not a nightmare for once

Lest you think that I only dream horrible stuff, last night I had a dream in which the Nu!Trek characters (mostly Uhura and McCoy, but I think Spock and Kirk were around too) were involved in a sort of scavenger hunt for finding or solving something. The details have been unfortunately fading fast, but the best part was that one team was in a balloon, flying low over some kind of city (there were dogs below?) while another team was in communication with them, only it was much much faster and more maneuverable than a balloon (though you were in a kind of basket). So it felt basically like a flying dream, only that my dream POV (it was one of those dreams where upon waking I'm not sure whether I was in the dream as myself present somehow, or just observed the dream as a story) was next to my favorite trek characters solving puzzles while at the same time flying over a city.

This night I would agree, but some of mine are truly horrifying as well. That my dreams often are very vivid can be awesome when I have cool fanfic like dreams (like I once dreamed a HP/Terminator xover in which the initial reason the machines were made were as protection against the wizards and their war by muggles), but bad when the nightmare causes me to wake up in a panic attack like state. Or I don't know what's real right away, because I often have dreams within dreams and sometimes lucid ones, where I know I'm dreaming but still can't wake up and sometimes I even have flashbacks, like later in the day I suddenly remember the dream due to some trigger or other and get images of the dream while awake. Thankfully that is rare.

Though ultimately I think I'd rather have vivid dreams even if I have to take good with bad, than bland ones, or dreams I didn't remember.
