I think one scene in my dream had to do with flying in some sort of biplane to somewhere I wasn't ready to go. This probably stems from the computer game I'm playing, in which I'm trying to find an alternate mode of transportation to get to a new area, and I suspect (from reading the names of the music files in the game) that it will be an airship.

On the subject of computer games, don't you HATE triggers? You know, those things in adventure games where you need to do something completely unrelated to set up the conditions for another quest? I suppose it's preferable to having to wait for a certain real time interval, but it's still frustrating.

For instance, in the particular game I'm playing (I won't say which one so it isn't too much of a spoiler), there was one particularly annoying part where I wanted to get into a dwarf mine. Well, to get in the mine, I needed to get the dwarf password -- fair enough. I even knew where to find a dwarf, and also what dwarves like more than anything else: moldy cheese. In fact, I even knew where to find some moldy cheese! However, I couldn't pick it up (because it was "not so moldy yet" in the words of the person collecting it) until I advanced the main quest, which involved fighting an unconnected individual on the other side of the continent.

Right now I'm waiting on a shipment of exotic fruit, so I can give it to a hermit dude and get a truth mirror. However, I have this sneaking suspicion that I have to advance the main quest first, which is also proving difficult.

Reality check. Which is why I want to find an airship.
