The dream involved a great deal of traveling and movement. The entirety of the dream seemed to have a dark, cold, and damp quality to it. The plot involved traveling across the state in order to come up with a viable strategy which could be used in hand-to-hand combat against a handful of seemingly random looking aliens. This meant constant trips and driving to various places, including but not limited to; the floral and lawn care departments of big superstores, hardware stores, and gas stations.
Within one of the gas station / lawn care stores I remember taking an inordinate amount of time staring at, almost studying, two flowerpots surrounded in an arrangement of rolled up kitchen towels.
One flowerpot seemed like an ordinary terracotta flowerpot in every single way, while the one to the left of it was tapered toward the bottom and without a hole for excess water to drain out of it. It also had a ripple-like wave pattern running down its body. The rippled terracotta flowerpot was also turned upside-down which is something I considered interesting at the time.
After traveling through the store long enough, when it came time to buy the kitchens towels, I found that they had been removed from the shelves because everyone as waiting for the price to come down on them. This meant more traveling in order to locate another place which sold kitchen towels.
Toward the end, I was asked to start a fire in the fireplace. The fireplace was a rectangular slab of metal with raised edges in order to keep the fuel inside of it from falling out. This fireplace was placed on top of the mantle of another fireplace which also seemed to be working, but the flame within it produced to heat. At the four points of the rectangle were metallic columns, almost like Bunsen burners, which somehow burned the fuel that was placed onto the slab, below the actual flame. The flames were orange in color. I placed large clumps of dried plant material onto the slab to burn for warmth. When the plants burned, they produced no smoke, but a great deal of heat.
When I and two others began to formulate our final strategy before going to battle, I remember looking at a newspaper which showed a picture of one of them. It looked like a stereotypical 50's robot which seemed to wear a sort of hot pink styrofoam as skin and had yellow hair styled into two yellow buns placed side-to-side on top of its head.
