Kerry Burgess updated his status.
"Colonel Young's" desk always looks so familiar. Possibly the same I had in my apartment at that same time. Although I had stopped watching the television series by this episode the desk is shown in earlier episodes that I did watch on broadcast new on television.
I am largely ignoring the vivid dreams I have still now in these present days just about every night while sleeping.

Episode Summary
Colonel Young doubts his own sanity when he has visions of Destiny destroyed in an enemy attack.
(from internet transcript)
***
Everett wakes up in his quarters, breathless and with tears on his face. He sits up and stares around the room desperately.
Shortly afterwards, Camille jolts awake as somebody knocks loudly on her doors. She gets up and pushes the wall panel and the doors slide open to reveal Young standing on the other side.
WRAY: Colonel.
YOUNG (a little slurred): Hell, you wanted to be a shrink. Now here's your chance.
WRAY: What are you talking about? What's going on?
YOUNG (nonchalantly): Oh, I think I might be going insane.
(He comes into the room and she closes the doors behind him.)
WRAY: You've been drinking.

YOUNG: Well, that's, uh, that's not the problem. That's just one of the symptoms.
WRAY: No, what I'm saying is maybe now's not the best time.
YOUNG (chuckling): Yeah, right. Well, I, uh ... I've been having this recurring dream, only it's more than a dream. It's real. It's about as real as it gets.
(He sits down and puts his hand over his face.)
WRAY: OK. What's it about?
YOUNG (lowering his hand and looking up at her): The aliens from the other galaxy, they catch up to us, they surround the ship and then they ask me to hand over Chloe. And now, the first ... the first time I try to, uh, fight them off, the ship gets destroyed. The second time, I go into a defensive shell but the, uh, ship still gets destroyed.
WRAY: Wait a minute. Is that why you ordered Park and her team to resume work on the weapons grid - because of this dream?
(She sits down beside him. He looks at her urgently.)
YOUNG: Listen, there's something else going on here. I mean, this is like no dream I've ever had before. I mean, I can - I can - I can feel the floor under my feet. I can smell the sweat of the people around me, Camille.
WRAY (awkwardly): Yeah, yeah. It's a no-win scenario. It seems like the only way out would be for you to do the one thing that you don't want to do.
YOUNG: I don't ... I don't think it's that simple.
