I had such a weird dream this morning. It was weird because: it was coherent and had a plot, and it involved a movie and TV show. This last is weird for me because I never dream about the things I've watched. Well, hardly ever. It's a noteworthy event when I do.

Okay. So, my dreamself (I am never quite me in dreams, no idea why) had inexplicably travelled back in time to 1997, and was stuck there. I needed help getting back to my time. So I was in a reception area, waiting to talk to - I think a private investigator?

Said PI was James Bond. Natch. (I place the blame for this entirely on

tahira_saki and

doihearawaltz. I'm probably lucky that ~~Antoine~~ Dominic and Camille didn't have cameos.) Well, who else do you go to for help with a really strange problem? It's James freaking Bond! He can fix it!

Except that when I actually got into his office, I didn't want to tell him the actual problem. Which, fair enough, because "I travelled back in time from 2008" is a little crazy-sounding, even in a dream. So I made something up and then went back to the reception area to figure out WTF I was going to do.

I was in luck: the Tenth Doctor was there. He took me home.

And I immediately ended up right back in 1997. It was August 28 (I checked the calendar), which was the day after my last involuntary journey. I was in the same reception area, waiting to see Bond again. (There was a whole wacky subplot here with this crazy family that I'm sorry I can't remember, because the wait was long and they kept me from being too bored.) This time, I decided to tell him what was up, I guess because if he had the Doctor as a client, he would be used to weird shit like this. (That's waking logic. In the dream, I don't think I had a reason.)

Unfortunately, when I got into his office, he was superbusy and nobody would go AWAY, and I wanted to talk to him about it alone for obvious reasons. To complicate things further, Jack Harkness was now working for him and I was worried about letting something slip about the Doctor that might screw up Jack's timeline. So I definitely had to wait for him to leave the office, but he couldn't. There was too much that needed doing.

Eventually, I lost my patience, told Bond I'd talk to him later, and went back to reception. Where the Doctor was waiting. I learned that this was not the last time I would end up slipping through time, and that picking me up and taking me home had apparently become something of a theme for him, with his timeline being less linear than mine and all.

. . . the end.

Is it just me, or does that sound like potential for a strange little AU crossover fic?

Depends. Who was playing James Bond?

I assume it was Daniel Craig, since the only Bond movie I've seen (I KNOW I KNOW) is Quantum of Solace.

Well, that's all right, then.

(...I love how I didn't even bother questioning if you're weird or have too much going on in that brain of yours and instead went straight to the, "Who's playing Bond?" question.)

That just means you've got your priorities in order.

(And you already know the answer to both questions is yes.)

I'd read it. :P

:D It's probably the best dream I've had in a while. I'm really glad it was one of those morning dreams that you remember better than the middle-of-the-night dreams.

I had one like that too! That I just forgot in the hour I've been up. :P
