Wolf’s Milk Slime Mold

I had a dream last night, where things that resembled these in this picture here would sense anything organic or living (like humans) and try to attach to it and feed off it. It wasn’t a particularly scary dream, but it was intense.

I was with a group of people, in a neighborhood I used to live in when I was about 10 years old. I could see that the ground, just the ground, not the pavement and the concrete sidewalks, just where the grass was, or where there was standing water, were completely covered in these things. Imagine a sea of little pink mushrooms packed in so tight that you couldn’t see anything under them at all. In the dream, I didn’t grow up in this changed world, I came from some other world, or time, and was getting briefed on what was going on by someone that was on top of the car with me trying to avoid these mushroom looking things of pink ooze. I was told to spit on them to see them come to life. So, I spit out into a bunch of them, and they all erupted into a frenzy of activity seemingly fighting for who was going to eat my spit.

After a bit of this we skipped and jumped our way to the front door of my old house, which led to an elevator. Well of course my old house didn’t have an elevator, but I wasn’t really in my house at this time. At the end of the elevator ride down, we emerged into something that resembled a command center that was set up into an old abandoned missile silo. Here I was shown that people were working on a way to combat this pink menace. I saw them trying to freeze them with a freeze gun of sorts. I also saw fake lightening bolts shooting into patches of them seeing the effects.

I woke up soon after this last part. This was a very vivid dream for me, and seemed too real. I wonder what in the heck it all meant!
