I started out at a theater, and I was with Doug (from Mercedes) and Emily (my wife), and we were watching one of the Nightmare On Elm Street movies. I think that we were actually late, and had only gotten there to see the tail end of it, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I remember seeing Freddy Kreuger there on the screen, and his gloved hand was going nuts, stabbing him over and over. It was a bit like the arm of the first giant robot in the Incredibles. He was just going around himself, stabbing into his torso over and over, very quickly and repeatedly.
The next thing I remember was that we were leaving the theater. We were talking about the movie a bit in the lobby of the theater, and then we went outside. While we were out there, we were looking around for Doug's car (the Q) I think it took is a little bit to find it, because it wasn't where we had originally parked it.
After we found it, the next thing I knew was that we were back at our house on Indigo Ridge. It was night time still, and we decided to go for a walk down through the unfinished part of the neighborhood just down the street. They had just framed the last few houses on the right side of the street, and there were a few framed straight ahead on the left side of the bend. (we were walking south on Indigo Ridge) As we were walking, I realized that Em was no longer with us, but Teresa (aka "Pete"), from work, was.
While we were walking along, I was looking up into the sky ahead of us. I started seeing stars and such moving around all strangely, and in some places they looked like they moved in a shower like formation, and other places they burst out from a central spot, and other times they spiraled around themselves, hundreds at a time. I said something about that meaning that there were aliens there in those areas of the sky. Doug and Teresa just looked at me like I was nuts, but I realized that they hadn't looked up into the sky at all. They were walking in front of me, and were now facing north, away from the light display.
I pointed up in the sky in front of them (about a 45 degree angle from the horizon) and said, "Look! There!" They both turned around and looked up, finally seeing what I had been seeing. They were amazed, and somewhat scared, I think. We continued walking, though. We went down to the end of the street, watching the stars moving around all the way down there.
We got to the area between the curve in the road and the stop sign, and we decided to go look in one of the houses. I think we may have even split up and decided to each look in a different house. They were all two story houses there. I think that at the last moment, I didn't really go inside of one of the houses, but I stayed outside, watching the stars, and Doug and Pete went into two houses that were side by side. After a minute or two, Pete came back out the house she was in, and we waited a short bit for Doug. He didn't come back out. We looked in the house, or through the house, since it was all still just framing, and he wasn't in there anywhere to be found.
Pete and I decided to go to the stop sign and turn right, heading north on Sierra Ridge Lane. As we got back up to the area where people were living near the north end of the street, I think we heard some sort of radio going. It was saying something about the aliens, I believe, and we thought that Doug had been nabbed by them while looking in the house. We rounded the corner at Tuscan View and turned right. We were talking, but I don't remember specifically what we were saying. We were talking about this whole thing with Doug, but that's about all I know. At one point, I think Doug just magically showed back up. He said that he had seen one of the aliens, and he went and hid. He described the alien to us, and in usual dream fashion, as he described it, I saw it as if it were there.
He said that he saw it coming for him through some of the framed walls of the house he was looking at. It was completely black, and had a completely spherical head that looked like a black marble bowling ball, and it's right hand was just the same. It looked human otherwise, dressed in a black body suit that allowed all the muscles to be seen. I think there was something about it's mouth being on the sphere of the right hand, and even though there were no features on the head, there was some sort of appearance of anger, like the ball had ridges in it that made it look like a grimace or something. Then, while seeing this, the whole description turned into a top-down view, as if I were looking at everything from 50 feet up in the air.
I was over the framed house, and it looked like the original Zelda game. Link came up from the bottom of the "screen" and into the room that the framed house created in my view. On the right hand side was the alien, but now it was shorter, more squatty, on all fours, and it's head was much bigger. I think that Doug was actually supposed to be Link, and he went up with his sword and his bow and arrows, and he wound up dealing the alien/monster a quick defeat. Then he went through the door that the monster was protecting and went into the next room.
Suddenly everything was back to normal perspective, but I was in a completely fantasy setting. We were now in some stone tower, although I was no longer with Doug and Pete. I was now with Professor McGonogal, Neville Longbottom, and Hermione Granger, and, I think Harry Potter. There was something about a giant wool blanket there, and someone, or some monster was coming for us. We were supposed to use this blanket, allow it to get sucked into this large opening in the wall that was about waist high to head high, and about 6 feet wide, while we held onto the edges of the blanket, climb into the pocket created by the blanket in the opening, and then allow it to carry us away from the tower. I think the monster was a cross between a life size version of the squatty alien and Lord Voldimort.
For some reason we kids didn't want to get into that blanket and go anywhere. We didn't want to leave the Professor there (and another adult that was there, like maybe another professor, but I'm unsure of who it was) to fight the monster that was coming. Also, we had never used this method of travel, so we didn't feel comfortable doing it. Professor McGonogal urged us to do as she said, and I think one of the other kids guessed that this form of travel was a variation of the Flu Network for larger group travel. The professor told the guesser that they were correct, and to please hurry.
So we got into the blanket in the opening, and we allowed it to take us. But we had other plans. We decided to only allow it to suck us up about 6 feet into the whole. There, we waited for the monster to show up. It finally did, and I remember getting out of the whole, and seeing everyone firing magic at it to try to disable it or even kill it. Despite the fact that we were supposed to be gone, and yet here we were running around this giant round room trying to help destroy this monster, the professors didn't seem upset at us. More over, they seemed happy that we had stayed to help fight because they couldn't have done it themselves otherwise. Either right before or right after we destroyed the monster or we ran away out of the tower without destroying it (I'm unsure which), the dream ended.
