Flying Surveillance

[Elyse]

In this dream, I was lying down to take a nap with my toddler. I had just gotten him to sleep and was about to doze off myself when I heard this weird buzzing/clicking noise outside. I peeked through my blinds to see some kind of weird, white flying box. It was going up and down every inch of my house making those clicking noises... I assumed, for whatever reason, that it was filming or taking photos of every inch of my home. Horrified, I ran into the play room where my other boys were sleeping. I could hear the clicking getting closer and my boys had torn the end of one of the blinds off, allowing the inside of the house to be viewed. While I didn't really have anything to hide, this machine did not give me a good feeling and I had not given permission for every inch of my home to be monitored... so as the box made its way from the top of the roof to my boy's window, I waited and then quickly punched through the glass and snatched the thing clean out of the sky. My first thought was "Oh crud! This is probably billions of dollars worth of government property!" Then noticed a tiny Google logo on the side... And decided, in all my wisdom, that the best thing to do would be to rip the guts out of it. So I did. After tearing the guts out, I wrapped up my shredded, bloody hand in gauze and I heard the doorbell. My parents had come to visit. I told them what I had done, and my father just laughed uncontrollably. My mother on the other hand looked a bit concerned. I asked if she thought that the data it took was stored inside or automatically sent to a database. After a minute, she said it was probably stored inside, but I got the impression that she was trying to make me feel a bit better. I decided to bury the thing several miles away and hoped that the last photos it took were not of my face...
