In my dream last night, I was at work, studying the small fossil reef I actually have been studying, working with the colleague I have been working with on that project, when I discovered something new and exciting about it. My old boss came in (he retired more than 10 years ago) and wanted to have a secret meeting about it, which I could not attend. While all this had been happening, I was listening to the soundtrack of the new Star Wars movie that doesn't actually exist. It had the original characters and original actors. So then I went into the room where they were having the secret meeting, to warn them about some scientific pitfall connected with the new discovery, which only I knew about. As I left the room, I heard "the new guy" (not a new guy in real life; never saw him before) very seriously say "the Empire is not what it once was, but it still deserves protecting." I went back to my office, horrified that I was working for the bad guys and hadn't known it.
