Nightmare

I dreamt I was on an air force base in a large hall. It was some sort of a holiday dance. There was a DJ there and they were playing recorded music.

Some background, I used to do these as well as sound reinforcement and PA for live music and events. (Still have a couple of Sun model 15's, amplifier and mixer but no means to transport them).

The announcer stops the music and says that we may be under nuclear attack. Bright flashes have been reported over Nevada and Arizona. He suggests we take cover immediately.

I got under a table and covered my face and I felt the building shake, but it kept doing it again and again. I could see lights flashing in a window but they were red streaks night bright white flashes.

I got up and went to the window and it looked like a scene out of star wars. Strange shaped flying craft, not looking like or moving anything like conventional craft, were attacking the base with some kind of beam weapon, and the base had stationary weapons that projected a similar beam attacking the crafts.

I woke up at this point in the dream. I did make the mistake of watching Mars Attacks or at least having it on while doing other things a couple of weeks ago, but the details were different, ships were different, beams were red not green, they moved entirely differently.
