There was a few other things that I can't remember but that I know were there. One I do remember is of a scene where my mother is saying something to me, or maybe she is asking me something. There is something "quiet" about it, as in it was a quiet question, she spoke quietly. Or maybe she was trying to give me a clue about somebody that is involved in whatever is going on here, but she wanted me to keep it quiet. I just don't know.

Only sleep about two hours last night. It's like trying to sleep in a barn here. The only time I sleep soundly is when I haven't slept enough to the point of exhaustion. Had one of those foreign dreams during my nap though. It was simple. It was just an image of a piece of paper with some words on it. It made me think of what I wrote yesterday using the specific word 'communique.' The image in my dream looked like a communique. The words were "from: me" and on the line below: "to: you." There was some other dream manipulation after that but I'm not sure what it was. It was something that I had to concentrate on hard. I wonder if they are planting easter eggs in my mind.

Airdate October 25, 1993
In the teaser, Data sees three workmen destroying a warp plasma conduit. He tells them to stop, and after he speaks, he emits a high-pitched sound through his mouth. The workers tell him to be quiet, then attack and dismantle him. A startled Data suddenly wakes up in his bed.
The Enterprise is leaving a starbase after installing a new warp core. Captain Picard has been invited to annual Starfleet Admiral's Banquet on Starbase 219, and says that after six years, he's run out of excuses to avoid such a boring event.
Troi quoting Sigmund Freud: "Dreams are the royal road to the knowledge of the mind."

Subject: Re: I don't know if I am winning or losing an effort by the Borg to assimilate my mind.
And what memories are real and what memories are manipulated? Did I ever live in a town named Greenville and work repairing cash machines? Did I ever live in a place named Lincoln on the Green? What a clever way to express the concept of "follow the money." And what about Central and Greer? And did I live next to that road named Royal Point before that ST:TNG episode where Troi was talking about dreams being the "royal road"? Is any of this true?

Funny how I don't remember any dreams last night or this morning. I slept about 3 or 4 hours late in the evening and then a few hours later this morning. I don't remember anything. And then there is the way the few foreign dreams I've had lately seemed to be quieter, as if the manipulators were almost whispering or they were transmitting with a lower power setting. I do remember waking up at one point where it sounded like someone was telling Donald Pleasance that he had a taxi waiting for him downstairs to take him to the airport. Pleasance was the guy who was chasing that guy around in those Halloween movies. He also played a blind guy trying to escape from a WW2 German POW camp.

"Phantasms"
PICARD
(re: workmen) What do they represent?
Geordi eyes the warp conduit.
GEORDI
I don't know... but I recognize that junction they're working on. It's the plasma conduit we installed with the new warp core...
Picard looks at the telephone.
PICARD
(re: ringing) "Respond"... respond to them... what does that mean?
Picard picks up the telephone, but the ringing does not stop. He considers, desperate to figure this out. Geordi walks up to the workmen.
GEORDI
(to workmen) What is it you're doing?
WORKMAN
(a threat) Go away. Leave us alone.
PICARD
(to workmen) Who are you?
One of the workman turns toward Picard.
WORKMAN
We are... your enemies.
The workmen suddenly turn as a group and GRAB Picard and Geordi. Picard and Geordi struggle, but it's no use. The three workmen raise their picks, preparing to STAB Geordi and Picard...
Data sits up on the couch.
DATA
(to workmen) Stop. You are hurting my friends and I must --
Data's voice gives way to the high-pitched SHRIEK heard earlier. Immediately, the workmen let go of Picard and Geordi and converge on Data, angry.
WORKMAN
Be quiet!
Data leaps up from the couch... backs away from the workmen... suspense building as they raise their picks and shovels, getting closer...
Picard watches the workmen... starting to realize...
PICARD
(quickly, to Data) Data, the shrieking noise you made -- it causes them pain!
Data glances at Picard, then opens his mouth and emits the high-pitched SHRIEK. The workmen stop and react in pain.
WORKMAN
Be... quiet!
The workmen try to move toward Data, but the shriek is too painful. They stumble backward in response to it. Data takes a step toward them, mouth open, emitting the shriek. One workman drops his tools and slumps against the wall, helpless. The other two drop their tools and fall to their knees. A moment later, they all slump to the floor, unconscious.
Data closes his mouth. The shrieking stops. A look of realization crosses his face.
DATA
I believe I understand.

"Phantasms"
Beverly is standing next to Troi, who is still lying on the surgical table, semi-conscious. Picard and Riker ENTER. Beverly turns to them, urgent.
BEVERLY
Captain. We have a problem. Take a look at this...
Beverly points to the discoloration on Troi's shoulder, which has gotten noticeably worse -- the red mottling has spread.
BEVERLY
(continuing, re: rash) Her tissue is breaking down on a cellular level... and it's spreading. At first I thought it was a rash from the coil brace she was stabbed with... but when I used the interphasic scanner, I found something else...
Beverly picks up an INTERPHASIC SCANNER and activates it -- the scanner sends out a BLUE LIGHT. She shines it onto Troi's shoulder...
65 ANGLE ON TROI'S SHOULDER (OPTICAL)
As the light hits Troi's skin, it ILLUMINATES a previously unseen CREATURE. The creature is large and leech-like in appearance, frightening -- and it is gripping Troi's skin with several thin tendrils.
66 RESUME (OPTICAL)
As Beverly takes the light away. Reactions.
PICARD
What is it?
BEVERLY
The better question is... what are they?

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
"Phantasms"
Data and Worf ENTER. The two Guards can be seen outside in the corridor.
WORF
I will have to confiscate your sidearm.
Data moves to his desk reaches underneath -- pulls out his phaser and hands it to Worf.
DATA
May I ask a personal favor?
WORF
Yes?
Data walks over to the couch, where Spot is lying down. He indicates the cat.
DATA
Will you take care of Spot for me?
WORF
Your... animal?
DATA
(nods) I am concerned that if I have another waking dream, I may... injure him.
Worf is moved by the sentiment.
WORF
Of course.
Worf eyes the cat, not quite sure how to deal with it.
WORF
(continuing) Spot. Come here.
DATA
Unlike a canine, Spot will not respond to verbal commands.
Data gently picks up Spot and hands him to Worf. Worf handles the cat awkwardly. Data reaches out and pets Spot on the head gently.
DATA
(continuing) Goodbye, Spot.
Worf heads for the door.
DATA
(continuing) He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers feline supplement one-twenty-five.
WORF
I understand.
DATA
And he will require water. And you must also provide him with a sand box.
Worf nods.
DATA
(continuing, one last thing) And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty cat, and a good cat...
WORF
(cutting him off) I will... feed him.
DATA
Perhaps that will be enough.
