Oh man, I had an epic dream the other day.

I was at high school again (not my school in particular, but I knew it was a school), and something tragic had happened. They were relaying the news anchor over the intercom so everyone was kept in the loop. Apparently some alien ships had been flying over a few major cities. The people around me had all the ranges of emotion – some were excited to see aliens, some were scared, some were nervous, etc.

At one point we had to evacuate the school (like a fire drill) out into the big parking lot. As we were walking outside, one of the ships went flying overhead, at a pretty low altitude. It looked kinda like one of the X-wings from Star Wars, but with a huge laser cannon on the front. I made the remark “They don’t look peaceful to me, look at that huge cannon! hhahah”

The intercom outside was still broadcasting the news anchor’s words. One had just landed in Washington D.C. This was the point where everyone’s questions would be answered – were they hostile? Were we all about to die? Were they here to give us space cake?

Then I woke up, and The Day The Earth Stood Still was on TV, and I realized that this news anchor whose voice had been playing over the speakers was the news anchor in the movie, during the part right before the ship landed.

I had a dream of a modern version of a part of this movie. Pretty awesome.
