One for the X-Files

This year, Nicole Kidman will star in a remake of the 1956 sci-fi classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". My dream is a variation of the movie.

It all began when a team of paranormal invastigators led by a guy who looks like Donal Logue who, coincidentally, I first saw in the X-Files episode "Squeeze". (He later starred in the sitcom "Grounded for Life" and appeared as Nicholas Cage's sidekick in the recent "Ghost Rider".)

As with my previous dream (see below), I don't know if I was watching said investigation on the TV or if I was part of the aciton. All I know is Donal Logie and company were suppposed to be investigating this house (in the Philippines...possibly Makati City) that was suppposed to be haunted. It was about four stories tall and supposedly the lights would eerily go on and off by themselves. (I remember running up and down the stairs and the lights would go on and off everytime "we" reach the stair landing).

Apparently, the "haunted house" was inhabited by five homeless street children. But things were not what they seem. Those "street children" were actually shape-shifting extraterrestrials. In their true form, they look like Zetas (the so-called "greys from Zeta Reticuli"). Like the Ferengi in Star Trek, they're also egotistical and vicious.

But eventually, the aliens were defeated (I don't remeber how) and they were forced to hide among the general populace in their "street urchin" form living among the poor folk. They even put up this innocent waif-like appearance but still, I couldn't help wanting to hit them on the back of the head (and none too gently) knowing what they really are and what they're really capable of doing.

The dream ended as I found myself at a newstand looking over two issues of "Funny Komiks" (now-defunct). One had a local version of anime Mazinger Z and the other had a local version of the anime NG Knight Lamune & 40 on the cover...which I think is both appropriate and ironic given the circumstances.
