no_takebacksI recently saw Inception, and now I've got dreams on my mind. So here's my question for you all: had any piloty dreams? I've only had one (that I remember), but I'd love to read about other people's!
My pilot dream was rather complicated (and it was also two years ago). I was in charge of a group of people (in both real life and the dream), and I knew that there was a time-traveling alien possessing people's bodies. Yup. And then somehow...we traveled through time as well, possibly against our will. And we ended up enslaved in a restaurant. And at this point I was Kara. My companion, also on the wait staff, was Lee (of course). So we teamed up and broke out of there (because no evil restaurant can contain the combined might of Starbuck and Apollo!) and regrouped with our people in a parking lot, at which point I began to suspect that one of them, we'll call him Sam (not really but it'll do), had been possessed by the alien. He was acting strange, and also didn't know any history after the 1850s (time-traveling alien!). I was very concerned because if he had been possessed by the alien, then the only thing to do was to kill him before he killed the rest of us. But if I killed him and it turned out that I was wrong...well, I'd feel pretty bad about it.
At this point I woke up because irl Sam had gotten up to go to the bathroom and I lay there in the dark panicking that the alien was going to kill us.
But the relevant part of this is that my dream self apparently thinks that when she's in danger she ought to be Kara Thrace. Well done, dream self.

Date: 2010-08-03 09:57 pm (UTC)I've never dreamed about pilots. I guess they spend enough time in my conscious mind that my subconscious doesn't feel the need to deal with them!
However, just to prove that I'm not completely boring, I did once dream that Han Solo and I were escaping from my elementary school, which had been taken over by French-speaking stormtroopers. And my friend once dreamed that Darth Vader was attempting to bribe her into going to the dentist by buying her a kitten. So I guess Star Wars patrols my unconscious mind :)

Very cool. I've had some fandom dreams for other shows too--Buffy characters used to appear regularly in my dreams (there was one memorable dream in which Oz and I were trying to steal something from the back of Ethan Rayne's van while he was driving it), although not so much in recent years. The last fandom dream that I remember was a Lost one actually, a month or two ago. Very odd. I was at some sort of Lost reunion for the characters who had somehow survived, and there was lots of drama and intrigue and then Sayid accused me of being an impostor, which was not very nice of him.
