In this dream, I was on an away mission with the crew of Star Trek Next Generation.  We were exploring a dark planet. From the moment we landed the area was barren and covered in blackness.  The horizon merged with the ground, the sky, it was hard to find our footing at first. We moved across the landscape until we came across a lone building in the desolate space.  From the outside it seemed to be made of black mirrored glass. It was not very large, maybe 20 feet by 20 feet with a flat roof. The Captain walked up to the panel facing us and placed his hand on the surface.  A door appeared and drawing his weapon, the Captain entered with us following suit.

Th room inside was a small bachelor apartment.  Immediately on the left was a kitchen area, with an island.  There was a small dining room area with a table set for six. In the other corner was a couch and a flat screen on the wall across from it.  

On the table were six plates of spaghetti and meatballs.  On the other side of the table was another door. The Captain went and opened it.  I twas a small bedroom with a half washroom. There was a dresser, an old, small writing desk and chair, and an armoire, with a bed in the centre of the room.  

After taking a quickly look around, we went back into the main area.  On the table was now a note that said eat and be merry. Curious, the Captain sat.  After a moment, he told us all to sit as well, which we quickly did. He said he felt this must be the work of Q.  But which Q, he opined, he could not say. I asked in what way. And he said he didn’t know. But we would probably find out soon.  He then said “Shall we?” As he picked up a fork and spoon, preparing to spin a bit of pasta, I nudge my portion with a finger. The moment my finger made contact, the noodle became a beam of light and my hand stuck to it.  Suddenly, I was being transported through space and time. A moment later, the Captain and the crew were with me. All but Data.

As we travelled, the Captain flung himself over the beam of light and sat astride it, instead of being hoisted along hanging from beneath.   It seemed a sound idea so we all did the same. We traveled like this for some time. I asked about Data and One stated that Data isn’t biological, so we might assume he could not be transported.  I asked why he thought that and he said, it’s just a feeling. It just made sense to him. That seemed fair enough.

Finally, we saw a planet.  Without slowing, we continued towards it until the ground seemed to be coming at us at light speed.  Just as I was about to impact, I woke up.
