I dreamt.
I was in my backyard, pruning trees. I was doing a bad job though. I pruned one of my trees so much that only one branch remained. I knew my partner would be mad with me later because I ruined the tree. I then heard a low flying airplane. I looked up and saw a strange, red oblong object in the sky. It had four large thrusters in the back and it was moving towards my house but it was going super slow.
The object landed in my next-door neighbor’s backyard. I saw that it was a giant, red Oster blender. Two countdowns in red digital text started on its black screen where the buttons were. The top countdown started at 00:05:00, a smaller countdown below that in smaller text showed 00:00:10. I was super freaked out and thought “What the fuck is happening? Is this real? Am I dreaming or is this actually happening?”
I pulled out my video camera and started filming the giant blender. I was scared for my life and wanted to run and hide. At the same time, I wanted to document what was happening and if this actually was an alien invasion, hiding wouldn’t do much anyway. I started going up my hill to get a better view of the blender.
When the smaller countdown reached zero, it reset to 00:00:35 and the larger countdown reset to 00:10:00. When the smaller countdown reached zero again, it reset to 00:01:25 and the larger countdown reset to 00:35:00. This kept going on until both the countdowns reached 35:35:35.
My dream leapt forward in time by decades. I was looking at the world map, it was radically different now. Someone was explaining what had happened to the world. When both countdowns had reached zero, an alien invasion started. The aliens exterminated 98% of the United States’ population via nukes. The U.S. became a place of eternal winter and the people that were left lived very far from each other.
Due to the nuclear activity, the land bridge between Russia and Alaska rose out of the sea. Russia then annexed the North American continent (Canada, the United States and Mexico.) Canada was renamed to ‘Northern Russia’ and the U.S. and Mexico were renamed to ‘Southern Russia.’
Africa, the Middle East and Asia performed a mass spell sacrifice to appease the aliens and make peace with them. The aliens sank most of Africa, the Middle East and Asia until there were a few large islands left. Then, aliens left them in peace.
The aliens colonized Europe and enslaved the people there. The people were mostly kept as pets. Australia was left alone. The aliens wanted nothing to do with Australia.
I was then transported to a bunker somewhere in Southern Russia, roughly where Denver, Colorado used to be. Due to large amounts of nuclear fallout, humans had mutated into glowing, green rats and continued to live after their bodies died. I was meeting with a small band of rats who created a resistance. There was a mixture of full bodied rats, rats in various stages of decay, and skeleton rats.The aliens monitored them and used Bullet Bills to scour the alleyways and squash any sign of the rats rising up.
I awoke.
