Cold medicine and antihistamines do something to me in my sleep. Not sure what it is, but Benedryl can really kick off intense REM states, good enough for Technicolor.
The other day (I sleep during the day) I found myself in something that looked like an Apollo command module. Nobody else was present, but there were stars outside and I could hear the crackle of comms with Mission Control telling me I had to give my oxygen tanks a stir. It just so happens I know which switch that is, so I flipped it and immediately regretted doing so, not because anything exploded, but something behind the panels began leaking and water began spraying out of some PVC tubing.
"This can't be good," I thought, because I knew perfectly well that if my panels short out, I can't control the spacecraft. I open the panels and try to plug the leaking, but its coming out of holes in the pipes, dropping down to the floor and starting to puddle up...
...and that's when I realized that the water wasn't forming globular shapes, its making a puddle on the floor. I'm not in orbit, I'M DREAMING! And I wake up. Plus, I have to pee.
