Stupid Nightmares

I don't really ever get "scared" by nightmares, but sometimes I have really stressful ones and I wake up exhausted. Hence, this morning, when I woke up way too early from one and then ended up just laying in bed for hours recovering. Good thing it wasn't a school day and I didn't really have any work to do.

Here's the dream. Heads up, it shows how much of a nerd I am. Oh, and I fully blame a kid from youth theatre for this one, too...

I don't remember TOO many details, but I remember being with a group of friends and I think we were on some kind of Book of Mormon site tour. We were walking into some kind of temple and it reminded me of the one in Alien vs. Predator. All of a sudden, I realized that a lot of the tourists were acting zombie-like, and I noticed some hatched alien pods. So, I instructed my friends to cover their mouths and not let an alien attach itself under any circumstances.

We tried to find our way out of the temple, but instead found a room FULL of the pods. We navigated ourselves through the room and on the other side found more tourists and some of them had aliens bursting from them. Then, we noticed that there were some predators patrolling the room, but they were only paying attention to the humans that had aliens hatching.

We kept making our way through the underground chambers, but with no luck of finding an exit. Eventually, aliens showed up and started attacking everyone. I escaped because J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, showed up and started killing aliens for me. When he had defeated all of the aliens, he told me I had been going the wrong way, and we had to go back through the room of alien pods. He used his powers to make me invisible with him, and then we slowly made our way back through that room. It was INTENSE. Facehuggers were popping out all over.

We made our way back to the room where we had first seen the zombie-like tourists, and there were bodies EVERYWHERE. The aliens had all burst, and there were now full-grown aliens fighting with predators all over the place. The humans that got caught in the middle were dead. J'onn and I started to flash a little bit, and we realized that we were going to going to become completely invisible soon. He told me we'd have to crawl across the ceiling to be safe, and he'd use his powers to help me.

We scaled a wall (impressive, eh?) and then started crawling across the ceiling (even more impressive, eh?). The fight was raging beneath us. J'onn wasn't so much invisible as camouflage, and I could see him the whole time. All of a sudden, we started flashing more intensely, and we started to lose our grip. I looked at J'onn and he had an "Oh, crap!" look on his face. As we started to fall, I woke up.

I was completely out of breath when I woke up, and I felt incredibly stressed. And now I really want to watch the first Alien vs. Predator.
