What does it mean to dream about alien?

A non-Earth creature in a dream, often symbolizing a completely foreign, unknown aspect of the psyche or a new, unfamiliar perspective.

An alien archetypally symbolizes psychological material so distinct from customary identity that it is perceived as literally 'not of this world' — often reflecting the beginning of contact with a completely new, unfamiliar part of oneself or worldview.

What it might feel like

curiosity, anxiety in the face of the unfamiliar, awe
