Yeah, I have this dream alot

I had to shorten it, but apparently we have similar dreams. The same thing happened in one of mine and we had the whole underground movement thing. But then in my dream, the world becomes one government, and they outlaw all unapproved materials. And they are THE ALLIANCE. Well, and some of use fight back, because we don't want to be in the crazy international country and don't want our mediastuffs outlawed. And, like the browncoats, you know what happens after that ... and we lose. Wow, a whole war over DVDs!

Well, let's see....Last night - very, very briefly - I dreamed I was standing on the catwalk in the cargo bay. Then all of a sudden River drops in front of me, hanging upside down from a panel, and she looks terrified about something. But then she looks up, withdraws through the panel and then....gorrammit all, I wake up.

I dream about River so much these days, I'm tellin' ya. Might have to ask Summer if she's gotten similar reports, if I see her at a con next year. There was one dream where I went in with the crew to rescue River from someplace a la War Stories - and after we found her, everybody else ran ahead to clear the way out while River and I stayed behind kissing passionately. Sheesh.

What's really sad about it? I'm writing fanfic around some of these dreams.

I had a Firefly dream once, it involved Simony goodness and Wash being replaced with Chuck Norris (no joke I had just watched Dodgeball for the 50th time).

Mal-"Well, look at this. Appears we got here just in the nick of time! What does that make us?" Zoe-"Big Damn Heroes, Sir!" Mal-"Ain't we just"

A more recent dream I have had was ... (took me awhile to type this)

THE FIREFLY SEASON THREE PREMIERE!

Which takes place after the big damn movie Serenity (And Serenity was actually stretched out in 22 episodes, like they're doin' over at stillflying.net). And he strangest thing is I can very easily recap it.

The episode begins in place not unsimilar to where Simon broke River out in Serenity -- like a hospital-lab type, or in Ariel. And two doctor techies are talking,about Chewie saying Tams are no longer a threat -- but they do seemed still concerned that they are letting the fugitives go. But then one doctor -- the older of the two -- says "We will deal with that later. We need to focus on the problem at hand"

Then we come to Serenity, where Kaylee and River are preparing dinner. (Simon, Inara and Jayne are also there). Jayne is cleaning guns, and Simon and Inara are ... sitting around. Everyone is quiet, though River and Kaylee occaisionally make comments to eachother (mostly on the food) and Jayne tells a joke about something... we should presume its a dirty one.

River leaves Kaylee for a moment as she walks down to the lower level of the cargo bay. There, she listens under the catwalk to Zoe and Mal, talking about an upcoming job. Some emotion and pauses between Zoe and Mal, not really relevant though.

And then its job time. Serenity lands on a rim world---somewhat like Lilac, maybe even another town on Lilac, and they enter a building (metal walls, seems abandoned)They go in and then bad guy pops out at them and shoots -- he doesn't hit anyone, but then quickly turns and runs down an adjoining hallway. Zoe says she's going after him, Mal says no, we hold back here because he might get more, but Zoe disobeys and runs off anyway. Then out of another adjoining hall way about three guys with big guns pop out right before Mal and Jayne get up to follow Zoe. They shoot back, and eventually they go down the halls.

Mal gets to Zoe first, where he discovers she is outnumbered and in trouble. Her gun is tossed from her across the floor and a badguy cocks his gun at her,but then a BANG and he falls out of frame, to see Mal holding his pistol and Jayne running upbehind him (is a bit cliched) and Zoe breathing with relief.

Back on Serenity, Simon patches up Zoe with River sitting on thecounter in the background like inthe Train Job, watching intently.

Then we go to Kaylee and Inara in Inara's shuttle -- now partially redecorated, and Kaylee is talking about Simon, all happy, and then Inara makes a comment about happiness and Zoe and Wash, and the two fall silent. The conversation continues with Kaylee saying shes afraid something will happen to one of them. And shes all worried about everyone on the crew's future. Inara gives her advice, accompanied by that famous quote- 'what lies behind us, what lies before us, are small matters compared to what lies within us'.Or something like thhat,anyway, I lve that quote.

We go back to the core-hospital place, but it is in a more open area like in Ariel where Simon saves the patient. A techie says another doctor wants to see the other doctor thats with him. And thats when they gointo the darker lab-room and speak. They talk about (Yes, you know where this is leading to) about the patient hasn't awoke but his vitals are stabilizing though critical.

Cut to Simon and River in Rivers room, River says she is happy after her secret was revealed and now she's free. There is a nice sibling hug, but then River seems to be ina bit of shock, and gets out her brothers arms and goes up to the bridge as he followsher. She's tapping away on the cortex when her brother comes up behind her and she shows him the page. As helooks on it, he says 'we have to tell the captain about this'

Back to our core hospital, we see a file getting passed, and one doctor techie says we identified the patient. We don't seethe other guy, but we see his hands pick up the paper (and no they aren't blue). The hands flip through the pages. Then he closes that file and he looks at another

Wow, Kelai, that sounds like quite a fic if you decide to make it one! Firefly must be one of the few shows a body can dream about and then turn that dream into a fanfic. Doubt I'll do the same for this one, but...

