I had this crazy idea that I have been up in the Space Shuttle. It makes sense.

But what happened is that the person I was talking to gave me the key to the house. I can stay there right now. And I did. And that was a great feeling in the sleeping dream. I saw myself in there. I could see the landscape out the windows. I could envision the layout of the rooms in the house. I heard a radio broadcast. The broadcast was about the weather in Denver.
The reason that all seems so profound is that it is a distinct variation on a recurring dream I have had many times in the last 20 years. But until today, the variation was always about that house I owned in South Carolina. In that recurring sleeping dream, I would discover unexpectedly that I still owned that house. But I had forgotten about it. Suddenly, I would discover that I still owned it and I could go there at that very moment and live there again. I always loved that feeling. I don't actually care about that house in South Carolina. I just miss owning my own home. I was working very hard to again own my own home before the 878 days snuck up and hit me from behind.

The details are always vastly different to my recurring dreams while asleep, of all the different types that recur
Today, the familiar type is one that happens just as I awake and open my eyes
e/
Today, a person enters a room I'm in and says they didn't know anyone was in that room before entering
The details vary but what's consistent is that I become aware someone else just before waking

Earlier this morning, another of those types of sleeping-dreams
I'm working at my computer and on the screen, a message appears telling me 0:15 before battery dies. Then 0:14. I'm trying unsuccessfully to get my work saved. That's when I wake here in my bed from sleep
I don't use electronic devices that routinely warn me of low-battery, here in the real world. I have those devices but I use them so infrequently I'm never worried about power. Besides, the screen was clearly as large as my desktop-computer

Stargate Universe - "Darkness" - tv series Season 1 Episode 4 - 10/16/2009
(from internet transcript)
Colonel YOUNG: I ordered you here twenty minutes ago.
Dr. RUSH: I've been working - throughout the night, actually - trying to find out why our power reserves are so low.
Dr. RUSH: I'm quite concerned, and so should you be.
YOUNG: OK. Well, how bad is it?
RUSH (angrily): I haven't been able to access any of the main systems yet, so I don't know.
WRAY: You look exhausted. Maybe you should take a break.
YOUNG: Get the information we need and make some informed decisions and we'll report back ...
(He breaks off and looks up as all the lights flicker for a moment. Rush drops his bowl onto the table noisily, and points at Young.)
RUSH: Could you please stop people running around, activating every bloody system they can get their hands on?
YOUNG: I will.
Colonel YOUNG: Well, there's gotta be emergency reserves.
Dr. RUSH: I don't think you seem to understand what's going on here, Colonel. Our "reserves" are gone. All of our power is gone.
YOUNG: T.J., this is Young. I could use a medic in the Gateroom.
RUSH (beginning to pace around the room): I refuse to be held responsible for this situation!
YOUNG: Nobody's blaming you.
RUSH: I ran out of time!
YOUNG: We can fix this.
(By now, Rush is almost apoplectic with rage.)
RUSH: "Fix this"! What, you think just because you give the order that it's possible? There is no more power! Destiny saved every last ounce of its reserves for life support - and I've seen it happening.
(By now, Rush is almost apoplectic with rage.)
RUSH: I've seen it being sequestered away from me. I tried to ... I tried to stop it. I tried to stop it but I couldn't!
YOUNG: Rush ...
RUSH: In a few days' time, this ... (he clutches his hand to his head in pain)
RUSH: In a few days' time, this ... (he clutches his hand to his head in pain) ... this ship will go dark. It will go dark and cold ...
(He crumples to the floor, unconscious. Young drops to his knees beside him, activating his radio.)
YOUNG: T.J., now!

I had that dream again about the house I bought in South Carolina back in the early '90s. I loved that place, it was quiet and relaxing. That house is always the central element in dreams I have sometime. There are usually variations to the situation, but the house is always there. And there is usually another element to the dream. In the dream, I discover that I still own the house and I can go back there any time I want, even at the very moment I realize it is still there. It is a great feeling to know I can sleep there that very night if I want to.
