Outer Space!

I am also particularly fond of dreams that include characters I love that others have created. :) Did I mention I love Science Fiction? Be it book, movie or television, it is a rich playground indeed. I also adore insects..

In part of the dream we are in a casual meeting room with a replicator, couches and a board table. It’s where officers prepare for the day reading reports, having coffee, and catching up. (Next generation) Picard looks like he is wearing a grey “on leave” outfit. Troi and Riker are also present.

An alien vessel is hovering in the sky passively. Stephen Harper ascends a ramp in a computerized machine along with one of the aliens. He successfully navigates the ceremonial greeting and opening of talks/negotiations. Unfortunately as the talks progress Harper does or says something that completely disrupts things. (though what it is exactly is unknown).  Spock, Picard and some of his officers are called upon to amend the situation. They realize they must tread very carefully now.

The story starts out centred around a group of people who are capable of space travel. They are a moderately sized group between 100-300 people (approx). A smaller group of scouts/specialists is attempting to fix a marooned space ship orbiting a dim planet. On the surface there is an encampment and the landscape is somewhat barren to the untrained eye. The people are in conflict with and possibly fleeing another group.

These people have trained incredibly large insect like creatures to help with transport, they are also capable of space travel. (These ones similar in appearance to Giant Water Bugs, roughly the size of a truck)

There is some sort of element that is found all throughout the universe, but is concentrated in certain pockets. Another at least 4x larger insect creature has discovered the human activity and is curious and follows them to the dim planet (which always seems to be in state of twilight). In the dream I am now in the perspective of the large creature and am speaking with one of the giant water bugs, the people do not realize how intelligent their companions are. Something that the humans are doing or perhaps the planet itself has created an unusual concentration of the element. The smaller creature tells the respected larger that they have been able to "reach Gaia" because of this. The larger creature reflects on the incredible possibilities of this.

What I have forgotten is the extensive scene with some of the people attempting to complete a particular operation/mission in space.
