Sinister Teddy Bear UFO

Before you get too excited, this is another UFO dream. I understand if you choose to move on.

One of my "dreamscapes" -- coastal town, rural. Jim and I are in the parking lot of a roadhouse type place, not uptown and urban enough for a club, but not just a diner either. Pool, music, dancing, beer, that kind of place. In the parking lot, at night, and enjoying this small coastal-rural kind of place. We're in a nice, comfortable small town place, but just over the hill (s) we can see the city lights of a major metropolitan place. So we're removed from the maddening crowd, yet it does exist. If we want to, which we don't, we can drive an hour or so and be in the big time.

So. In the parking lot, two people come out, friends of ours. (I hesitated mentioning that, in the dream, they were a gay couple. I hesitated because their sexuality doesn't matter, yet it must have been important in my dream-head.  I have two very close friends who have moved to Hawaii; they're gay, and I miss them very much. I consider them both to be true brothers of mine, and when they moved to Hawaii a few years ago I was devastated. I don't know what that has to do with the rest of this dream, but there it is.)  They've lived here a long time, and know all there is to know about the place. I look up at the sky, it is beautiful! Just incredibly beautiful, sparkling, glittering, twinkling stars. White, pale violet, light green and blue hues, just astoundingly wonderful. This too is one of my dreamscapes; the night sky in all her starry wonder.  Not only is it beautiful, full of stars that are alive, but it is very "busy." So much is going on up there!

I turn my attention back to Jim, our friends, the parking lot. Which is fairly empty. Except for a giant teddy bear. Sitting there, by the dilapidated wooden fence, is a dark brown teddy bear. A giant dark brown teddy bear. It's about ten feet high, and about four feet wide. There is something creepy about this. I go over to it, and look at it, look inside it, for I notice the eyes and other little compartments, or windows... lit up a bit from inside.

The two friends tell us it does seem odd, but it's just the bear the town uses in the 4th of July parade every year. For the kids. I say "Well, what is it doing here now; the 4th is over with -- and in the middle of the night, in a roadhouse parking lot?"

This never occurred to them. They agree it is weird. Come to think of it, they're not sure if it's actually ever been in any parade.

"Well, then" one of them offers, "It's some kind of new toy for the kids. A gift from the city, or maybe a promo thing from a toy company."

I peer into the weird little eye slots and other places where a yellowish light barely glows. "I don't think so," I say. "Uh uh. This is no toy." When I say that, the bear moves, jerkily, stiffly, and the lights get brighter. I can tell it is pissed.

"This is no damn toy, it's a UFO!" I say, and the light gets stronger, and the energy from this seeming inanimate object is malevolent. Now everyone is nervous and knows I'm right.

At the moment I noticed the teddy bear is really a UFO in disguise, the sky above gets really busy. Suddenly, there are several dozens of UFOs zeroing in on us. They know we're on to them.

It's become clear that this teddy bear was an attempt on "their" (sigh, aliens I guess) part to sneak into human society. But they didn't get the concept down right. Toy, yes: teddy bear. But they goofed on the other factors, as with the utter high strangeness aspect of a ten foot tall, malevolent teddy bear with glowing eyes in a roadhouse parking lot in the middle of the night.

Now, things are not so good. Everyone is either panicked, or getting there fast. We sense panic from over the hill; everyone, everywhere, is aware something is not right. I'm none too happy about this either and I am nervous, but I'm used to it, been there, done that, is the feeling I have, as well as Jim.

Then I wake up. Not because I wanted to, because of the cats. 
A pattern I've noticed in these UFO dreams of mine: things appear, pretending to be mundane, or "normal" objects, but it is quickly discovered that these things are not what they're pretending to be, and are, instead, UFOs -- as in, flying saucers from outer space with aliens in them. Sometimes it's clear some humans are involved with this: government, psy ops, etc.

I suppose I keep writing about these dreams as one way of getting at things: finding out why both Jim and I have had at least two missing time episodes in relation to UFO experiences, and so much else. Either these scenarios (thing posing as normal: revealed to be UFO, sometimes with human complicity) are realities that I've suppressed, or paranoia. Or a little of both. Or something entirely different.

"Either these scenarios ... are realities that I've suppressed..."

Are you saying dreams are memories?

OI find the dream narratives so strange and compelling.

I mean - you must have dreams all the time, but why do you only o=post selected ones? What is going on behind the curtain that creates they impulse (and the follow up) to write and post these dreams.

Huge thanks!

I just knew you were going there - a small ufo type craft was the giant teddy bear. Had that sinking feeling when I first read the teddy bear description.

I've had dreams similar to yours too and I'd suspect others have also; who've been touched by the ufo phenomenon.

There's that out-of-place thing in the dream or memory, that's suppose to be normal and familiar.....but you know it's not. It's a ruse and usually a bad one at that.

Thanks for sharing all this, Regan!
It makes people like me not feel so alone.

I too am grateful that you have posted this dream, simply because I have had recurring UFO dreams and was interested in connecting with some similar stream of consciousness. You express important details so well ie the awe inspiring panaramic beauty, the sinister undertones and the growing civilian panic. The teddy bear thing sounds like a repressed childhood memory surfacing so I would interpret your dream as a flash back to such events. I have no reason to believe I have been abducted. Other than the teddy bear refernce your description would be very similar to my dreams.
