Trek movie dreams..

[Khan 2.0]

I remember before I saw Star Trek 2009 (maybe 2007 or thereabouts as it was around the time the actors were being announced, Nimoy, Quinto etc) I had a dream about seeing it at the cinema and I recall it felt so real like I had actually passed into the future and was watching it in the cinema. I remember a scene inside the blue lit mushroom space station from Star Trek III but it was far vaster and vertigo inducing and more detailed than before (as you'd expect from a huge budget/FX) and also a scene involving Wrath of Khan era Shatner Kirk with the TJ hair and the maroon uniform (as there were rumours Shatner would appear) and it must've been CG deaging like the beginning of Terminator 5 as it was new footage of him interacting with the new crew in their TOS costumes. it felt so real. Even now it feels like a film I actually saw years ago and can only remember parts of as if you'd seen it years ago and can't quite remember what happened (when I saw the actual film in 2009 I remember being quite disappointed it wasn't like the dream I had - no spacedock or Shatner)

any other dreamers of Trek movies before theyd seen them?

The only Trek dreams I've ever had all involve me sneaking into the Riverside Shipyard. Once it was at night and there were guard dogs

im going to try make myself dream about STB so to have that double movie experience again . (maybe i'll dream Orcis version)

I once had a hyper-realistic Trek dream, (<reason I remember having it) but cannot recall many details. Talking to Kirk, Spock and McCoy, and experiencing the Enterprise and being at Warp, is all.

I'm acting in a play that parodies a popular German soap opera, and I dreamed that J.J. Abrams was directing it for some reason (he thought I was a terrible actress, btw ), but that's as far as my Trek-related dreams ever went. It was very mundane. o.O

I once had a dream that I was playing a Playstation 2/X Box/Gamecube era video game based upon "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" in which the spaceship control tutorial had the player piloting Kirk's travel pod to the refit Enterprise. You had to fly (without rings, fortunately) around and into the drydock, and press a button to dock at the port side of the Enterprise. It was cool, and I wonder what other missions there could have been in such a game.

My dad, on the other hand, had a full blown movie treatment dream in the Abramsverse. Set after "Into Darkness", the movie featured Spock (Zachary Quinto) leading an away team to explore a tropical planet with ancient Mayan-like ruins. There were statues there that looked particularly frightening, and were assumed to be a warning to outsiders to keep away. Beyond the statues, in the midst of a ruined temple, was a rare and beautiful flower, but it smelled awful to the crew, all except Spock, who was somehow driven inexplicably mad after touching the flower, and began to attack the crew. Suddenly the once beautiful flower underwent a sort of metamorphosis, and struck at Spock with long spiky tendrils. Spock was beamed back to the ship after being maimed by the flower. Back aboard the Enterprise, Doctor McCoy (Karl Urban) tells Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) that Spock's lower jaw and both hands had to be removed, and that he would never be able to speak or mind meld again. Then the movie ended, with a post credits teaser for the next film (similar for the teaser of "Back to the Future, Part III" being attached to the end of "Back to the Future, Part II") in which the Enterprise visits the planet Talos, and must decide whether to permit Spock to live the remainder of his days in a happy illusion provided by the Talosians, or to keep him safe in a federation hospital. The dream, my dad says, was probably inspired by his surprise at Pike's death in "Into Darkness", as he had expected Pike to survive and go to Talos in a later film.

Wild, huh?

I had a Trek movie dream like ten years ago where I sat in a Theater and saw a teaser trailer for Star Trek: The Beginning (It was before the Abrams announcement) and I saw huge fleet of 22nd century Romulan Bird of preys invading Earth and then the title card.

I had many dreams about TOS when I was very young. I was aged 9-11 when it aired originally, and my dreams involved being on away missions and being in space stations. Curiously enough, I can not remember any dreams when I was actually on the Enterprise!

I want a Planet of the Titans dream. (TMP style bridge/enterprise. the uniforms TMP style but the TOS colours. pre SW 70s SF movie aesthetic/style/tone, landing partys on epic early earth vistas, Star Trek Phase II meets Prometheus)

 

[publiusr]

That would be nice.

Okay, I just woke up from a new Star Trek dream, this time about Star Trek Beyond!

