Captain Chris Pike is in front of me in a large, metallic room, illuminated softly from above. An accessway is to my left. I sense that an alarm may be going off somewhere though I don't hear anything. I do feel the room shaking and I suspect the ship is in damger.

Suddenly the thick deckplate below my feet becomes translucent and glows with a bright white light. I can't even imagine how much energy it would take to cause that to happen but I suspect it's incredible. It pulses slightly and a whooshing sound fills the room, much like when Jodi Foster is about to take her voyage in the machine.

The energy waves pass through both of us and I can see Pike is visibly affected. He skaes a bit and I realize he is becoming ultradense, impermeable and strong. I am likewise affected but I can't seem to move from the spot I'm in. Nothing I cna do will prevent what's happening.

The knowledge that Pike is changed fills me though I can't yet see any reason why it should. I realize he is angry, about to commit horrible crimes, and it will be up to me to ultimately defeat him, though it may come at the cost of my own life.

And that's all I recall right now.

Let's see what I remember...

I'm on the ground floor of the office building I worked in for 10 years, tile floors and hallways leading in four directions from a central elevator column.

I walk along the hall towards the back entrance of the building but the doors lead into a glass-lined hallway that runs along the back of the building to either side. As I approach the glass I catch a quick glimpse of a man who I know to be Emperor Palpatine, but I recognize him and think of him as Count Dooku. What's really weird is that he looks more like a bulky version of Darth Maul. This bulky Dooku is striding purposefully with an angry expression and I can tell he is heatedly discussing my whereabouts. He has been after me for a long time and for him to show up now, practically in my face, is truly frightening.

I ducked quickly out of sight by back-pedaling and walking to the side hallway. I peer around and watch him pace back and forth a little, giving orders to various hunters to search everywhere for me. I'm panicking slightly but I knew that only one person could help me now...my dad.

What, what? My dad? Well, that's who I was thinking about but as I concentrated on trying to bring him to me I remembered that my father was in California so I had better summon someone who had experience with Dooku. SO I summoned Yoda.

Yoda appeared and walked through the building towards the back hallway with the intention of fighting Dooku. I saw one of the hunters heading my way and I stepped back and ducked into the nearby bathroom. There was no place to hide in it, not really, and I suddenly became worried that Yoda would lead them to me. I had to act quickly without leaving my hiding place.

I placed my hands on my head and telepathically let Yoda know not to lead Dooku to the bathroom, though I did think it remote that Dooku would dare come to a woman's restroom. Still, couldn't take the chance.

After I thought this an attractive young woman walked in and I became distracted by her flimsy skirt and the open door that might allow a hunter to see me. I think this is when the dream shifted and I ended up in the creek.

*note - Dooku. Yeah...

So lets see what I dreamed about...

- I hid from Count Dooku
- I summoned Yoda to fight Dooku and keep him from finding me while I hid in the bathroom
- I swam in a flooded creek
- I rescued my daughter from the same flooded creek (mildly scary)
- I watched cats fly away in the catplane

Let's start with the catplane.

So I'm dreaming of a literal cat plane, a cat that actually flies and carries passengers. See, there are these two cats competing with each other to see who can fly the farthest. Each one opens up the side panel on their body revealing a hollow interior which other cats can walk into. The floor of the interior of each catplane has a bunch of holes in it designed to fit the legs of the cats who walk in.

The first cat takes in two passengers, two cats that walk in and place their legs into the leg holes. The door closes and the catplane takes off into the air with the legs of the passenger cats sticking out of the leg-holes. It looks really weird.

The second cat watches with a sly look on his face, knowing he's smarter. Four cats walk into his interior and place their legs into the leg holes and then the catplane lowers down to the ground on its own legs. The cats inside then sit down which causes their feet to fit perfectly into the slightly ovaled leg holes. The catplane then stood up, closed the door and flew off, but no legs are sticking out of the holes. This makes the second catplane more aerodynamic which will certainly allow it to fly farther.

I so wish I could draw that one.

Let's finish with the catplane. I think that's enough for now.
