I've had a new recurring dream two or three times this year. Memory of when they occurred is vague because I get the feeling that in addition to the times I've remembered it, the dream has also come and gone maybe a couple of times with no memory upon awakening. It's an uneasy, helpless kind of feeling that it imparts.
Basically, the dream goes like this: it's night time and everything is "normal" and then these things appear in the sky. They are moving lights but are extraordinary in terms of their shapes and the visual effects they produce. They sort of flash by. I think they are vehicles. Anyway, when they come, there are lots of them, they move across at what seems like somewhat low, threatening altitude -- they are quick but the passing of all of them takes many minutes or perhaps several hours. Their appearance is otherworldly and produces fear in everyone every time, not of the unknown but of threat, of death. You see, there is the distinct sensation within the dream that the people are living with these (ir)regular visitations -- they've come before many times and their coming is unpredictable, but each time is both cause for and a reminder of fear.
There is a sense that they are controlling the planet and can destroy anything at any time. A sense of living under disapproving watch or virtual imprisonment also pervades. There's also a sense that there is a distinct purpose to the visitations -- associated with punishment -- some purpose that results in suffering for some people.
I'm not prone to such dreams, and I can see how easily they might arise from all this stuff I read about aliens coming to "save" us. But, thought I'd mention it here "on the network" in case it sounds similar to anyone else's dreams.
