It is common for people to transfer their deepest fears to the dream plane. In dreams we can observe different elements that are directly related to what we fear the most. In the case of what we do not know, how is the case of life outside our planet, which has been a subject of discussion and study for many years.
In this way, the curiosity that has always manifested the human being for the activity that occurs on other planets and galaxies, manifests itself in different ways. Therefore, when people dream about these issues, they often have adverse reactions and therefore become nightmares. This is the case with UFOs and extraterrestrials, which also play a role in the dreams of most people around the world.
The word UFO is actually an acronym for the term “unidentified flying object. They are described as aircraft or other types of machinery, which has an uncertain origin. They are directly related to extraterrestrials because there have been an increasing number of cases of people claiming to have had close encounters with beings from other planets.
As its name indicates, extraterrestrial means that we are referring to a being that belongs to another planet or that has its origin outside the earth. There are different opinions about this, in most cases it is stated that this is a theory that has no foundation and therefore is the result of fantasy ideas. However, the use of these two terms as one of the references of the current culture are an essential part of the society.
There are a great number of stories that tell facts related to UFOs and extraterrestrials. They are part of the world of cinema and also of literature mainly. In other fields such as music and fashion, and even in art history, we find direct references to these subjects. It still arouses the curiosity of people of different ages and therefore it is not surprising that we also find references in our own dreams.
On a dreamlike level we can find a lot of references to what we do in real life. But there we also find references that are directly connected to our mental health and our personality. Therefore, it is considered that this type of dreams are a sign of uncertainty and also of curiosity about the changes that are currently occurring.

What does it mean to dream about UFOs flying or being on earth?
According to the popular description of what a UFO is, these are aircraft that have unique shapes that make them easy to recognize. They are usually described as “flying saucers,” that is, circular-shaped craft capable of flying through the ice at considerably faster speeds than airplanes or helicopters.
These ships have been recorded on videos and photographs that have been widely shared through social networks. That is why it is easy to find different examples of this type on the Internet, some of them claiming to be real. This is a topic of discussion that still generates controversy today. The first record of a sighting of a craft of this type was in 1947, when the pilot of a commercial plane claimed to have directly seen a craft with “strange” characteristics flying near the plane he was piloting.

If you observe these aircraft flying in the distance and lose sight of them, it can be related to the feeling of missing important opportunities. Watching such an aircraft lose control and get into an accident could also be a sign that we feel uncertain about our future.
If the ships observed in the sky are dark in colour, it is a sign that a series of negative events will soon affect the family environment. It also symbolizes negative thoughts that do not allow for coherent thinking and decision making. Therefore, this dream could be a warning to begin to internalize the most significant changes that are occurring in the mind and that also affect the personality.

In case of dreaming of being kidnapped and forced into a UFO ship, it is a dream that indicates upcoming changes in the daily routine. Dreaming of being abducted can also represent the desire to disappear or to withdraw from a situation in which we have begun to feel uncomfortable. It is an unconscious way of showing a need to have time for oneself, without the intervention of others.
If during the abduction we observe other people who are known to us, it is possible that this dream symbolizes that the same person could intervene or make changes in the family or friends. In some cases it is also interpreted as the possibility of suffering some kind of disappointment with that particular person.
