Interesting dreams!
I had basically the end of a story unfold in my dream, writing it down so I remember.
In the dream, I was one of the two Benjin Sisters, sixteen year old girls. The joke was that I was her adoped twin sister. It became clear over time that something shady had happened to my parents, that my adoptive parents were probably involved in.
They were the colony leaders of New Vega, and trying to establish an off-world gambling vacation spot. There were some dark undertones to their story, but it wasn't our story. It was clear that in the backstory, the colony had almost gone under financially.
But then me and my sister (who was played by my coworker Stephonee) went off into the wilderness and had Adventures. They involved discovering alien ruins of some significance, that put New Vega on the map. Clearly some pulp adventures had been had.
We were returning home after spending several weeks on our expedition, and were jubilant that there was a brand new American Airlines spaceport as we were coming out of the jungle. This signified the colony's success. And we were super famous and beloved. We got to the port and into the autocab, and were asked for our authorization, and my sister just said, "We're the Benjins." And immediately the crowds parted and we got a shuttle home, which was the top floor of a fancy Vegas-style casino. Our cats really had missed us! There was also a race through the casino doing all sorts of things you shouldn't really do, except nobody complained because we were us.
This was a fairly elaborate and coherent dream-story! I could probably expand this into a young-adult story. But even if I don't, I had quite an adventure, and woke up in a fabulous mood!
Also, there was an earlier dream where someone had opened a portal to the prehistoric past (ala Terra Nova) and been dumb enough to let hordes of Dinosaurs escape into the modern world. There was a lot of time spent running from T-Rexes and Velociraptors, and at one point I was talking to the President about intentionally triggering a new Ice Age as the only way to be safe. But then I said screw it and moved to Kotlik, Alaska to live with aberdeen until the whole mess blew over. This dream wasn't as fun, because I really didn't want to be killed by a dinosaur.
