This is a first for me: a Star Trek dream.

Judging by the uniforms and state of technology, I’d say it took place in the timeframe of TMP. I wanna say it took place sometime after TMP – McCoy was an established member of the crew, and it felt like the V’Ger incident was recent history – but only now was Spock returning to the Enterprise after leaving his Kohlinahr studies on Vulcan. Also, Kirk had a girlfriend, a lady who was totally into purple; her clothes, her makeup, and even her hair (and hairpieces) were purple.

Here’s the most memorable part of the dream. It was Halloween and most everybody on the ship was wearing a costume. McCoy, dressed as a 1920s moonshiner, had brewed his own hooch in a radiator to celebrate the occasion. When he and Kirk went to sample it, though, they both spit it out violently due to the horrid taste. Kirk then suggested they enjoy a snifter of brandy instead. Filling his brandy glass, Kirk started pouring the glass of botched booze down the sink when Spock wondered it. When Spock asked him why he was starting on the brandy without finishing the moonshine, McCoy told him it was an Earth tradition. Spock took his word for it.
