Making way for a hyperspace bypass
Last night, I dreamt some friends and I were on an unidentified planet (could have been Earth) that was going to be abandoned. The reason was vague, although I seem to remember it was because aliens were either about to blow it up or invade. We were one of the last teams left around, checking the nearby towns to make sure everyone had been evacuated, and since our mission had ended we had to make our way back to HQ to catch the last spaceship out. Unfortunately, we were on an island and we had to catch a ferry. This ferry still ran at its usual schedule and I remember checking the timetable to make sure the departure time was correct and that we were going to take the right ferry because there were still other ferries running at their usual schedule leaving for other destinations. It didn’t strike me as odd at the time. We were pretty tight on time, rushing towards the docks with all our bags.
That’s when I realized I was barefoot and that I’d forgotten my shoes behind at the last building we checked. It seemed important, nay crucial, to get them back but that would mean I’d miss the ferry and therefore the last spaceship. What to do, what to do. Shoes and lifetime alone? No shoes but no insanity?
It was right in middle of that stressful conundrum that I woke up.
