So, I woke up from the most vivid nightmare I've ever had and the only one I've had since I was about three.

It started off with my mom and I walking into Wal-Mart. As we were walking in among the small crowd of people I saw the alien from the movie "Aliens" slip inside among the people. It was Christmas or something because it was snowing. My mom wandered off somewhere in Wal-Mart so I walking around and I knew Alien was there and stalking me. I ran to find my mom after I told someone at Wal-Mart about Alien. People were starting to freak. I was like "Mom, we have to go. NOW." We left and were almost to the car when Mom turned back to get the stuff she had left inside. I followed her to the doors trying to get her to just forget about it but she went inside and grabbed what looked like blankets and we got back the car ok. There was no sign of Alien until we were in the car and about to leave. I saw Alien in another car as we drove away and he followed us in his car. As we were driving on the highway I looked over at the window and noticed immediately there was this blue liquid on the side of the car and the window. It mixed with snow as it dripped down the side of the car and I'm like "Shit, it's acid!!" So I somehow managed to wipe it away with one of the many napkins we keep in the car. We were still driving and suddenly Alien landed on the hood of the car and managed to crack the window.

Suddenly I was back at Wal-Mart but it wasn't exactly Wal-Mart. Alien was stalking me around again and the place was deserted. There was a part about the prick real-estate dude from the actual "Aliens" and he was flying around somehow and couldn't get himself to land no matter how hard he tried 'cause he was trying to get away from Alien. The scene changed to more of a place like the ship thing the people had been on in the movie and Alien was after me once again.

I was wandering down this hallway and I saw this room or gathering space with a bunch of business people in it, totally calm and talking about something or other, I didn't catch exactly what. I passed that room several times. I turned down a different hallway and there was what looked kind of like a different breed of a baby alien on the floor. The closest comparison I can draw is it's body was kind of like Dino from "The Flintstones" and it was actually kind of cute. I started to pet it and it got this playful look of contentment but for some reason I kicked it a ways down the hall. I ran after it and it growled at me when I tried to pet it again but eventually let me pet it and it got that contented kitten look. I heard Alien nearby and I took off, trying to be as quiet as I could. My tennis shoes didn't make very much noise thankfully. I encountered these bug-like things and I squished one on the floor because it was about to attack me. I ducked down this other hallway and there was a person there, screaming in agony because a Bug was attached to his hand doing god knows what to him. I finally managed to squish it but I don't know if it killed him or not.

I finally found the office area and dove in through the opening to get in it. All the people looked surprise that I was there. It seemed sort of like a lounge combined with a board room. Everyone was seated in a circle in these comfy chairs. A white-haired man asked me what I was doing there. I started screaming and crying that I wanted to home and I needed to get out of here NOW, that everyone need to get out NOW. A guy in a big plush armchair on the other side of the room started making some kind of proposition about slogan ideas or something as if he hadn't even noticed I was there or heard a word I said. He was saying something about food and this awesome place and asking his business partner really cheerfully what he was having for lunch. I turned back to the white-haired man, crying and begging him to take me home. He said "Ok, I'll drive you home in a few minutes." I turned around because I suddenly heard Mr. Lunch Guy screaming and saw a Bug latched onto his hand. I tried to pry it off and it cut my hand open. Again I squished it but was too late, the guy was dead. I turned back to the white-haired man only to see him dead. I looked around the room and everyone was dead, either maimed or looking as if they'd had the life drained from them so they looked kind of like zombie-mummy type things. I just started running for dear life out of that room, tears streaming down my face. I don't remember if my hand was still bleeding or not. In my head I started saying "Please god let this be a dream. Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

I woke up shortly after that point to see my white ceiling. My first thought was that I was still dreaming and was somehow in a med lab. I finally looked around and saw all my dorm stuff. I called Steff, crying because I was still afraid. That dream just terrified me. It felt so real. Eventually Steff got me calm enough to sleep again and I did stop crying after a few minutes.

What made this even more scary is that I haven't had a nightmare since I was about 3, like I said before. Also, for those who don't know or have forgotten, I never remember dreams. I basically go through the night without dreaming. This dream was so incredibly vivid it was unbelievable and the fact that it was a nightmare...I don't know. It's just really scary. Yeah, some people may say this is just a silly dream, but not to me. So yeah...that's my nightmare.
