A Dream, A Trance, A Woman, and A Voice

Last night I was in the middle of a dream when a woman with long, black hair stood up and said my name. The sensation was like those times when you're dreaming and you hear something in the dream, then you wake up and realize it was something from your waking reality - phone, alarm, etc. So, accordingly, I woke up. Of course, there was no one in the room and no one calling my name from outside my door or window.

I then felt myself slip into what I'll describe as a trance state. Similar to being half-awake, half-asleep. I remember seeing large, white plates or panels before me, staggered and layered into some architectural design. Each one pulsed randomly with flashes of white light. And now, a disembodied voice spoke to me. I believe it belonged to my friend Chris; I'm staying at his place right now. The voice asked, "What is the money game called?" I said, "Monopoly." "What is the word game called?" "Scrabble." It then tried to ask me a longer, more detailed question, but the words failed to form an actual sentence. It was babble. The voice tried again, with no success, words overlapping with words and on and on. I returned to a waking state and later dozed off again.
