I've been having this same type of dream since I was a kid. I'm outside, clear blue skies, minding my own business. And then bam, massive shapes appear in the sky, taking up not just the whole sky but stretching backwards farther than I've ever conceived of something from Earth's surface. And even though my title says "invasion" the dreams never get that far. I just get this overwhelming feeling of dread that everything is over and I'm witnessing the end of humanity. There's no violence, no attacks or explosions and I never see what the invaders look like. But the sight of their giant ships in the sky is enough. I know for sure it's all over, and everything I've ever known is about to be gone, and that's usually how I wake up.
I am not suggesting there is anything particularly unique about this type of dream or that it means anything at all. I think about aliens all day long and that's a natural consequence of my thoughts. And I'm not even very pessimistic about what's actually going on on Earth, I think if the ones who have been here meant us harm, we'd be dead already.
But man... It's a scary dream.
