Dream Diary, Jan to March 2021.

This is what I think...
January 17th
Hmm, still having weird dreams... Nothing too great to write about.
Had a short "VR" dream about some action packed game, was on a speeding bus with random action movie characters, were about to have a shoot out with
villains on another bus speeding to catch up to us, then for some reasons chainsaws started coming through the floor like a horror movie rather than action flick.
January 25th
Had a dream I was wandering around places from my childhood like our old home and neighborhood as well other places like my kindergarten and elementary schools.
They were abandoned and overgrown like after decades of neglect, honestly kind of beautiful in it's own way, I was taking pictures with my digital camera.
Suddenly there were dinosaurs for some reason, and then a random top down view with an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game for a moment.
I remember that while walking around I would think or say to myself "Oh, I remember that" and take a picture, I was alone throughout that part.
Kind of feels like it was partly because of how long ago those memories all feel, but mostly because of how depressing things had been in 2020 with loosing my dad and the last of my grandparents.
March 1st
Had a long alien invasion kind of dream, felt very Xcom like where they rolled up and curb stomped most of the planet, eventually leading to a resistance, then in the end mostly being free again but having traces left behind.
It started with some kind of localized mutations in our population after first contact, with a wide spread hive-mind like control plan to hasten their invasion, I was taking part rather than simply watching as some of my dreams have done.
I developed scales and wings and was crazy strong, seemed to be something like a half-dragon where I was mostly human looking still, initially I was fighting back against the aliens and trying to help a group of people get to safety, there was a clash with some government team with Brotherhood of Steel like tech from the Fallout series, they thought I was working with the aliens because of my mutation, I nearly tossed someone wearing some kind of powered armour suit off a rooftop helipad before things got cleared up, I remember seeing the group of people including a child I'd saved leave with them in an aircraft before a jump cut to nearly one century later occurred.
I was still alive and even seemed to aged very little, most likely do to the changes I went through, I was working with some underground faction while wearing what looked like a trench coat with a hood and a mask.
There were a lot of sci-fi elements and designs in the world around me compared to before the time skip, very Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077 like though I guess even later Xcom games are like that in a sense.
It seemed like I had been captured or otherwise brought under control for a portion of time during the time skipped, and that I had more recently broken free and joined up with a resistance group.
I remember feeling especially sullen after learning how long I'd been out, with little to no memories of my time being controlled, and that one of my first thoughts was about my loved ones almost certainly being dead by now.
There was a scene in a more rural environment of a family or group about to take off looking for another safe place to settle, they were some kind of resistance fighters, they uncovered an item from a cache
that had been left for them by either myself or another ally, it had some kind of information they needed.
The invaders were getting the short end of the stick in recent years, and humanity was starting to retake some places and aspects, the view of the dream shifted from me experiencing it after walking out of a building to scene in space where a repurposed shuttle was being piloted towards an orbital station of some kind, on board is a single person, an adult woman that seemed like she was either a grown up version of the child I'd saved or their direct descendant like a grandchild, I'm thinking the latter given how much time was supposed to have passed, while approaching the station the shuttle got hit with a laser or plasma beam causing it to split in half. A fighter jet like craft came roaring into view, the most likely source of the attack, when it came around for another pass the pilot of the shuttle came out from cover with some kind of pistol weapon drawn, they opened fire and pierced the cockpit of the fighter killing the pilot before it began drifting off into space, the human woman then began a long drift in her suit towards the station.
Another time skip brought it back to my perspective, people had finally reclaimed more and more of the planet, a large portion of the population were like me however with some having been random during the initial years or the result of later genetic modifications either at birth or purposely like one might get a tattoo or piercing, and of course some having inherited it from their parents or grandparents.
I remember seeing a metropolis like city with a large power plant that had been reclaimed, lots of of people able to walk the streets without fear.
There were plenty of random or natural looking examples of gene modding, but there were of course others who looked like they had purposely based theirs off of character from pop culture or mythological creatures.
Dream ended with me looking around more like an observer than a part of the community, feeling disjointed by my lengthened lifetime, but I did feel warm and fuzzy inside seeing the smiles freedom had brought.
