triadruidJust woke up from a very intricate and detailed science-fiction-style dream, in which the final scene involved an fight between myself and a shape-changing alien. Previously it had disguised itself as my co-worker, now it had dragged me into an airlock and (instead of just throwing me out into hard vacuum like a normal bad guy) had transformed itself into its natural form, some sort of 2-foot-long scorpion. That was bad enough, but somehow the ship's cat (a la Alien) had gotten into the airlock with us, and the alien was shapechanging itself and the cat, so that I couldn't figure out which was which. This didn't stop me from using a conveniently-placed wooden ladderback chair to beat both animals away until I could figure it out (the alien was, of course, the kitten, not the calico). Then, just before I could throw the broken alien out the airlock, it transformed my actual co-worker, who was cowering in the corner, into a half-meter long Funoodle©.
The stupidest (?) part of this was the closing voice-over informed me that this meant, in an ironic way, that he had finally achieved his Shining Path: patient, immutable, perfect, and unaffected by the cares of the world. I was not impressed with my own analogy, suffice to say... {fade to black}

In the film Logan's Run the protagonist beat up his erstwhile best friend using an American flag for part of the climactic fight, after which the friend with his dying breath indicates his belief that he has been "renewed". (At least I think that's how it went; It has been some years since I watched the movie.)
