Just before I woke up this morning, I had the following dream. I was living on Mars in some kind of futuristic colony. I’ve never had a dream about being on another planet (that I remember), so that’s cool. Anyway, our colony consisted of these enormous wide trees, in which we lived near the top. Sort of like the Ewoks or the Gummi Bears (if you remember the cartoon), I guess. Anyway, something happened, and we accidentally awoke these things that came out of the ground. They were almost like giant snakes. But that’s not really accurate. They weren’t quite what I’d call organic. They were like halfway between organic and inorganic. Almost like machines, but not quite accurate here either. In any event, these things rose up in retaliation against our colony, as sort of a response from deep within the planet itself. They then wound their way around our trees, and tried to crush them to uproot the colony. They were not quite metal, but were of this deep red segmented armor plating. And they were really thick, like maybe 3 feet in width. At some point, a group was organized to deal with these creatures and defend our fledgling colony. I was in the group, along with maybe 7-8 other guys. There was a girl who wanted to join the group, and at first wasn’t allowed. Then, she told the leader how her family had been killed in a similar event, something something, and then he agreed to allow her to join. In any event, we all got suited up in these big mechanical exoskeletons, so we could go out there and try to rip these things off our trees. I don’t remember what happened after that if anything, but I was under the impression that the suits would give us the strength to punch through the armor coating of these things, and rip out the insides. We knew ultimately they couldn’t be stopped or killed though. We’d just have to sort of prune them, almost like you would remove a vine from a tree.
