Once again, I stayed up too late doing noth­ing in par­tic­u­lar (read­ing some web­sites, try­ing to fig­ure out more WP stuff, play­ing UT2004, etc..) so I’m feel­ing extremely tired this morn­ing. The other side affect of stay­ing up so late is that I can remem­ber some of my dreams from last night.

In the dream, I’m the cap­tain of a com­mer­cial air­liner (a Boe­ing 747, I think). We’re mak­ing a rou­tine flight from some­where to some­where else when some­thing goes extremely wrong. What exactly goes wrong, I can’t tell but I know that I’ve lost around half my pas­sen­gers and an engine or two.

We make an emer­gency land­ing on an inter­state or maybe on a turn­pike and one of the wings (and one of the remain­ing engines) gets snapped off by a sup­port col­umn for an over­pass and then we’re finally able to bring the plane to a stop.

The next thing I know my copi­lot and I are car­ry­ing some flat-bed like thing that I intrin­si­cally know weighs around 1300 lbs. We carry through a cou­ple of build­ing hall­ways before meet­ing up with supe­rior officers/crash inves­ti­ga­tors. They make some sort of joke, but I don’t laugh. Then we carry the flat up a slight incline, set it done, pause for a moment to remem­ber those who died and then reach into a wall panel, pulling out some heavy duty com­puter cable, which then gets hooked into the flat.

That’s where I woke up, though I did have a fleet­ing sense that the flat thing was some how act­ing as a black­box data/flight recorder device.

Note to self: No more late night tacos for dinner.