....last night I had a pretty hefty dream where I was having a drink with Nathan. (Had a frame of reference for this since I met him at Moonlight Rising last June. ) We were chatting about this, that and the other thing, and when I mentioned I was a fanfic writer, his face lit right up. I kept hoping Summer would show up, and I think I even asked Nathan about that at one point, but he never answered and she never showed....ah well. Can never seem to have my cake and eat it, too.

I recently had a dream that I was having coffee in a diner with Nathan Fillion. Conversation started off innocently enough but somewhere it turned to the subject of body hair. He told me he was hairy, I told him to prove it...it all went down hill from there... on top of a table at a diner no less

Well wouldn't you know it I had another Firefly dream last night. I chalk it up to the fact I was all a twitter at seeing Nathan on Lost Wednesday night. It was so odd for me to see him out of Mal's brown coat and into a cop uniform in Kate's flashback. Anyway in this dream I am on Serenity as myself which doesn't always happen. Then Mal is standing with me and says something to comfort me and puts a hand on my shoulder. Apparently we had been dropping me off at my home only to discover that it was no more and my family was dead. Pretty sorrowful. But then there is Mal and he says " As long as you are needin a home you can have one with us, on Serenity." And my dreamself cries and Mal takes me in his arms and holds me while I cry into his shirt.

It was so real all the detail and the color and the smells. I hate it when I wake up.

Once you've been in Serenity you never leave. You find a way to live in it.

Usually I have Serenity nightmares, which suck. Last night was my only non-nightmare dream (although it was scary in a way).

It started with me and Joss having an Email exchange. Appearently SciFi had decided to make Firefly Season 3 after 23,000 people had posted on the "SciFi Hear Us" thread on the Firefly forum of SciFi.com (I was doing that last night, so I figure that's where that part of the dream came from).

Joss: I think you are a tremendous writer, and I want you to write most of the Firefly eps.

Me: But nobody's heard of me and most people will be pissed if I write all the eps instead of you.

Joss: I'm writing the first one and the last one and a couple of the middle ones, and I'm directing all of them, but I don't want to write all of them because then I won't sleep, ever. And I'll make a big post on Whedonesque saying how great you are.

Me: Wow. Cool. But I don't think I'm worthy. I mean, I don't really have any idea what to do.

Joss: You'll figure it out. You're brilliant and I have faith in you.

And then he goes off to write episode I, and I'm wondering if his faith in me is misplaced. And then I get writers block, and I can't even think of anything for episode 2, and I'm panicking.

I go to sleep that night, and I have a dream about episode 2. It's about the crew dropping a package in a mossy lake inside a cave, and there's lots of Mal/Inara tension and Kaylee, dispite being a good swimmer, almost gets eaten by huge cave-lake-alligators until Mal, Jayne, Zoe and Inara save her. It's bloody brilliant, and the next morning, I write it down (as episode 2) and send it to Joss.

The next night I have a dream about episode 4 (Joss is writing episode 3). The crew is still on the lake planet, but their job is now to rescue a boy named Matthias whose stepfather is trying to kill him in order to inherit his (Matthias's) money. Trouble ensues when the stepfather's minions begin chasing the crew in order to kill Matthias. More trouble ensues when Matthias turns out to be a Tracey-like fellow, who, in his spineless self-preservation, wouldn't mind sacrificing the rest of the crew in order to save his own skin.

Again, I wake up, write it, and send the script to Joss. Days and days go by, but I can't write episode 5 (no more dreams). Joss emails me, asking for episode 5. I don't reply. That night, desperate, I go to bed and finally have the episode 5 dream.

More on the lake planet, although it looks like the crew is about to leave. For the last night on ground, they are staying in the area near the cave-lake, a nice spot if one ignores the fact that the lake has gigantic alligators in it. This ep is about River, who is pretty sane but can't quite control whose thoughts she picks up on. She picks up on Mal, who is worried about whether she'll go nutty-assasin and kill his crew, and on Simon, who is worried about whether she'll go nutty-assasin and kill Kaylee. River herself isn't quite sure if she can control when she goes nutty-assasin, and, upon realizing that neither Mal nor Simon quite trusts her apparent sanity, becomes a bit unhappy. Comfort comes from a most unexpected spot, a la Jayne. Then a gigantic alligator attacks the crew and she and Jayne kill it.

Yeah. Then I wake up and write it down and send it to Joss, who likes it. Then I send my three episodes to my friend, who also likes them, but keeps asking what the character's motivations for this and that are. I finally admit to her that they are all dreams, and express the fear that I'm not going to be able to write any more, because I won't have any more dreams.

My friend laughs evilly and says that she is going to tell Joss that my brilliant episodes are only dreams, so that Joss will fire me for being unreliable and she can take my job.

Then I wake up, for real.

Last night I dreamed that I was having really, really sweet sex with somebody, although for the life of me I can't remember who. I think it was Kaylee, but it might have been River.
