I dreamt that I was shopping at some sort of odd "at the moment," one time at this location sale. I was with a coworker (DA) and we were looking at some items on racks in an old strip mall building. There was nothing glamorous about the place, cold florescent lighting, white linoleum floors that were scuffed up and dirty, metal rolling racks and workers that looks more like they were just there to unload and reload with no customer service, no place to try on things and once you buy it ... it is yours. I thought the prices would be cut to maybe 50%, but the prices were at dirt level. $40 and up items for $6 and $9 at most. Initially I wasn't going to get anything because it seemed like too much effort to find a wanted item, but at that price, I thought I should try to find something. We were both looking at slips to wear under form fitting dresses. I saw one at my size and one a bit smaller. I knew my current size wasn't where I would stay, so thought about buying the smaller one. Hmm... Then we left.
I was then outside... walking through the city which seemed interesting in that it had a unique walkable layout, with different turns and corners and sizes of buildings and parks. It was fun because I didn't have any preconceived notions about what would be around the next corner. It made it more like an adventure or looking through a new picture book. Then I was near a boat along the river and a house... I was in the house at one point and there were a couple of fluffy cats and a dog. I think that the cats fur was matted and there was something about going to a vet to get it shaved, but there was a better way that was cat friendly and you could comb it out slowly. It all seemed nice enough, good news and ideas, new ... a lot of newness.
Then I was in the boat with people and there were a couple of other boats with people in them that I was with, small boat though that could fit 2 to 4 people. I enjoyed being in the topsy turvyness of the water and the motion of the people rocking the boat. Then I realized it wasn't just the people and the water. I noticed plants floating in the water... think a large aloe vera bobbing along or something that looked like an artichoke but a little more alien. I watched as the plants would fall from the sky making a splash in the water. It was fun and exciting to see this happening until I pondered... wait... what is happening? Where are these coming from and what are they for? They were not coming from an aircraft... they were coming from some place else... like out of thin air. Aliens were coming. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but they were setting up. Plants seemed harmless and interesting. We wouldn't kill them... they would grow and set up the environment they needed when they did land. This idea in my head seemed to spread to others ideas in their heads, because people started panicking. People were running around gathering supplies, boarding up their windows.. And either time passed quickly or the aliens decided to come right after the plants, because now they were coming. No one saw them but they could feel they were here. I was with my people... not in reality knowing any of them, but we bonded. We ran into that house that was partly that strip mall building and started closing up shop. We knew that we had to protect our group and avoid opening the windows or doors at all costs. We had enough supplies, and so we started nailing the windows closed, making rules about no lights at night and limited noises, and not to let anyone in. One of the men was getting sheetrock from the building and making sure any crack or opening would only show a person another wall. It would be a building within a building and we would be safe.
