I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT (ALIEN ATTACHMENT EDITION)

[defrog]

I am riding in a car with a guy named Brett, who has a reputation for dangerous driving. We are on a winding road headed down a steep hill towards the center of the city. Just as I’m thinking about Brett’s tendency to take turns too fast, he speeds towards a 90º turn at the edge of a cliff and tries to drift, but we go into a skid and go straight through the safety barrier and over the cliff.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, convinced that we’re going to die.

Then somehow I become aware of an alien presence – something from a previous dream where small, winged, insectoid aliens use humans as symbiotic hosts by attaching hives to our bodies. On the outside, the hives look like elaborate ornamental wooden knobs.

I open my eyes and I am lying in bed. I realize the car crash was a dream. Then I realize an alien hive has been bolted onto the sole of my foot. I hear buzzing in the sheets.

Little alien inchworms start crawling out of the hive. They move fast, and I try to catch them before they crawl into my ear. I want to get the hive off my foot, but I need to find a screwdriver.

And then I woke up.

Buzz buzz buzz,
