This is the first dream i have had in a long time It starts out in an asian resturant. I am with my parents. In the restuarant, I feel as if I am in my mid 20s, but for the rest of the dream, I am about same age I am now (16). We are talking when all of a sudden buildings just start getting destroyed. The buildings appear as if missles or something like that is hitting them at the base. Many fall. They appear they are from NY, but I am still in Oakland. It jumps to me on the street. I am getting a close up view of all the buildings falling. People are not even moving, they are just watching the buildings fall. Jumps to me in my house, with my dad and sister. We know that there are aliens here, but I do not know how I knew. I close all the blinds. My dad turns on the tv. The sound is quiet, but I still try to get him to turn it off. We start to hear electric saw like noises, and then our back door opening. We go out the side door and walk to our backyard. We see the door is open, and I ask my dad if I should use this shovel that is right next to me. He says yes and we enter the house from the back. We slowly creep in, and then I hear a noise from my dad's room. We all stop and wait. Eventually a alien does come out, and it looks just like the ones in The Fifth Element. I hit it with my shovel and it is instantly dead. We run upstairs and I enter the kitchen. I can see shadows of more aliens trying to get in out side door. I go to my room for a second and come back out. There are two aliens in my living room, and my dad has one in a full nelson and is pointing the gun at the other one. I walk in and take the gun from the second alien. For som reason I shoot him, and then shoot the other one. We wait for a bit., and then two mroe start to come in the side. I lay down to shoot them, and I only has two shots left, but the gun is like a double barreled shotgun, although it shoots lasers. I lay down to shoot the aliens, but i point the gun parallel to the ground. Even though I do that, my scope is right on its head. I shoot one then the other, but for some reason the do not die. I then stand up and eject the cartriges and pull out two more. I seem to know how the gun works, and I load it very quickly, and then right before I kill them, I ask to make a deal. Obviously they do not want to (or just dont understand me), so I kill them both. I go back to sit on my couch, and we hear more russtling outside our side door. I aim the gun there, but a person comes in. Its my friend from school named kristin, and she has on a white blouse. she runs in. I ask her is garret (her boyfriend) is dead. she says no, but adam and jordan are (two good friends). I then ask her if chris is dead, and she says yes also. I then ask her how she knows, but she just says, "i just know, I just know." Also kepe in mind I seem to think I have had this dream twice, though I do not remember when I had it the first time.

In many cultures, the Rites of Passage for young men is for them to both inflict and endure violence, and this is reflected even in our dreams. Alien threats and our cities under attack are simply the thematic context in which you can come forth in the Dream as a Hero.

Hello from nearby Fremont! This dream is pretty simple, social reform. It's probably an external influence pressing on your life, but a form a change and adulthood, and probably onto your surrounding society. The confusing part is the aliens coming in through the backdoor, suggesting a hidden avenue and secrecy, perhaps poverty. I'm guessing it is not authority that is changing you but some social phenomenon in the streets. I have no idea what.
