which at this point in the dream i recognized as a recent ex) was sleeping on the couch with her eyes open. when i came back outside, the dad and visitor were nowhere to be found. i went back to the room and the dad was laying in his bed with the cover's pulled up high smiling(sleeping w eyes open), while the visitor was in a large fish tank with a light and cover and some things scattered about, with heavy objects on it probably to keep it from escaping. the creature was 'skipping' from one end of the cage to the other. jumping up and hitting its head on the cover making a loud noise - it didnt even notice me enter the room.
this is all that i remember, i then woke up. the weird thing to mention is that i havnt remembered or had a dream in years...and when i do, i wake up all happy to tell my gf "hey, i remembered a dream last night!!!" but then even before i can spit those words out, i usually forget waht it was about. not this case. i woke up and remembered everything. walked around the house thinking about the dream for a good hour before i decided i should write it down. i cant help but think that this means something. i just wish i remembered it more clearly, or that i hadnt woken up when i did.

i remember when finding the alien, i was ecstatic - i had no feeling of fear more like, i was at ease with the fact that this was happening

the only emotion i remember feeling during the dream was excitement.

I have long believed in aliens and thought that many other people knew and that we were being kept "in the dark". personally i dont think this dream has to do with actual aliens, but that the vision of seeing an alien signifies something that is out of balance in my life. I guess to tell you about my life right now, would be pretty lack luster. im in between jobs and have been looking for a few months. i live with my gf and her parents and weve been looking for a spot for a long time, but cant due to lack of credit and due to the fact that we have 2 dogs. if there is anything else i could provide to help you analyze please feel free to ask. I'm not sure what im looking for in having this analyzed, I just think this dream muse have an important meaning for it to be remembered when every other morning i wake up with a blank mind. (which im not sure is healthy either...)
