LenI had a dream I had become a citizen of the Galactic Commons. I'd forgotten some of the details, but I'd had to write out a document on plastic film which explained who I was and my personal creed/worldview. I'd apparently done this in the appropriate writing, which was characters formed from a group of marks in the tape not unlike Braille. It has come undone from the sticky tape holding it rolled up and was being a pain.
I wandered around this shopping mall looking for a currency conversion place. Eventually I asked at a little jewellery shop, who helped me out, which I was very grateful for, they explained some stuff I'd forgotten. I wasn't sure I'd become a citizen. I said yeah I've still got my ID and healthcare card from my... (I paused to think of how to explain "Australia")... from my local faction on my home planet. I looked at some of their rings, and my mood ring disintegrated suddenly, which kind of sucked. The only bit left was a broken piece of crappy metal - as if the glass outer layer was the only thing providing structural integrity.
I wandered back the way I came and found my family, who had just come from what passes for prison here, to collect someone who'd just been released. The edge of the prison I saw was a lovely park with big fancy columns for an entrance/exit and no guards. I knew that it worked on the honour system, and commented to my family that I liked a place that was so nice that that would work.
We went to some kind of mechanic's shop, run by more Aeluons, who introduced themselves to me. One of them was old and spent most of her time in a computer. I said to my family "ohhhh I remember this from the citizenship thing", that they had said you'll need this and you'll need that and they explained about implants that let you go into a computer but then went "oh, but you don't need to bother with those if you don't want to, most Aeluon get them but you don't need to", so I didn't.
