Tralfamadorians tested my IQ last night...
Had an incredible alien dream last night. I love it when I wake up after a dream feeling like I've just watched a great movie, only I was in it. It must be the same feeling that Russel Crowe gets after watching Gladiator or Denzel gets when screening Man On Fire...
I was driving down the road at night when I see a grouping of five lights fly through the sky in front of me. I look off in the direction that the lights went and see 3 different sets of lights, each in a pentagon shape. The 3 groupings are darting all across the sky in impossible patterns and then they form into a triangle and a large ball of fire ignites in the middle of them. The ball of fire then shoots into the sky and out of sight. At some point I have pulled my car over and made my way out of the car and am staring up into the sky alone for miles in each direction. after a few minutes the ball of fire comes back from space and goes back in the middle of the triangle, hovers for a minute, then shoots back up again.
(In my dream) I wake up the next day feeling disoriented and much like I am hung-over. I slowly begin to remember the lights, feeling as if it was very real, however dismissing it as a very surreal dream. Later that day I was watching the local news and they are talking about a meteorite that appeared to reverse it's direction. Locals reported seeing a meteorite fall from the sky, then go back into the sky, then fall again towards Earth. I call up some friends and tell them what I think I saw, but no one believes me. So, later that night my friend and I are watching football on TV and the ball of fire appears in my living room, just hovering 2 feet off the floor and almost reaching the ceiling. It's not hot, so I guess it's more a ball of light, than a ball of fire.
My dream gets a bit fuzzy at this point, but I can remember key components. The ball of light seems to be a communication device for the aliens. The aliens were communicating with their home planet when they sent the ball of light back into the sky last night. Now, they were communicating with me. They apparently want to test the intelligence of humans and find out if we are capable of sustaining any kind of mutually beneficial relationship with them. In order to test our potential the aliens sent me (via the ball of light) an incredibly intricate structure made out of lego-like pieces. The pieces each had a smaller version of the pieces inside of them. What I needed to do was dismantle the structure and remove the inside pieces and put together a replica of the larger structure using the smaller pieces. Since the pieces inside each piece was not the same as its case, I had to dismantle the whole thing before being able to start, making the project much more difficult.
My friend and I deemed this task impossible and for whatever reason took the whole thing down to the boardwalk in Atlantic City. This autisitic kid came up and started putting the smaller pieces together and within 20 minutes had the whole thing done. As my friend and I are standing there mouths agape, his mother nonchalantly says, "My Jimmy sure does love Legos".
We took the masterpiece back to the house where the ball of light was still hovering and placed it in the middle of the light and it disappeared. Next thing I know we are the Ambassadors of Extra Terrestrial Affairs (ETA) and are heralded the world over as heros.
At this point I woke up, hopefully the aliens didn't end up destroying us or something cuz that would have completely ruined the whole hero thing... And what were we supposed to do give some autistic kid the credit? I think not, what's the point of being an intergallactic hero if you can't get some tail from it?*
*This is not to say that autistic people can't get tail, but it is my admittedly non-fact based opinion/observation that most people suffering from autism aren't getting too much ass!!!
