Radioactive Alien and Pink Passwords

There's a sense of menace across the country side, 'radioactivity' it's explained, and in a valley near a ranch house on a hill, is a dome like enclosure 'to contain the alien', and I'm brought close to the dome, and look through a sighting tube, like a telescope, that shows what is inside...the view has a grid over the tubes end, but I see an egg like container, the front half gone, revealing an empty seat...the egg is small, child size...'the alien has escaped' it's explained....I'm at the house, and there is a sense of dread...I want to go outside, but frightened friends want to stay inside...I sorta sneak outside, and travel in an odd way over the hills, like a crawling flight, and the hills and ranches are very pretty, and I think how sad the scenery is now because of the alien menace, and want to remember things the way they were before--the reason for going outside...

I'm in a room with computers...earlier, I cant remember this part, I learned to use a stylus like tool with a curved tip, and on the bottom was a small rectangle...this tool worked by touching the computer screen...the workmen in the room can't get the computers up and running, but I tell them I can help, and above one computer setting on the left side of the short part of the L shaped room, are some long thin bars...I move the tool along the top bar, the bar begins to light up, and finally completely lights up, glowing pink...the computer is on, and now needs the password...I've seen the paper with two passwords written in pink...and I expect a workman to use it, but it's been dropped on the floor...we all look, but only find slips of paper with passwords written in black...meanwhile, the bar has gone dark, just a dark pink now, and off...

In both these dreams I'm really not in the community of characters...in the first I'm invited to look, and then sort of drift away from everyone's concern...in the second, I try to help, but really dont have a clue what's going on, sorta like kibbitzing a card game and telling someone to try that card....and my help worked, but then there was another obsticle--that seems to happen a lot in dreams....

I puzzled over the quote from wiki all day...the notion of 'shared reality' a refrain, and wondered what the founding father's would make of it!!
