Star Trek Dreams

Dreams inspired by Star Trek--from borrowed characters, to situations, to whole worlds. Unlike Tolkien's deeply personal Middle Earth, or the commercially conceived and tightly controlled world of Star Wars, the Trek universe was an idealistic vision cobbled together in TV-show-sized chunks by many scriptwriters; fans contributed scripts and ideas. It grew over decades like some medieval cathedral. Trekkies are called a cult for good reason!

So Star Trek's already dreamlike--after all, your dreams, considered collectively, form a similar mosaic: vast, crude, mostly consistent but with odd bits and contradictions, forming an overall structure that's hard to see from a single vantage-point. Thus Star Trek is fertile ground for dreams--the shows' lead characters are such useful archetypes of pure logic, feeling, leadership, empathy, honor, power, genius, trickiness, innocence, decency and greed...
