What are possible meanings for dreams of ufos?

UFOs and their occupants are an enigmatic dream symbol, with meanings ranging from fear to something inexplicable to an unknown part of yourself. Dreams about UFOs and aliens have physiological causes, too.

A UFO in a dream is commonly a symbol of fear. The association is tied with portrayals of aliens as hostile, and the threat of death from above: missiles, bombs, nukes. Fears associated with UFOs range from fear of spiders, which can drop down from above, to fear of death, to fear of change. After all, encounters with UFOs and aliens would be life-changing experiences. See: Fear

UFOs are “unexplained,” so the symbolism can tie in with anything you can’t explain, especially in connection with someone’s behavior or your inner life. For example, you can’t explain why you feel distant from your spouse, symbolized in a dream about sleeping next to an alien.

The occupants of UFOs are known as “aliens,” and alien can mean “foreign.” The symbolism can refer to a foreigner or illegal alien, or it can mean foreign in the sense of strange, different, or outside the scope of your experience. See: Foreignness, Strangers For an example dream, see: Fisting.

Perhaps what is foreign or alien to you, or what you fear, is something about yourself. An alien can symbolize something you don’t recognize about yourself. It might be something about yourself that’s outside your conscious awareness, or that you don’t recognize. Anything about yourself that’s highly repressed can take form as an alien, because it’s “alienated.” For example, imagine the homophobe who’s actually homosexual but deeply represses the tendency, then he (or she) dreams about his sexuality. It’s like encountering an alien.

Aliens and alien planets in a dream can relate to feeling alienated or disconnected from everyday reality, or being in a situation you’ve never encountered previously. It can symbolize feeling isolated, alone, or misunderstood.

The sexuality of aliens is ambiguous in our popular conceptions of them, and that association can be used in relation to androgyny and asexuality.

Aliens are often shown with slender bodies and great big heads, and that picture can be used by a dream to tell a story about having a big mental life, a heavy emphasis on intellect.

UFOs and aliens might symbolize a calling from within you to higher consciousness or deeper spirituality. The symbolism is created by the association between aliens and knowledge, wisdom, and intelligence. In addition, they come from above, usually, and above is associated with heaven.

Dreaming about aliens, alien abduction or UFOs can be caused by called sleep paralysis. Basically, you wake up but are still dreaming. See: Sleep paralysis

To be abducted by aliens can symbolize being taken away from your usual life and its everyday reality. Some “alien” part of yourself wants expression in your life and won’t wait any longer for you to acknowledge it. You are forcibly “taken away” by the unconscious mind because of an attitude or stance of the ego that won’t allow the process of self-discovery to unfold naturally. Such dreams can be part of experiencing a psychosis or badly needing to completely change your life and way of looking at it.

People who repress their spirituality or have no outlet for it are known to dream about alien abduction. Aliens and UFOs are associated with beliefs, and beliefs are at the heart of notions about spirituality and religion. For some people, belief in aliens is like a religious belief, so it’s easy for dreams to connect aliens with other beliefs to create symbolism.

Strange dream of two moons+Question

Anyone familiar with this?

So last night I had a dream that I was at my old high school with some of my friends but it wasn’t exactly my high school. It didn’t really look that much like it but it felt like it was in an odd way, an at some point I looked up at the sky and saw two moons. In the dream I felt amazed/scared at the same time and then the moons started to move towards each other until they formed one moon then giant lights(not like ufo but like something was being ripped away and making lights appear) appeared in the sky and I ran home to tell my parents I love them because in the dream I thought it was doomsday/The great unveiling. It was a very scary dream.

My question is, do any of you guys have any interpretation of what this dream mean?

-have a nice day, peace and love!

Alien Invasion

Last night I had a pretty weird dream. I can’t remember how it started but the first thing I remember was pulling up at the bottom of my drive with a couple of my friends. We noticed something crazy was going on in the sky so we kept watching. We realised there were flames in the sky. As we continued to watch a UFO revealed itself as the cause of the flames and it landed right in front of the car we were parked in. Aliens swarmed out of the UFO, at first I couldn’t really define what they looked like but as they got closer they just looked like short stubby grey aliens that you see everywhere. There were quite a lot of them.

They started to invade my house. I rushed towards my house and tried to evacuate everyone from there. There were a few people in my house but I can only really remember my friends, my mum and dad (who have been split up and haven’t lived together since I was about 10) and a pet robot that looked a bit like pathfinder from Apex Legends. Idk where that came from. (even though he looked nothing like her I feel like he was playing the character of my old dog who has been dead for about 2 years. I seriously don’t know why my dog would be represented by a robot but that’s just the feeling I had)

We managed to get everyone out of the house and we hijacked the UFO to escape. As we were about to set off I realised that the pet robot wasn’t with us and I wanted to go back for it. Everyone else in the space ship was telling me no and trying to rush off but I got out and tried to go get him. I saw him in our front doorway but he then disappeared back into the house. I then got dragged back into the space ship. I was really worried that he would be destroyed by the aliens or something and I asked if they were hurting him and someone just said “no they’re just burning an effigy of him”. I don’t know what the outcome was but I think we just flew off.

That’s all I can remember. It was a pretty weird dream.

Help interpret my scary cat dream

So the context is before I went to sleep I was watching this awful UFO documentary on amazon prime about UFO fragments found on a farm in Wales...
I’m 28 years old; a school teacher and live with my pregnant wife.

So the dream -

I was fixing a car on the drive with my brother and dad. Which first of all is strange as none of us can drive. There was a car part missing and my mother called from the house saying she had found the part.
I walked into the house and went upstairs to where I thought she would be. I entered the bedroom and instead of my mother was a huge black cat. The room had no furniture and the cat stood directly in the middle. It was all black and was about the size of a Person. The only visible features of the cat were red eyes. It was looking directly at me. It turned to black mist and shot directly towards me and in particular my heart. The mist went inside my heart and it made me wake up with a jolt gasping and the thought in my head was a screaming voice shouting “Mam!!!”

Can anyone help interpret this?

Thanks.

Airplane crash dream

This one was extremely unsettling for me and so here it goes. I remember kind of the end of it and something in the middle. I'll start with the middle part so I'm on a bus with other people.

We're going thru a scrapyard I believe or something because I saw two helicopter bodies without the other parts. Later on as we're leaving the place we turned left. But there were blue tarps covering holes or something. The driver said something I don't know if we'll make it. Tho we made it across the turn and I saw something in the distance in the sky. It was pretty far away, but did not look like anything like a plane or bird. Strange shape and then right after I saw a small dot that moved fast. Possibly a UFO and out of nowhere an airplane falls from the sky hitting the bus.

Now it gets strange because I've never had this happen in a dream. That final scene repeated itself again starting from the turn and then the crash into the bus again. Quite frankly it was so bizarre I thought about it all day.

can you continue a dream?

I had the most incredible dream last night! In it, I had my own spaceship. It was rather small on the outside and looked like a saucer shaped UFO, but on the inside it was huge. It had a living area, a laboratory, all sorts of stuff. It even had gravity generating technology so you could eat normal food, such as a Thanksgiving dinner on it. And that’s what my family was going to do. We were going to have our Thanksgiving feast in space! I remember when the shit blasted off particularly vividly; seriously how can a brain simulate something like GeForce when it’s never actually experienced it in the real world? either way it was extremely cool!

But then my stupid alarm went off, and I had to get up for school. Luckily I’m on Thanksgiving break now, but my question is is there any way I could continue this dream? because I never actually got to eat that dinner in space.
