However, we should not be afraid of aliens in our dreams – we should take a close look on them, analyze what they symbolize and what their role is. Is the communication possible? What is their attitude towards us? What is their form? Answering those questions, we will be able to discover the unknown sphere of our personality and understand the matters which seem to be complicated and incomprehensible.
