A Pretty Dream

Last night I had a neat dream/story. I was part of a crew of a small spaceship, and we were exploring space and found a very neat earth-like planet. We did a scan of the surface and found signs of life in one of the small corners of the planet. I was the pilot so I swooped us down to land at that location and settled right next to an aged weathering X-Wing looking craft.

When me and two others exited the craft, we saw a concrete and metal bunker nearby and went in. inside, were dozens of people hooked up to colorful sleeping tubes. We woke them up and they said they had been sleeping for years and trying to survive a disease that was ravaging the planet. They were all dressed in these spandex outfits and I promised the leader that I would send help and get them a cure for whatever it was. When I left another exit of the bunker I stared out at the most beautiful scene of wheat fields and meadows stretched up against small mountains in the distance as the sun cast shadows all over the land. There were these big power line supports stretching from the bunker out past the mountains.

I looked down at the ground and saw a dirty worn cootie catcher on the ground among some other debris. I grabbed onto it as a memory of this beautiful place and started heading back toward the ship. A swift breeze blew the paper from my hand and it kept flying away. I ran after it in desperation and this young blonde girl came out from near the bunker, grabbed it and handed it to me. She looked up at me and told me she was dying from the disease. I promised her I wouldn't let her die and that we would find a cure for them.
