Perhaps fueled by all the "UFO" news lately, but my first remembered dream of the new year was alien themed!
In the dream, I (me, with my current understanding of the world) had come through some sort of portal to a time when humans and other alien races lived, cooperated and worked together. I was in some sort of facility full of other busy, busy people (both human and alien) moving around doing activities of some sort or the other.
First impression was of a large, airy structure, perhaps made of metal but with lots of see-through glass -- perhaps a large dome, although I could not see any curve. Very open inside, but with tall shelving in rows and some sort of grid structure / platform on the floor throughout. The tall shelving and the knee-height grid platform formed rows that people walked through and around.
I was with a group of humans working in the facility, and they were trying to acclimate me to my sudden, strange new situation. I think they were a bit exasperated at my confusion. One of them was Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager, lol -- I mean, it was a dream after all.
The guy in "my" group whom I spent the most time with, flagged down one of the alien folks to help with me. The alien helped me ask the Artificial Intelligence about my family history and family tree. I remember that the helper-alien was very kind and patient with me.
Questions to the AI were addressed to the grid structure that was in the floor. I remember that it lit up slightly as questions were asked. Questions were answered with images forming on the grid platform, so when asked about my family tree, a family tree unfolded showing how my family nearly died out at some point in time (a future time from my 2021 perspective), but was now flourishing.
I don't remember the AI actually speaking, but images formed that I could see, and I would suddenly know information. For example, it sounded like the aliens had been feeding technology to humans over the centuries. There was brief information about them interacting with Napoleon in the 1700s.
Both the kind helper-alien and I woke up from our interaction with the AI, having been lying on our backs on the grid platform. I was exhausted.
And as with most dreams, it ended in medias res when I woke up!
