Type 1a: Dreams in Space

I just remembered a short bit from a dream. I started a new game of Age of Empires, but instead of the normal game mode, it was something different. I started with no Town Center, 2 castles, 7 or 8 villagers, and a couple military units. I started making some units at a castle (war elephants I think), but I got distracted from the game for a moment. When I came back, the computer player was sending a bunch of troops and siege weapons, and overran me. I started a new game, and this time I started out with a bunch more military units. I was dealing with so much at once that I didn't get my villagers working right away, but I was still getting resources from something (I forget what). The computer arrived with a small army, and I sent out my troops but he killed most of them. What happened beyond that is foggy at best, but I believe it went into a totally different scenario/different dream.
