A couple years ago I delved for the first time into the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. I'd heard plenty about his works in the years past, but had never actually read any of his stories before. I randomly listened to a few of his stories on audio, which were basically about monsters from anther planet or dimension subtly invading the Earth, and I think they influenced this dream I had July 26, 2023.
I dreamed that my wife and I found ourselves on an alien planet. We were there to investigate the origins of an ancient alien civilization, and we were currently exploring the aliens' ruins.
The aliens had been giants, and in order to navigate the giant structures we were wearing giant body suits. Standing probably five stories tall, each suit was a life-like representation of its controller who rested somewhere within, controlling the suit via some sort of neural link so that made it feel like controlling one's own body.
My wife and I walked down a short corridor before entering an attached room. The walls were white, albeit quite dingy, and the floors were covered with heaps of debris.
There didn't seem to be much to the room, but then I discovered that an alcove actually continued around the corner and appeared to be a downward stairwell fully blocked off with debris. An open bin at the top of the stairs contained some large, white, plastic bags. The bags were torn open at their centers, but I could make out that the labeling was in English, and the contents had been “Powered Milk.” I guessed that the powdered milk had had something to do with the aliens' nefarious kidnappings of humans.
I couldn't investigate much further as I then woke up.
