This time it's been a week since I had this dream, and yet it's as vivid as it was when I woke up from it. Actually, it's 2 dreams that are actually linked, one from a month earlier, the other one from last week.

3, 2, 1, action ...

I'm touring a city, our lodging is a hotel, with high class commercial/conference style washrooms. Somebody was in there and they weren't suppose to be. I go in to wash my hands and my face, the only person in there now is my friend who finished taking a shower. The girls knock and call for us to hurry up. So we listen to them, and hurry to our tour bus to ...

(this is where the 2 dreams overlap as in the 1st one ends after the observation of the area, and the 2nd one begins with the observation of the area)

The area infront of the hotel is a 5 road intersection (a star) and a court area from the hotel to the intersection, the surrounding area is buildings, which could be used for anything, and small shops lining the first floor of those buildings. Tourism, and people are travelling all around here, it's the afternoon, with the sky full of clouds, but not the darkness of storms.

(this is where the 2nd dream becomes different from the first)

My friend wants to go into the souvenir shop to buy something. I not wanting to spend until the last minute told him I'll just window shop. So I staring inside looking in at all the goods, a man comes up behind me. Press gently a knife behind my back, but not stabbing me. He tells me to follow him or he'll kill me, my friends and my family. I follow since he appears serious with his bold statement. We flash to what appears to be very large cargo holding room, it's been makeshifted to have a few subdivisions of cubicles for rooms, and shutters for privacy.

The man asks me if I'm capable of first aid, and fixing wounds. I reply that I am. He tests whether I'm lying by stabbing his girl, and tells me. "Heal her, or you will die, along with your friends and family. " It's a wound to the gut, around where the intestines are, so it won't be stomach acid to worry about, just infection from the minature ecosystem in her intestines, as well as having to stitch it all layer by layer. So I have her in a room, it's basically a military stretcher, and the tools to stitch and do a bit of cuttings. His girl is very beautiful physically, and very suggestive with her tongue. I stitch the intestines that were open in her, and with a very small opening to work with (small enough that even robotics in this field would be proud of), as well as stitch the remaining muscle and skin. Lastly I bandage her up. There's no blood to donate to her, so I hope that she didn't lose too much blood in the process as well as with the initial injury. At the end of this she does recover, as well as repay the favour with her own ... belongings.

Scene changes to many visions and images of confirming that I am on some type of ship. The team leaves, and I'm locked in all the time, when they come back, there's always 1 person injured (I'm glad it's not more). I always receive the same command from him "Fix them, or I kill you, your friends and your family. " I ask one night when he was watching over me. "Are my friends and family dead already? " His reply never came. I find out little about the ship, it's fast and agile. Their work always involves weapons, but apparently only conventionals as I never saw any cases of burns, or poisons. The medical facility I started with (stretcher with some incision tools and biodegradeable stitching thread) upgrades frequently. I'm never allowed to leave my room, nor the medical bay (which are the same room). At the end of this dream, I have a facility capable of doing heart bypass with a pinhole sized incision. Of course it's used to remove a bullet, and fix up the tissues that were penetrated. The girl continually tries to "repay" for all that I've done for the group, but I always stop her from fear that it will anger the man ...

CUT! That's a wrap. The end of the dream.
