Star Wars/Work Dream

[unspeakablehorror]

The other night I dreamed about Star Wars characters, but it was also simultaneously a work dream.  And my subconscious was trying to have the standard Star Wars adventure plot going on with its standard work dream thing simultaneously and it was very...weird.

There were lots of Star Wars characters in it but I mostly recall some parts with Palpatine plotting stuff and there was a part where Ventress was a Jedi as an adult.  Apparently all the Sith were actually Jedi in this dream (except maybe Palpatine).  And all of them were in some cursed workplace AU.  But it was still a fun dream haha.

sounds confusing. My last dream involving any Sith (but really only the one) was, I must conclude, heavily influenced by some dystopian AU HP fics I've read.

I wasn't me in the dream, I was Palpatine's niece, and he hugged me, in a very nice grandfatherly sort of hug. On the other hand, he did use a not-Imperius curse (again, dystopian wizarding AU) to... try to convince some violent revolutionaries that they saw the unpleasant thing they expected to happen??

Then I've conveyed it correctly! It was quite bizarre, haha. This is why my dreams aren't very helpful for story ideas. Like, what would I do with that, haha? It was interesting, though, because my perspective didn't seem to be tied to any one character, and I also knew what was going to happen in the future of the dream, so my perspective also wasn't tied to a particular time. Apparently, all the Sith were going to become Sith later on in the dream. But beyond that, I wasn't left with too many firm impressions. Except that the buildings in the dream were pleasant. Most buildings in my dreams are really spacious and nice, regardless of what their real-life versions are like.

Sounds like your dreams like to mash up a lot of different ideas, too. I think half the fun of dreams sometimes is just trying to articulate what happened in them.

I actually don't have a lot of fandom related dreams, but every once in a while I seem to get one.

It sounds like your dream had more of a defined direction going on than mine did. My dreams are often extremely vague and often the strongest impressions they leave me with are just feelings that don't necessarily always seem to correspond much with what's going on in the dream.

Speaking of dreams unhelpful as story ideas, a long time, (like 5-6 years ago) I dreamed that Plagueis won a Facebook poll/matchup thing. It was about the time of and probably inspired by this Star Wars characters voting match-off, but the poll in my dream had a problem different than Plagueis not being an eligible character: it was supposed to be a poll about local high school basketball teams!

(Now I am imagining a basketball team made of clones of Plagueis, who, I suspect, probably doesn't really know how to play basketball very well)

That certainly sounds like some classic dream weirdness! It would indeed be difficult to make a story about that. Plagueis high school basketball poll AU does indeed seem like it would be an extremely niche taste haha.
