Default Trying to remember a the name of a film from the eighties

Ok, as far as I can remember the film went like this...

3 kids all keep having recuring dreams about circuit boards. These dreams always end up showing the full sized board, which has a very distinctive pattern.
When the 3 friends realise they're all dreaming the same thing the nerdy one builds the board. They then conect it to a computer and a small green bubble appears. They learn they can control the bubbles size and they can make it move.
They then decide to build something to sit in, so they take a cart from a fairground ride and construct a type of 'spaceship'.
Once finished they all getr inside the 'ship' and activate the bubble program. Unable to control the direction the 'ship' is heading the bubble takes them into space where they land on a large spaceship. There they meet two aliens who spend all there time watching earth TV. After some PC blah blah about saving the earth and being nicer to eachother the group get disturbed by a larger alien. It turns out that this is the father of the two aliens. So the three kids return to there 'ship' and return to earth.

Right, WTF was this film called????

It came out around the same time as The Goonies.
Does anyone know what it's called?

Fire in the Sky
Gives me nightmares

Freaky alien faces- something about how the aliens look in the film that scares the living crap out of me to this day. I cannot watch it, which is a shame as its a cracking film.
