dream

i was living in some kind of future. we had found a really old fossil group encased in a capsule. they had opened it, ooed at it, and walked away. i had looked in and found a shell like a dessicated snail shell (just like the one on our window ledge in waking life). my scanner went crazy for signs of hostile intelligence. i practically dropped it out of surprise and fear. i ran it back to the capsule then inside to tell everyone. i realized that i was wearing a child size body and that no one was paying attention to me as a result. two of our group were in the middle of falling in love. and another i had shown the scanner to was trying to help me convince them to bottle the thing in the capsule back up. 'it's some kind of hostile alien, guys, and if we don't do something right now, it's going to get out!' i fairly screamed. the two love birds were saying their sweet nothings. i kept nervously looking outside. 'look, just because i'm wearing this body does not mean i don't know what's up!' i glanced outside and a sleek, glossy black, slightly smaller than a man sized creature popped out of the capsule and ran onto a nearby bus which left immediately. 'did you see that?' i asked the one guy. he hadn't. cat's out of the bag.

in a later dream i was able to fly for short distances. i seemed to have some sort of helicopter, though i never saw the body of it, it was simply that i would lift up for a period, then come back down. sort of like in a video game.
