mash up
So I had a dream that was a mashup of “Inception”, Starcraft II, and the archetypical American Western.
Like a lot of science-fiction, Starcraft is basically based on Westerns anyway: the post-Civil War era, exiled Southerners, the frontier, manifest destiny, outlaws, frontier justice, the Indian Wars. The noble savage, the dangerous wildlife.
But it basically involved trying to manipulate a couple of outlaws into starting a revolution.
I knew I should’ve written down the details when I first woke up, but I’ve always been bad at doing that.
