This dream isn't the first time I've had it, but why do I forget it every time?

I find myself aboard an alien ship billions of miles from Earth.

I myself am an alien. I have four hands, two six-fingered and two smaller three-fingered ones. I have nothing human anymore.

I have seen similar creatures before. During the crash, three of them exited the ship after the flash.

My childhood friend... I forgot his name? He was knocked out. My body was burning, a creature crawled out of the ship and approached me.

His eyes were glassy. She was dying. She grabbed me by the neck and buried information in my brain.
