Dreamcatcher: Apocalyptic Mech Invasion

Apocalyptic Mech Invasion

I find myself standing outside on top of what feels to be a corporate office building's roof garden area, time of day is afternoon. I'm outside talking to Mom and Aunt Anita when mom picks up a conversation we were having already and starts talking about how she wanted to "settle up" and buy me a bike today to clear some sort of debt.

Suddenly up high in the sky I see a massive structure way high in the earth's orbit, it looks like a giant, long black building with white trim and yellow lights throughout. Next to it, I see what appears to be jet 'escorts' following it closely. The massive structure in the sky comes down real fast and becomes more detailed and clear over a short moment after breaking through the atmosphere...it's a massive space ship. The ship breaks up into 3 giant pieces just before slamming into the ground. Mom and I gasp "whoa..." in awe, simultaneously. It appears to be an accident of grandeur at first and we keep looking on. I can hear people screaming all around. Suddenly a gargantuan anthropomorphic Mech rises hundreds of feet high and we all have a moment of stare-off with this thing not too far away. It looked so big that I felt like an ant relative to its size. Not even a second later we see more Mechs in the distance, rising up from the landscape and devouring buildings and killing people all around.
We start making our way for the door to get some cover when what appears to be an invasion or a war between them and humanity. We are tiny to these things.

I turn to see another robot land nearby and people begin freaking out inside nearby and literally break the glass out of the side of the skyscraper 20 feet away and they start piling out of the building like cattle over a cliff as if to get away from the robotic death incarnate. They have nowhere to go.

I rush inside and catch a glimpse of Lisa wearing a short light-rose skirt and spaghetti strap top. I try to yell for her but my voice cannot be projected or yelled far enough, I figure either the people's screaming and party music inside are too loud or I cannot yell very effectively (I find this frustrating). Shortly after, the place is empty and quiet with the sound of techno playing on a stereo in the giant building we're in. The lights are off and I continue to look for Lisa, yelling her name and trying to follow her, but this proves futile.

I see a young boy who says "We need to leave!" and runs out. I move past a living room space and into a bedroom to see what appears to be a childhood friend, Brian, laying at the end of a bed under some blankets.

"Get up, we gotta go!", I yell.

He just pulls the blanket over him as he rolls over. Is he giving up or wants to fight the bots and is waiting for things to settle? Unsure, I look out the window of this room and see down the street, things do not look good.

Everyone is gone, the place is empty and dark and I'm alone before I awake.

This was a long dream, much more happened before-hand that I cannot seem to recall. But, no sense of immediate danger until the above played out.

The Dictionary of Symbols

The deepest and most ancient meaning of the myth of the giant alludes
to the supposed existence of an immense, primordial being, by whose sacrifice
creation was brought forth. This cosmogonic myth was very common among
primitive and ancient peoples, and it shows how rites involving the sacrifice of
humans are an attempt to revive the initial sacrifice and to resuscitate the cosmic
forces or to reawaken, at least, their favourable proclivities (17). Now, the giant
is, in himself, neither good nor bad, but merely a quantitative amplification of the
ordinary; hence, as the case may be, there are some legendary giants who are
protectors and others who are aggressive. This sense of the giant as ‘that which
surpasses’ human stature (here symbolic of power and strength), is also indicative of the broad significance of the giant. He may be an image of the ‘Terrible
Father’, arising from childhood memories—children see their parents as giants—
or an image of the unconscious, the ‘dark side’ of the personality menacing the
Jungian Selbst (21), etc. It is interesting to note that in folklore the giant is tutelar
in character: he is usually the defender of the common people against the overlord, upholding their liberties and rights. Without generalizing, one implication of
the giant may be said to be the personification of collective Man—as implied in
the maxim ‘united we stand’—or of the life of a community (16). But the general
myth of the giant is far from being confined to this specialized meaning. In nearly
all symbolic traditions, he tends to appear as an outcropping of the marvellous
and the terrible, even though he always has a certain quality of the inferior or the
subordinate about him. The Bible refers to Goliath and to Og, king of Bashan at
the time of the exodus (46). Samson has certain characteristics of the giant. In the
West, Bodo, Rübezahl, Geryon, Gargantua and Hercules are the most significant
in gigantomachy; in Greek tradition, there are the Titans and the Cyclops. Christian tradition has often seen Satan as a giant (50). The tragic hero is intimately
linked with the giant, although, at times, in inverse relation as his adversary (60).
Frazer describes the numerous cases in which giant figures in wood or wickerwork were set fire to during midsummer festivals, comparable with the Valencian
fallas (or bonfires). The ancients would fill these figures with animals and even
live men, who were burnt with the effigy. They were considered as representatives of the spirit of vegetation, or of the god sacrificed to the world—which
brings us back once again to our cosmogonic interpretation. The giant may be a
symbol of ‘everlasting rebellion’, of the forces of dissatisfaction which grow
within Man and determine his history and his destiny; it may, that is to say, be a
symbol of the Universal Man (Adam Kadmon, 21). Now, according to Jungian 119 GOG AND MAGOG
psychology, the giant’s essence—or his appearance, rather—seems to correspond to the father-symbol, representing the spirit that withstands the instincts,
or as the guardian of the treasure (that is, the mother—the unconscious), in which
case it is identical with the dragon-symbol. Reviewing all this, Jung quotes the
example of Humbaba, the guardian of the garden of Ishtar in the Gilgamesh epic
(31).
