I wish I could hear more about the one with the aliens and the magic sapling! Makes me think of the Spirit Tree from Ori and the Blind Forest. And it's great that you actually had a dream with some resolution with the "finding of the wolf pack" dream! In mine, I usually wake up before I can resolve anything. One that happened recently was especially strange (if it's all right to share our own):
I was on a movie set in the middle of this big Roman-gladiator type battle, but it was all choreographed like in West Side Story, more like a dance than a fight. And instead of swords, we all had these big spoons. Because sure, why not? XD Every time you picked up a spoon or you caught one that was knocked out of someone's hand, you had to yell "SPOON!" After awhile, I found a huge fork, so I yelled, "FORK!" and pretty soon other people were fighting with forks too.
The battle raged on (in a Broadway kind of way) and it came down to one guy who was dual-wielding huge steak knives... for some reason. At the end, I was playing an 'extra' who was a captured bad guy, and the steak-knife-guy made some speech about how I'd pay for my crimes, then he dropped me through a trapdoor into a pile of dust. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to breathe, but then I remembered that the movie company was called "Temporarily Invulnerable Films," so I'd probably be okay for a bit.
...Then I appeared on Main Street in a town and saw a bunch of clocks with crazy times like 16:42 and BANANA:30. I decided I'd had enough of these crazy dreams, so I woke myself up. Somehow.
My brain is a wacky place to be. XD
