I had the strangest nightmare yesterday.

I was flying in a plane as a copilot. The flight was a dream afair so we were flying through water and strange lands in sinusoidal trajectories.

After a short while we noticed an UFO. The pilot panicked and we crashed. I appeared instantly outside of the plane and we noticed the UFO in the sky moving strangely.

The UFO landed directly in my hands and it was a white ball about 15 cms in diameter. At this point I woke up shouting what the hell is this, which actually never happened to me before.

Any interpretations? Strange dreams thread?

    I have really fucked up sleep so I've done a lot of reading about dreams, enjoy this cringey serious answer:

    Co-pilot: So this is a situation in which you lack the experience or knowledge to take control. Someone else is in charge of this journey, one which you find strange. You're along for the ride, but not solely as a passenger—you feel some responsibility.

    Sinusoidal: Wave-like, up and down, from one strange landscape to another, almost...dialectical? You brought this dream to the great Posadist minds of chapo.chat, so maybe this dream felt a little bit like the movements of history that we've all been experiencing this year...

    The UFO: An unknown force from the future, causing panic and destruction (although its actual intentions aren't known), which proves to be unknowable even when it's literally in your hands. You can observe this force up close, but you're still no closer to understanding it.

    But that's me. The real questions to ask with a strange dream are usually "how did it make me feel?" and "what other things in my life make me feel that way?"
