alien clone invasion - president steve janiak

dreams from this morning:

the first dream was diabolical. i was part of some organization that cloned people or possibly made clones to create a police force. it was night time. there was a big factory where everything took place. it was dark blue and metal and constructed in a half moon shape. some of the officers were used as security for the plant. they were seen doing patrols inside and outside the perimeter. one female officer i knew well. when i stopped to talk to her she acted strange. then she attacked me. i figured out quickly that it was an alien virus that had taken over her body. there was a firefight and i think she escaped.

after some searching with some additional officers, a male officer attacked us. now i knew the alien had cloned itself inside another and all were at risk. we finally had to destroy the entire cloning factory because the virus was able to spread and take over officers too fast. there were intense amounts of blood and guts, as well as a giant fire where most of the clones in various stages of completion were burned to death. then a huge gunfight at the end where the two alien clones were obliterated into piles of goo via my machine gun. their bits of flesh were squirming around on the ground trying to reconstitute so i had to torch them as well.

i woke up and went to the bathroom.

after falling back asleep, i was in the white house. apparently i had come in as an aide or graphic designer to whoever took over the presidency after trump and pence were tossed in jail. then i got promoted to chief of staff. suddenly the current president (no idea who it was) died. there was no vice-president and congress still couldn't decide on a speaker of the house so through some legal wrangling i became the president of the united states. i was wandering around in tshirts and jeans asking what i had to wear now, since i didn't have any suits. i had a hard time believing it but then it hit me, I PREDICTED THIS when i was i small child! weird.

lots of people trying to tell me what to do and random women suddenly flirting with me. i knew i had to give a big speech on television soon, to calm the nation. but before that could happen, the white house appeared to have a small backyard and some friends were hanging out when a deer, a cougar and a bear all appeared running through. the deer and cougar got away but now the bear was attacking  people. something had to be done, and i was the president, god dammit. there were consultations in rooms full of too much furniture and i decided we couldn't kill the bear. they were going to stun it and relocate it.

then i woke up.

washer & dryer, owl at the window, hugging critters

dream this morning:

i'm back in my house from college, except the porch railings are the twisty black metal kind. i have put all the birds and cats in the bedroom as we are trying to do upgrades to the house. the cats are agitating the birds. i'm explaining this to my wife over the phone and trying to deal with it when i see what the birds are really looking at. through the window is a giant owl. he's perched on top of a brown washer and dryer combo that, apparently, someone just dumped in my driveway. i end the call and get my phone ready to take a photo. the owl is trying to see the other birds through the window and seems curious. normally in a dream my phone won't take any photos, but this time it works. i zoom in and snap a photo, but the photo seems to have a filter turned on that puts a row of yellow flowers on the owl's head. as i'm trying to turn off the filter, the owl flies around to the front porch.

i run to the front room. i can see the owl through the front window now, taking up most of the frame. he is perched on the black porch railings. before i can snap another picture he flies away. as soon as he does, a squirrel appears on the porch. he climbs up the side railing, and a rabbit joins him. they appear somewhat cartoonlike. they are next to each other on the railing, and then hug and smile as i snap several pics. i can't believe what i'm seeing... or that i was able to get photos to prove it.

i walk a block over to where my wife is to show her the photos. the pic of the owl is there, with flowers on its head, and the other critters hugging. when i pull up the owl pic, it turns out it's a video. you can hear the owl growling a low growl. i explain that someone dumped a washer and dryer in the driveway. how could i let that happen?

we walk back to the house and there is now a trailer in the driveway (next to the washer and dryer) loaded down with building materials and packages. it starts to rain. i see there are boxes with vinyl records and other packages from the mailman so grab them to head inside.

then i woke up.

riding mowers, dirty totes - tree blocking the landin pad

dream this morning:

i rode a riding lawnmower across town to a hardware store. someone had abandoned a chihuahua outside the store so i decided to take it home with me. the parking lot was being blocked off for some sort of event parking but i convinced the hillbilly to let me run in for 5 minutes, as i only needed to pick up some plastic totes.

once in the store, there was a garage area that was dark and full of junk. i passed through that with the dog and after a few minutes found they were out of clean totes, only had dirty, cobweb and mud covered ones. they were discounted so i bought them. as i got back to the garage area, i found another riding lawnmower, this one was all beat up, and it had boxes on it with old comics and other unrelated junk. the price included all these other items so i bought it also.

as i went outside they were arguing over my other mower, which was now a standard pushmower. i came out and diffused the situation, but i needed to figure out how to ride this old, rickety mower covered in boxes, along with my dirty totes and other push mower. as i was trying to discuss this with someone there, i got separated from both mowers somehow. i also knew i was going to be in hot water for bringing a bunch of junk home and a small dog. by now i realized i didn't know where the mowers were and i was starting to stress out when my wife woke me up.

after i fell back asleep, i had a dream that someone built a high rise building across the street from me, with a landing pad for aircraft on the roof. i looked out the window and a huge plane was trying to make a hard incline from about 50 feet from the ground, clipping some tree branches in the process. i called and complained. someone said they were going to have to cut the tree down because it was blocking these aircraft from landing. as i was on the phone a space shuttle did the same maneuver and clipped some branches before landing on the now empty roof pad. the rest of the dream was me fighting for keeping this old, tall tree with the city, who wanted to chop it down.
