Yes! 
Explaining my clues:
#1 - Deanna meets her father in her mother's memory, who sings her a lullaby he used to sing to her as a child.
#2 - Deanna's sister is protected in Lwaxana's mind by an angry wolf (thinking of "Hungry Like the Wolf")
#3 - You see the Troi family enjoying a picnic (Yogi Bear steals picnic baskets)
#4 - Deanna has some difficulty with the image telepathy, which is too much for her at first.

Yes!
What was the lullaby? I didn't remember that part?
I'll give my first clue in a few minutes.
Discofan, you're up! It's been a few days, if nobody offers a clue by the time I get home tonight, I'll start one.
This one is obscure so second clue will go up quick if none answers.
Data uses the Magnus Carlsen Maneuver.

"Conundrum"? I remember he played chess with Troi in the teaser.
I am sorry I was rather busy these days.
We never see them playing regular chess though.

That's correct.
The Magnus Carlsen maneuver is passing up avenues to victory to play for a tie.
Carlsen intentionally forced ties the first twelve regular games of the championship, in the last game even offering draw when he had a major position advantage, because he knew his advantage over Cuarana was greater in the tiebreaker speed matches.

I don't see the point. If you can get a win, it seems to be self-defeating to play for a tie. Maybe he "forced" a tie because he wasn't sure he could win. Weak players play for a tie at the start of the game hoping that the stronger other player will not be able to force a win. But from a champion that seems... odd.
I don't follow chess much now that the computer makes fun of the world Champion. I hear the difference between the best Chess program and the world champion is so great that they no longer even try.
A good analysis can be found on Five Thirty Eight. Two things at work. First, Carlsen knows the difference between him and his opponent is much greater in short time games. So he felt he was at greater risk of losing trying to win with an advantage in a slow game than starting fresh in tiebreaker speed games. Second, he feels strongly that due to computer prep, the game is now much more interesting in a speed format, and wanted to demonstrate that point and influence format changes.
Unification? When Data and Picard are in the Klingon Ship. Data, while just standing there doing nothing is staring at Picard?
