Dream CXCV

I was walking along in a neighborhood and I saw a large group of people working on rebuilding and remodeling a house.  I went inside to watch them.

Many of them were working on the roof; I could see them going back and forth through a trap door in the ceiling.  Others had a party in the main floor.  I wandered around for a while, and ended up in the basement.

As I looked at the walls, something started bulging and buckling them, like objects were merging with the walls and rising upward into the upper floors.  And I could see that they were Predators.  They floated up with arms outstretched, seemingly unaware of me.  None of their faces penetrated the walls, but I could see the outline of their familiar face mandibles.  A female predator came up at one point, and I got the distinct impression she was frightened.

I was really frightened myself, and I went up stairs quickly to warn the others.  I could see through the roof's trap door that a bucket was falling into a box of nails.  

"The place is going to explode!" I said.  We all hurriedly exited the building and watched on the sidewalk as it blew up.

I walked back to my place, thinking that I should be seeing Predators all around, but there didn't seem to be a sign of them.  I then decided to return to the neighborhood. 

Once I reached the border, I could feel that there were Predators around so I started running.  I met up with folks from the house, and they stopped me from running.  I wanted to leave fast, but they calmly explained that a lot had already been done. 

They showed me a map of the neighborhood and said they had all the "nests" mapped.  So, far, the Predators had all been quiet; there hadn't been any incidents.

They also said to walk calmly, carefully, but without over concern.  They said especially not to run, as running was a sign that made you "prey."
