Ok, first post. Here goes. I have posted this to another forum, so just wanted to make it clear I am not copying anyone.

My family (mum, dad and brother) and I went on Holiday to an orbiting space hotel. There was centrifugal gravity on each floor. The problem was that the gravity only worked if you stayed in one place, or kept moving to follow it. I'm not sure how that worked, except I knew there was some danger of floating away and being thrown 'overboard'. None of the hotel staff saw this as a problem.

One of the floors appeared to have a huge sunny beach, but it was just a hologram. It was actually a very small swimming pool which, when we got into it was about 2 metres wide. Also, the urinals in the bathrooms were full of human sh*t.

My dad went home on the second day because the bad centrifugal gravity made him feel nauseous. I thought about all the places we were flying over, which we could be visiting instead. And so the rest of us left a day later. I can't remember how we got back to Earth, but it was faster than taking the shuttle.

Later in the dream, I found a lab in large tower block building where a company were developing a hypothetical medical procedure. They could paralyse every part of you apart from your brain and mouth, and keep you in storage. And this was supposed to make you live longer, or something. I was appalled. I ran out screaming 'AAAAARRHH!', and woke up soon after.

In hindsight this is unusual for my dreams. Usually when I try and scream my mouth feels blocked. However no part of the dream was scary enough to be considered a nightmare. And I know in real life that centrifugal gravity does, not, work that way!

Possible inspiration for the space part of the dream? The current story arc of Questionable Content (which I read every weekday) has three characters visiting a space station with centrifugal gravity.

The only space dream I've had was probably in my top five coolest. I was working for some aerospace company and I was tasked to go into orbit and fix a satellite. I went up in an apollo-style space capsule with one other guy. While in space my co-worked motioned me over to a window. We were surrounded by numerous spent ICBMs and rocket boosters, just suspended there in orbit. There was something so calm and peaceful about the huge machines that I just watched them slowly rotate in the vacuum. It was then time to reenter the atmosphere so we strapped into our harnesses and began the decent. The rockets and missiles fell to earth at the exact same speed as our capsule so I watched them start to catch fire and rip apart as we got closer to the surface. Our craft eventually splashed down and I opened the hatch and just stood in the warm tropical air. All around me charred pieces of rocket and missile fell flaming into the ocean. Their fires immediately extinguished with a loud hiss. Then, it began to rain boobs, so IDK...

Jynto, what I get from your dream is that you feel that there is something wrong somewhere but other people don't realize it or don't care, or they are doing something to make things worse, without realizing what they are doing. The hotel staff not caring that you could be thrown overboard and the people defecating in the urinals and nobody cleaning them out. Also, the medical procedure that others seem to think is wonderful but you think is appalling.

sfaber34, that does sound like a cool dream, like an exciting wish fulfillment fantasy dream.
