newnumber6Weird SFish dream about alien spaceships and government conspiracies. Also Firefly stuff at the end.
Okay, so in the dream, I was walking to work, and I saw these weird-looking trucks up ahead pulling into a lot. They just didn't look right, more like shuttlecraft from some SF show or another. I thought it was kind of cool looking, but figured it was a gimmick. Then, passing me on the road, were these things that looked a little like land-speeders, but they were painted all camoflauged, and I could see military people in them. These cars lifted off into the air and did impossible loop the loops and such, and in general behaved like UFOs.
So anyway, the dream jumped and I was telling my dad about them, and he wouldn't believe me, there was no news reports or anything about them. Then the government came in and pulled me away.
Suddenly I was in a hanger, and someone was explaining to me what happened - Canada had a contract with the Rand Corporation to do work on reverse-engineering a downed UFO. They were quite open about it, including showing footage of the alien body (and mentioning he was alive for some time and they questioned him, but they couldn't save him). They were supposed to be top secret, of course, but they recently learned that they were losing the contract next year... so, they decided to be nasty and leak information... they tested their prototypes in public hoping to be caught, and someone would go to the press, and then the Canadian Government would admit its involvement in captured UFO stuff from the US, really embarassing the US who'd been keeping it secret. They'd developed too much cool technology. One of which was 'one way matter', which wasdemonstrated when I accidentally bumped into what looked like a filing cabinet, and fell inside and couldn't get back out - apparently the front of it was made from matter that, when you move through in one direction, doesn't exist, but moving in the other direction, it's normal matter. They could also make specialized matter that lets through things - the UFO was resting on a stand that was completely intangible when I put my hand through it.
Anyway, that's about all I remember. The Firefly dream was separate, and all I really remember was Mal and Zoe were prominent in it, as was Serenity. There was something about a rescue mission. Sorry for being a tease up there before the lj-cut. ;)
