aliens in my head, part deux

tirsdendreamsThis is a continuation of the alien dream I posted last time, just with a lot more plot holes and goofy stuff that makes no sense. If you haven't read the first dream, you'll want to or the rest of this won't make sense.
It was daytime. Apparently we had survived the first alien attack. Or it hadn't come, for some reason. The house that was key to the last dream meant less in this one, and it had changed in looks and location. It was smaller and surrounded by desert, not really sandy desert but sort of limestone stuff. Plus it was near a huge chasm.
Anyways, I heard that my Kurt Russel alien story had been made into a movie, and that the VHS version was newly available at a town up north of the house. I decided to go get it, thinking there was enough time before the alien invasion. I took an eastward road around the chasm and then headed north, I think I was driving a safari-style jeep.
I don't remember if I got the movie or not, but it seems like I ended up back at the house, to find out that a whole ton of people (who must have lived in the area, maybe including the townsfolk from up north) were going to the other side of the chasm to a network of caves to hide out from the aliens. And that they had already left... and once they got in the caves, they'd seal some special doors that had been built there, maybe by the government. I could see them on the other side of the chasm, they were in a long line and some of them had torches because the sun was setting. There were people with me, probably my family or remnants of the people who'd been with me in the first dream, and I knew we would never make it to the caves on time.
So I said something about making full use of our closet we'd stocked with food, and that we should get on in there.
Then either I woke up or the dream changed to something else.
Dream Symbol Analysis. Source: SoulFuture Dream Dictionary
day: Clarity of vision; Visible or known aspects or traits; Something that is light, bright, healthy, happy; Outward flowing, action-orientated, yang activity; Accepting that everybody has a turn, that the wheel goes round, every dog has his day, his day will come; Nowadays, currently, in this day and age; An unlikely event or outcome, that will be the day; Ceasing activity, calling it a day; Something that is relentless, day after day; Gradually, progressively, day by day; Something that's coming to an end, days are numbered. (This should also be "masculine" as opposed to the dream definition of night which hints at feminine.)
aliens: An alien within a dream often symbolizes an aspect of yourself that is unknown to you or unacknowledged by you; A memory of a dreamtime journey to another dimension; Something unfamiliar or unusual, something that is alien to you; Not belonging, feeling like a misfit or outcast, feeling alienated.
house: The size and condition of the house will provide further interpretational clues; A house usually symbolizes the physical body; Your personal mirror, reflecting your perception of your world back to you - see if the state of the house resembles you or the way in which you manage your affairs; Being accommodating; Something that is rickety and unstable, not of sound foundation, a house of cards. Various rooms in the house may symbolize different aspects of self. (rest doesn't apply)
desert: Openness, beauty, expansiveness, simplicity, change; Lifelessness, barrenness, emptiness, feeling dried up; Absence of abundance, fostering beliefs that prevent manifestation of abundance; Feeling abandoned, lost or deserted; Feeling emotionally drained; May suggest that it's time for a spiritual retreat and reflection, or a period of divine contemplation.
canyon: A seemingly impassable chasm; Beauty, openness. (the closest thing I could find to chasm, and it mentions chasm in the interpretation anyways)
story: Living in a fantasy world, indulging in fiction or refusing to acknowledge the facts of a situation; Omitting details, truncating something, making a long story short; Reporting on something; Something that is commonly believed, the story goes...; An untruth, a story; A regular course of events, the same old story; A homonym for storey
movie: The movie in question may contain a message from guidance - note the details; Observing the roles you play in life; Making or directing a movie may represent the creation or manifestation of your future dreams. (rest doesn't apply... hmm, is this a hint that I should keep working on my Kurt Russel story?)
car: A car within a dream usually represents self or the physical body. (rest doesn't apply)
road: A major road or artery may represent your life journey; A winding road may suggest regular deviation from your life path; A straight road may symbolize a clearly defined path and your ability to stay focused on it; A long road may represent something that is viewed as being arduous; Further clues may be obtained from your choice of transport e.g. travelling barefooted may possibly represent either slow progress or making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself; A dirt track may refer to a rough path or life choice, possibly indicating difficulty ahead. (I don't remember what the road was made of, I think it was normal asphalt tho)
cave: Exploring your inner sanctum, going within, withdrawing, retreating, seeking refuge; Entering the void, the unknown; A deep, dark area of fear; The subconscious or unconscious; An area of discovery or a place of hidden treasure; Could symbolize the womb, conception or rebirth.
line: A need to plan or establish order, discipline or accuracy; Objecting to something, drawing the line; Establishing boundaries or limits, drawing the line; A fine line may denote a marginal difference between two issues or ideas; Doing something that is inappropriate or disrespectful, stepping out of line; Following a prescribed course of action, coming into line or bringing something into line; Co-operating, toeing the line; Not yielding to pressure, holding the line; Conforming to requirements, being in line with something; Being a candidate for something, in line for it; Something that is true, in line; Being out of line may indicate being overly familiar with somebody or not being truthful; Acquiring information, getting a line on it; Speaking frankly or directly, laying it on the line; Taking a chance, risking your reputation on something, putting it on the line; Lining something may denote absence of transparency; A line may also imply lineage or descendants.
torch: Shedding light on something, revealing the truth; Burning or destroying something, torching it.
sunset: Closure, completion, winding down; Old age, senior years, sunset years.
closet: Doing something in secrecy; Dropping façades, showing your true self, coming out of the closet; Seeking privacy; Hoarding; May imply a water closet - see toilet.
toilet: Eliminating, cleansing, releasing, purifying; A blocked toilet may represent repressed emotions or an inability to express yourself.
Thoughts: The jeep thing caught my attention after I thought about it. Perhaps my mind is going on a journey, or I am in general, either emotionally, mentally, or maybe it's a hint that I need to physically go somewhere else (heh, yeah, I'd like that, plzkkthx!). I'm not sure, thinking about it now, if the caves were any safer or a better idea than the closet. And it's funny that my Kurt Russel story showed up in the dream, but then I have thought about it lately and wish I could get the dang thing finished.
