Basically you were a player playing a RPG quest game and you could recruit other members for your team to help you find the lost artifact. Along the way you would journey to planets, buy star ships, upgrade them, do battle in space, land on planets to carry out your quests, and gain material to sell and upgrade your weapons, armor, and so on. Do battle on planets, in space, and on bases and ships.

sounds like you have more interesting dreams than me...and Last night, i dreamt that i was a wizard with nanotechnology and a terminater was coming after me. and that's about par for my dreams. there was more before that, but that's what i remember.
If you dreamed what I dreamed, you would commit suicide.
I don't know about that. I've had a few winners from time to time. Like this morning, before my alarm clock woke me up, I had some sort of 24 inspired dream in which for some reason, I was helping Jack, then like in most dreams, things start going Salvador Dalish and start getting really weird. Then the alarm went off, and I didn't finish my dream. Sometimes I'd like to shoot the guy who came up with the idea of clocks designed to wake us up too dang early.

there are techniques to control dreams. you could probably find a webpage somewhere.

generally, controlling what you dream about involves controlling what you think about. I always make a consious effort to keep my thoughts 'decent' but my subconsious is usually pretty grizzly. thus, so are my dreams - when i can remember them.

most of the time, im lucky enough not to be able to remember the things.

i've found that practice helps, so does falling asleep while concentrating on something, although that takes practice to work.

I can't go to sleep while I'm concentrating on something.

I need the complete absence of mental activity. Of course, once I fall asleep, that's a different matter.

well, just try keeping it somewhere in your mind.

I realize and can control about a fourth of the dreams I have. I often, upon realizing it is a dream, start to laugh at the power I possess. The people in the dream look at me like I am insane and that makes me laugh even more. I took one former boss and propelled that jackedassed weasel MF through a wall and that was so utterly and completely satisfying that I did not want to wake up. I wanted to continue beating him to death.... Oh wait, its a dream.... CRAP! Now I am awake!

Dreams are a lot of fun, source of a lot of pain, and seldom remembered. Nightmares, well they are far worse than one can imagine, and seldom do I realize they are what they are until after the catastrophie has occured.

my dreams aren't too much fun. I realize they're dreams, but what happens in a dream is usually what you expect to happen. not what you want to happen, what you expect to happen.

and thats almost always bloody murder.

On a happier note, and back to topic:

I did have a cool dream about space empires a few years ago. I think it was after someone posted a shipset or a 3d image rendered from their shipset. This fleet of blue and grey angular ships and fighters were bombarding this bright blue planet with cannons and beam weapons, and I had a moveable perspective of the whole thing. I seem to remember drop ships moving in to land troops, and these massive ships lumbering passed me and fireing brilliant purple beams into the atmosphere. there was no sound at all, either because im well aware that there is no sound in vaccuum, and it really irritates me that sci-fi shows feed you engine noises and cannon sound FX, or because i usually play with the sound off. Or maybe i just wasnt dreaming with that night.
