    I just had a nap dream, I was first officer on a Federation ship and some klingons showed up and were all "one of your passengers stole a gemstone from us" so I go and search his room, and I find a gemstone and bring it to the bridge and the klingon is like "that's not it."

    so I search his room again and find like, 6 more gemstones. I get back to the bridge and there's like, twenty ships from various races surrounding us, and all of them want a gemstone this passenger stole from them.

    I took the passenger back to his room and had to threaten him with a phaser so he'd show me where the rest of the gemstones were, and then we had the captain of every ship come to our ship and sort through the gemstones to find their specific one.

    If you told me that was the plot of an actual TNG episode I would believe without a doubt.

    I've binge watched up to season 9 of the x-files so far over the last few weeks so I've been having x-files dreams.

    aw geez, have you had a fluke-man dream?

    I wish I had dreams with coherent plots.

    Like, yesterday I spent about an hour repeatedly waking up with a sense of dread vaguely relating to some kind of tethered balloon somewhere on the property that I needed to cut free with a pair of bud snips I've just purchased for the garden, before eventually getting to sleep properly.

    No it's been more melancholy, like their lives after the TV run but not considering the newer series.

    It sounds pretty close to one actually.
    S2-E4: The Outrageous Okona

    As the Federation starship Enterprise, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, passes through the Coalition of Madena, it detects a small cargo ship, under manual control by its single occupant. The crew makes contact with the pilot, Captain Thadiun Okona, who requests help to repair a part on his ship. Captain Picard agrees, and the Enterprise tows Okona's ship while Okona is brought on board.

    Continuing through the sector, the Enterprise is set upon by ships from two different planets, each of which locks its weapons upon the Enterprise, though both are vastly outclassed, and pose no actual threat. Debin, from the planet Atlec, accuses Okona of impregnating his daughter Yanar, while Kushell from the planet Straleb asserts that Okona has stolen a state treasure, the Jewel of Thesia.

    Idk, coherence is overrated. I dreamt I was hanging out in London with a minor (very elderly) member of the royal family, he was getting me into all sorts of spots that were closed to the public by using his royal access privileges. In order to prove his credentials, he would walk up to a door with a peephole at about waist height, turn around, hoist his robe (he was wearing a robe) and present his nearly bare arse to the door (he was also, thankfully, wearing a tasteful crimson g-string). A Royal Buttock Recognizer was stationed behind the door with an encyclopedic knowledge of all the royal bums, and they would then let us in.

    Pretty coherent, but still totally fucking stupid.

    Have you ever watched The Leftovers? There's a particular moment in one of the more surreal episodes that this really reminds me of.

    I had a dream I was in a fight and got stabbed last night. I won the fight, and didn't have any injuries at the end.

    I have that dream a lot. And I also get shot a lot in my dreams. I dunno.

    clearly they're also time travelers

    oooh, what if they're attacking you in your dreams because that's the only way to travel back in time, because the rules are different there *starts taking notes*

    I have dreams where I get shot or stabbed, and it's more of an inconvenience than anything

    In gun-related dreams, I always end up in in-dream fights with my subconscious, like it's a shitty referee at a sporting match

    "Oh come on, I missed that super mutant zombie? From five feet away? With a forty caliber? Fuck you."

    "Really? I wasn't able to disarm a sixty year old woman before getting gutshot? O-K, sure, that makes sense"

    People kidnap my family, tie them to chairs and put plastic bags over their heads. They make me stand there and watch them all die

    Since I'm working Saturday, I had today off. Instead of sitting around at home again, I decided to strike out for adventure.

    Granted, in this case adventure lay thirty miles north in Guthrie, OK (pop 10,191) but get off my case, this was the first time I left the city limits since Christmas.

    Order of operations:
    • Bacon egg and cheese waffle wrap at Waffle Champion, to fortify my strength for travel.
    • Drive to the Oklahoma Territorial museum, which I was mostly interested in because it's built on to the oldest surviving Carnegie library in the state. I was pleasantly surprised! I gave it a 50/50 chance of being a DAR-style propaganda job of Indian erasure, but it appears to be the work of actual historians. The artifacts were mostly related to white and Black settlers during and after the Land Run, but the informative signage was consistently clear that Oklahoma exists because of centuries of profound anti-Indian ratfuckery and that all the Sooners and Boomers were genocidal maniacs and grifters. A low bar to clear, but still refreshing in a state where it hardly ever is.
    • The library was largely unfurnished but lovely. I was the only person in the museum on a Thursday morning, so I prowled around peering into odd corners and spent a few minutes standing behind the reference desk under the rotunda seeing if a Victorian ghost was going to come try and check out an under-the-table copy of Fanny Hill.

      ca7t3xc8q5rf.png
    • Evett Dumas Nix beat me to the pun "Oklahombres" like a century ago, and now I feel like a failure.
      o1hub7xazs22.png
    • Then I wandered over to the apothecary garden and Drug Store museum, where I realized that the branding on my own asthma inhaler could be much more badass.
      gxnjzm4wgtbo.png
    • After that, I went and grabbed lunch at the taproom. The burger was fine, but importantly it's the first time I have found Hoptometrist, my favorite local beer, on tap. It was goddamn delicious.
    Anyway, that was my adventure. It's kind of depressing how good it felt to take a half-day trip out of the metro, and I think I'm going to start doing it on the regular whenever I have a day off. If you've got your shots and feel safe doing it, I think you should too!

    Small world moment, I've got some family around Guthrie and my great-grandmother lived there most of her life! We have a couple of gorgeous paintings of the historical downtown though my parents have been moving lately and I don't know where they are (here's an IOU for a follow-up)
