I have definitely had nightmares that felt so real - particularly about aliens - that I wondered if they were just ordinary dreams when I woke up... of course they probably were. In one particular case, I had sores when I woke up, and I was freaked out for a long time because I had no idea where they came from.
BUT I think the thing with aliens is that unlike monsters that we can tell ourselves aren't real, no one can tell us for sure that there's nothing out there, and although we can be sceptical of some of the stories we hear, they do make a lot of us wonder. And with all the talk about aliens kidnapping you in your sleep etc., I think we're more likely to react with fear to that kind of dreams.
Anyway... the dream sounds A LOT like a dream I used to have as a kid, only instead of an alien, it was a "singing" mountain. I was also in a forest, covered in snow, and I also followed a light, but also the sound of... well, I can only compare it the sound you can get from rubbing the edge of a glass of water. The closer I got to the mountain, the brighter it got, and I'd always wake up before I reached it. I've always associated it with death, although I don't know why a little kid would dream symbolic dreams about death.