According to my dream, the movie opens in a white nebula or gas cloud of some kind (very similar to the aesthetic of the recent movie posters and title card), where the Enterprise is supposedly at full stop due to some tests that Scotty is doing to the engines, as is revealed by Kirk in his captain's log. But when Scotty shows up to do his report, he makes a startling revelation to Kirk: they've been at full impulse the entire time. Kirk expresses surprise, as well as a bit of vague deja vu, as though he's been here before. Doctor McCoy offers to examine him, but Kirk merely waves him away, and leaves Spock in command while he goes to his quarters. During this last bit, we hear the first ever reference to Jerry Goldsmith in the new films , as Michael Giacchino includes the theme here (it's exactly the same theme, re-recorded, that plays at 3:25 on this video

We are then treated to a shot of Starfleet Academy, which more closely resembles the TNG version. And suddenly, much to the surprise of everyone in the theater, we see Captain Picard and the entire crew from TNG (sans Data, who doesn't appear for some reason)! Picard and company, it seems, have been invited to orientation of new students by a starfleet officer in a sciences uniform referred to as "Lisa", but Picard seems irritable, and even a bit rude, due to the inclusion of a student he disapproves of, a student who is mentioned in conversation as being a Betazoid full telepath. We are then introduced to this telepath in a different scene, who is seen partying with her friends, though she is clearly emotionally unstable (we will refer to her as Carrie, since she so closely resembles the Stephen King character). We are shown that Carrie is the true master villain in "Beyond", as she is capable of bending reality when her boyfriend is seen with another girl. She forces the girl to telepathically witness a number of unexplained events, and we trekkies recognize at least one of them: a brief shot of Ilia from the first Star Trek motion picture at a TOS era navigation console (presumably from "Phase II"). Although I woke up at this point, it is inferred that there is a meeting between the TNG crew and the Abrams crew, and that Kirk's line of "What is this?" during the trailer plays as he meets Captain Picard and the TNG crew. Also, Krall is not the main villain after all, merely being an "obstacle" that Carrie uses to her advantage. Finally it is assumed that the final act of the film centers on trying to prevent Carrie from destroying both universes, and that Kirk and Picard have to team up (again). Only this time, no one dies.

So what do you think? Would this be a good movie for the 50th Anniversary, or what?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Certainly an interesting dream!

I stopped reading in case it turns out true

Here is your recipe, lucid dreamer . While sleepy, skip through Moonraker. Those Ken Adam sets were doubtless going to be about the same. Forget Drax--this is the Enterprise. Do this after watching some Space 1999.

There you go.

I dreamed new effects and super detailed ships were repeating the Enterprise-Reliant battle the other night.

A few weeks ago I dreamed that Star Trek Beyond opened with the Abramsverse USS Saratoga under attack from some Klingon warbirds. They eventually escape from the Klingons by plotting a course toward uncharted space, which for some reason the Klingons refuse to pursue them into, and drop out of warp near a planet. With the ship pretty beaten up and potentially needing days for repairs, they send out a distress call, and moments later find some warp signatures incoming, which they assume to be the Klingons, but are shocked when the incoming signals rapidly increase until there are over 2,000 of them. Then we cut to the POV of a Swarm ship, as it flies toward the Saratoga at breakneck speed and eventually smashes into its bridge, with the last thing we see being the bridge crew's looks of terror before they're (presumably) smashed to a pulp. Cut to opening titles.

OMG I cant believe this but I actually had a Beyond dream last night. And it didnt disappoint on the weird scale. Abit sketchy but can recall some stuff. Dreamt I was on a Trek site as usual (mightve been bbs or another trek site) and accidentally read some spoilers which made me way mad (easy to understand as thats actually what happened to me for STID – just after the Australian première I was on Trekmovie.com on a Generations story/thread and some idiot posted in the comments 'the new kirk also dies but is revived by Khans blood' and before I could stop myself id already read it. The comment was deleted by admin shortly after which obviously meant it was real) anyway one of the Beyond spoilers (cant remember what the rest were) was that Stephen Collins appears as young Will Decker! (WTF right) then I remember watching the film in the cinema and sure enough Decker turns up in a scene in something like the spacedock lounge scene in Star Trek III where they watching the enterprise come in and it was stephen collins but hed had CGI to make him look abit younger than in TMP (after I woke up I thought it makes no sense in terms of timescale as Decker would just be a kid in the STB era but now I think about it he would be only 4-5 years younger than he was in TMP so it totally fits) he was in the new starfleet uniform and chatting with other starfleet people. it really looked him him but slightly younger! (remember thinking wow they really got that deaging CG down perfect now!) ...thats it thats all I remember but im pretty certain there were more spoilers I read and maybe more scenes I watched but just cant remember..

apologies if Stephen Collins does appear as younger Decker in STB (but I think its safe to say he wont)

 

[Khan 2.0]

ok id avoided spoilers before seeing it (to the point didn't know therd be a space station) and had no idea there would be a lounge scene of people watching the Ent arriving at the spacestation (like in III) so got some serious deja vu and half expected to see a young decker!

 

[Admiral Archer]

Is it safe to continue posting on this thread, or has too much time passed since the last post? I'm asking because I just had a very interesting dream about how they could potentially reboot TNG in the Kelvin universe.
