I felt the need to write something about this because the experience 
seemed so real. I had a dream last night where I was directly 
communicating (mere feet away) with bipedal alien organisms. I can't 
remember many details.

At first, I was scared. I always believed in the existence of other 
life, but something about these images seemed so real. The texture of 
their skin, the animation of their movements, it all seemed like it was 
really happening. If I hadn't woken up, I wouldn't have realized I was 
dreaming.

They were wearing a silvery suit, but it wasn't very reflective. They 
stood about 4.5 to 5 feet tall, and I remember thinking they were 
taller than I had imagined. Their heads were exposed, and their skin 
was on-the-whole dark brown, but it was very splotchy with lighter 
pinker and red tones, a bit like vitiligo, but on the average very 
brown. Their eyes were dark and wide, and not so forwards-looking as 
humans but a bit more (maybe 20 degrees) pointed outwards. Their jaws 
were small, but heads somewhat large for their slender, tall-child-like 
bodies.

I talked about this dream with Rhea, and she told me that she had a 
very similar one just a night or two ago. She said that she remembered 
their skin being pepperoni-like (splotchy).

I recall "talking" (I can't remember if it was audible) with them 
(about 3 of them) as if we were trying to accomplish some goal 
together...but I can't remember much of those details. I remember some 
level of concern about what what happening.

It was so realistic, I'm still a little spooked, and can't stop 
thinking about it.
