Wow. An exhausting but fun dream

So, in this dream there were only around 5,000 or so people left on earth. Don't ask me what happened to everyone else--all I knew is they were all dead. And it had happened a long time ago.

In my dream we were doing okay. We'd established a sane, orderly society. Crime was non-existant. We were rebuilding, taking pieces of the way we were that worked, discarding those that were harmful. It was actually not a bad way to live.

Until the aliens came. There were only two of them, but they were way more technologically advanced, and they were hostile. They'd come to wipe us out.

Don't ask me why. Also, don't ask why they didn't just wipe us out from space. They landed a few miles from our settlement and started preparing to march in, guns blazing.

Fortunately we had an ally--another alien, from a different species. Not as advanced but still more advanced than us. He shared some really nifty weapondry with us. Unfortunately he didn't have all that much--he only had three exoskeletons. For some weird reason I was one of the people selected to wear one of those things into the upcoming battle.

And when it started it was spectatular. Explosions, automatic weapons fire, all sorts of thing. We managed to kill one of the invaders soon but the other one was a lot tougher and smarter. To kill that one we lured it into a trap.

About three hundred people volunteered for a suicide mission. We tricked it into entering a building that was booby-trapped with an extremely powerful bomb by having those people in it. We figured it would never guess it was a trap because no way that many people would do something like that--especially since there were so few of us left in the first place. It thought it had found a refuge loaded with sitting ducks. Instead it found out that the afterlife is really like.

I woke up exhausted. But damn! That one was fun! If a little depressing.

It also contained the seeds of an idea for a TV series. I've been chewing on that for a few days now and the more I think about it the more I dig it.

So, what about you? Any interesting dreams?
