Aliens at EPCOT

First; two things:

1. I am an alien as are dad and bro. But we didn't come from another planet or anything.
2. I've been to Disneyland back in 1992. But I've never beeen to EPCOT.

In my dream, our family looks normal. But I have this sneaking suspicion that we may have extra-terrestrial connections. In one scene, I was standing on a sidewalk and there was little girl standing next to me. Suddenly, this flying saucer decked with marquee lights began hovering in front of us. I don't know how the little girl reacted to it but my reaction wasn't one of shock. I seemed amused by the whole thing as I remember chuckling at the sight of the flying saucer.

In the next scene, I was at home rummaging for a magazine in the bedroom. The bedroom was kind of dirty as there were a lot of dead insects lying around. There were some live ones too...they looked like giant maggots or something. I got myself a can of Raid and when I used it on the insects, they were instantly crushed. The Raid must have been an industrial-strength version that's not available yet. But crushing insects isn't all it's capable of doing. I used it on some other insects and they began mutating into some sort of miniature monsters. They I accidentally sprayed some on an old camera and lo and behold...the lens mutated into some sort of spider-creature.

I don't know what happened after that but the next scene was that of the entire family at the Ayala Commercial Center. At least it looked like the Ayala Commercial Center the way it was back in the 1970s...except that one of the buildings was the EPCOT Center! As if that wasn't enough, as we were waiting for the "EPCOT" to open, a flying saucer came by and dropped a second "EPCOT" next to the first. At the time, there weren't that many people at the ACC. But one had to wonder how they would react to the whole thing. Me? I chuckled...again.

As we were waiting, I gave the EPCOT Centers the once-over. For buildings that were dropped out of the sky by aliens, they looked fairly old and worn. I was particularly drawn to the drainage pipes near the entrance that were yellowing and rusty. At that point, I gave mom my camera and keys. Shortly, "EPCOT" was open and bro rushed to get inside. He was coughing and I thought it had something to do with the bug spray I used earlier. Mom asked for the keys and I told her I gave it to her. Sure enough, we found the keys are attached to her purse.

I think it was at that time that I woke up to find the TV tuned in to Nickelodeon where I saw a prototype version of "Fairly Odd Parents". There was also "Doodlez"...in color. It looked like an episode of "Invader Zim" what with the huge space battleships. At this point, I thought I might still be dreaming. But no.
