Oh, c'mon. A real-world phenomenon that simplifies dream-logic? That
*never* works!
Myself, I once dreamt that the Borg were approaching Earth, so the
Federation was shipping large chunks of rainforest habitat off-planet
in giant flying shipping boxes. Which rather resembled Borg cubes in
size, shape, and their habit of hovering over the ground in much the
way bricks don't. And the UFP hadn't *told* anyone they were doing
this, which heightened the comparison.
