The lights

I was chilling in my house when my aunt came into my room to tell me one of the neighbors had a machete and a beard and looked unhinged. We kinda ignored it for a bit but then after we heard yelling we started grabbing our stuff, chargers, phones, etc and we ran into a spare room and locked the door. We chilled there for a while and talked. But then we heard knocking on our door. My aunt goes to open it but I stop her and I look throught the peephole. In the peephole I see the old man, with a wild look on his face. I kinda hit the door a bit with my hand and scare him a bit but it did nothing, he then starts hacking at the door and only the top door hinge was still together, and I was keeping it together, so we stared at the man for a bit as I stood between him and my aunt. He then talks about something, (forgot) and goes away, after a bit another neighbor starts talking about some lights and how something big was about to happen. We go to ask him about to lights and he stops me saying to not say directly about the lights and then he's like, wait, look outside the window... and we all do, and then we see like an arrangement of stars except they're not stars, and then they light up. Like the flash on a camera. Then they went back to normal, almost disappeared. Then they continued to light up with only a few seconds in-between. I look in astonishment and I'm about to acknowledge the lights but the guys tells me to be quite and to not talk about them because they'll know. I ask him how they'll know and he says they're interconnected, kinda. He says they are everywhere and they have trigger words where if you mention something about the lights they will get you. After a bit the lights stop and we look outside, nothing. Not even cars or people walking around. He says that the creatures take people and convert them, so If you go outside you get feelings of, safety and comfort. And if you stay too long, you'd want to stay. And then they convert you. You become a type of mind controlled zombie that goes and tries to hold other people down outside or break into buildings or windows to get them to want to go outside and join them. I ask the man if there are any hurt out there and he says no and begins to make it sound like they creatures are doing us a favor, but i stay with everyone regardless. We then have to go outside for whatever reason and when we do we see no one at first, but then we see two to three people just kinda jogging at us, fast but we could outrun them. I was running and almost got caught but 2 of them but got away. And then I woke up..
