Vivid dreams last night.... Feel free to ignore.

I don't usually remember my dreams, but last night was quite the show....

Started off normally, in the mall, thought I'd lost something, found some jewelry and took it to the lost and found.

I walk off and discover I still have a ring in my pocket. Dream logic provides the information that this is a key. (My subconscious was stealing from Lois McMaster Bujold at this point, or possibly Heinlein....)

Next thing I know, I'm using the key to get inside a secret compound, then I get launched into space on a giant generational spaceship. Sheesh.

We're being chased, of course, but we manage to evade the pursuers.

While skiing on the mountain inside the habitat, I discover that one of the species brought along (lemurs or somesuch) is sentient, and quite good with tools. (Thank you, Niven and Pournelle.) We make friends, I thought, but then they steal some technology and escape from the habitat.

Later, these creatures bring back the stormtroopers that were chasing us. (Thank you, George Lucas.) An epic battle is fought, and we win only because the abominable snowmen turn out to hate stormtroopers. (Wookies, anyone?)


At the end of the dream we're playing a big role-playing game on the holodeck. (Thank you, Star Trek) If only Hollywood could make special effects that were as good as those in my brain.




I just wish my dream were less derivative....
