The dream began with a confrontation off the surface of Earth between a line of ships from the earth and a line of ships from someplace else. You could tell which was which because the ships built by people did not look smooth and mirror surfaced like the alien vessels. The alien ships were uniform in size and roughly saucer shape. The human ships seemed to have windows, and I was looking out of one of them.
All the ships were "saucer" shaped, but the human ones weren't quite so perfect.
I can imagine the shock in the people in the ships on the human side. A grid formed out of light from under the bellies of the alien ships - it grew until it was under all the ships. Dark orange figures emerged through the hulls of the mirrored ships and began to walk towards the human ships. They looked human, or seemed to have a human shape. They approached and could then be seen more closely by the shocked occupants. They didn't look normal. There was something not quite human about them as they stepped through the walls of the human ships and started to murder the occupants one by one.
The two really strange things were that the orange things were killing them with some kind of hand tool and before I was killed I saw that the creature had no face.
