I dream of Jeanie. “May I make you feel better master?” ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > From time to time, I wake up in the middle of the night with great ideas for plots of TV shows or novels. The only problem is I can never remember the great idea the next day. On the rare occasions I have dreams like that and remember them, a few minutes’ sober analysis makes me realize the idea makes no sense at all. If I thought it was funny while I was dreaming, it was _because_ I was dreaming, and that has a similar warping effect on your perceptions as doing a lot of drugs. ---

I remember a vague dream of the Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman, Knight Rider, and Airwolf franchises combining to form a superhero team. No plot, just the vibe of a mini-organization along the lines of S.H.I.E.L.D. or G.I. JOE. BTW, I’ve recently dreamt a disneyfied Forrest Gump…Goofy as Forrest, Donald as Lt. Dan, Micky as Bubba :(, and minor characters from other disney/PIXAR movies…plus some cameos from Loony Tunes, Tom &Jerry, Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker. :dubious: _A bloody, dying Mickey crying in despair "I wanna go home…_ "\* ☹ ---

Lieutenant M’ress as a character in the new Star Trek.

Yo! > [@weird dreams this week](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weird-dreams-this-week/534838/9): > > I tend have at least one weird dream per week. The best ones are like little movies; I could probably make a small fortune if I knew someone who could turn them into story treatments. Some of them were inspirations for entries in our “Finish the Story” threads. > > One recent dream centered on The Doctor trying to solve a mystery. All I can remember now is that I was helping him somehow and woke up right after reminding him of an important detail regarding the suspect. > [@weird dreams this week](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weird-dreams-this-week/534838/15): > > I had another Doctor dream last night. At least I think I was with The Doctor, didn’t interact with him much. We were too busy trying to stop a power-mad queen who had stolen a throne that didn’t belong to her. The hero (Doctor?) chased her with one group of rebels and I, having stolen some of the queen’s (non-deadly) weapons, led another group of rebels into a forest and set an ambush for the queen and her minions. We had caught her and she was about to relinquish her thrown to the rightful heir when I woke up. > > The werid part? The queen and her minions were trying to get away on things that worked remarkably like Space Hoppers and the weapons I found were some sort of magic balloon prisons, not entirely unlike those in _Killer Klowns from Outer Space_! ---

> [@terentii](#): > > I once dozed off in the metro and dreamed a pornographic version of “Spock’s Brain” from _ **Star Trek** _ (or _ **Sex Trek** _, set on board the USS _Extacy_). It wasn’t about his brain, though, and the title was, uh, somewhat different. 😃 Penis and penis! What is penis!? 😃 ---

I had a great one last night, likely inspired by playing _Watch Dogs: Legion_ before bed. A shady outfit reactivated a super-soldier project which had been dormant for decades but they either had incomplete records or took a shortcut by starting with teenagers rather than embryos, possibly both. This created fatal side-effects. Twelfth Doctor and I found at least one of the earlier super-soldiers – played by Sylvester Stallone – still alive but in hiding, working in a bowling alley; we enlisted his help with taking down the new players. ---

As long as we’re reviving an old property, I remember watching the movie _Sneakers_ back in the early nineties and thinking it would be a great premise for a TV series. (On a separate note, they could still do it with most of the original cast. Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd, Mary McDonnell, and David Strathairn are all still alive almost thirty years later. Ironically, it’s the youngest cast member, River Phoenix, who has died.) Speaking of zombies, Peter Clines’ _Ex-Heroes_ series would be great on Netflix or HBO. Superheroes in a zombie apocalypse. ---

I’ve had a recurring(!) dream where I discover that there was somehow a season 8 of _Buffy_ that I hadn’t heard of and I try to find all of the episodes on eMule. ---

When I was tiny child (4 or 5) I remember dreaming an entire fake Ritz Brothers movie. Why the Ritz Brothers? I didn’t even like them as a child. But, yeah, I often dream with “plots,” and upon awakening realize they were completely stupid. But they’re entertaining while you’re asleep, and I enjoy them a lot. I just finished reading Margaret Atwood’s MaddAdam trilogy, and the settings, characters and situations were so vivid, I had a lot of dreams that “rhymed” with the books. Sad that I’m done now! ---

I’ve dreamed more than once that I watched a “prequel” version of _Gilligan’s Island_ based on early concepts of the show before it was finalized as a comedy vehicle for Bob Denver. An episode of _Knight Rider_ titled “Death Race”: an attempt to link Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. together via cybernetic link results in Michael having a bizarre dream/nightmare/out of body experience where he and K.I.T.T. have to race for their lives against a demonic foe through a surrealistic hellscape. A crossover episode between _L&O: SVU_ and _Castle_ where detectives Beckett and Benson find themselves in each other’s version of NYC.
