a sci-fi dream

Two guys and i are travelers. We’ve just arrived to a new world in our transport. Our vehicle is sort of bus-like and silver on the outside, like an Airstream trailer. We’re strapped into our reclined chairs. The leader man unbuckles himself and tells us that he’s going to go out and explore a bit. As he’s saying that i can see large black spiders on the ground outside. They’re about the size of foot stools but they don’t scare me at all. It’s curious because it appears that we’re inside a large white room with linoleum floor. I’m not sure if we’re in a different “world” or just a different “time” and feel uneasy. The leader gets out of the vehicle and walks across the linoleum. He reaches a white wall and an opening appears so he goes through. The other guy and i get out of the vehicle. There’s a television with some couches arranged around it, like in a hotel lobby. I get comfortable on a couch while the man searches through the channels for something to watch. Because the room is so completely white, it’s impossible to know its dimensions. It feels like big empty space the way the sound seems to disappear and the air feels light. While the man is still messing with the television, a naked baby (cherub?) flies into vision and lands on the other couch. It’s a fat, happy little white baby. It laughs and the man and i begin to convulse. We are caught in some kind of blue light electrical net. We’re helpless. The baby stops laughing and flies away. We wonder what kind of entity it is.

It’s much later. I’m in a lab with a different man. He’s skinny and pale and wearing a white lab coat. He makes me a little uncomfortable. I think he’s the baby but all grown. He’s teaching me something. We have to go to another place where the equipment has been set up. I’m riding a bicycle with the pale man on the back. He doesn’t weigh anything but i’m having trouble controlling the bike. We’ve come to a stop light. On the other side of the intersection, the road is divided. The light turns green but i’m still concerned that cars will come and hit me. The bike is very wobbly because of how slow i’m going. Steering is so hard! I can’t stay to the right and am just concerned about getting across the road that i swerve to the left and go wrong way up the left side of the divided road. I get back over to the right side right away though because the “division” is a just short a grass island. I apologize to the man for taking us on the wrong side and putting us in danger. He’s unemotional and cold and doesn’t seem to be concerned that we could’ve been hit by oncoming cars. I realize that there are no other cars on this road but still shouldn’t have veered into the oncoming lane. We get to a building that reminds me of a library. We go inside. It might be a library but with all the books gone. On one of the tables there’s a machine and that’s apparently the equipment that i need to work with. I can see the blue lights. It looks like a copying machine. I’m afraid the man will laugh and i’ll be trapped in the blue net again.

And CUT. Sci-fi dream. Pretty cool. I didn’t know any of the people in this dream. The white room is like the prison in THX 1138. Great movie. I think i’ll watch it again soon. Maybe the movie's message is the inspiration for the dream. The spiders were the one normal seeming thing in the dream i felt comfortable with.
