<USS Avalon> In The Meanings of Dreams: Caine?s Story

In The Meanings of Dreams: Caine?s Story
By. Caine Reilly McKinsely

Caine woke up with a start and looked around her room.  She was lying in her 
bed and her sheets were tangled up around her legs.  Sighing she flopped back 
onto her pillows and stared up at the ceiling.  She had just had another dream 
about Javan, only this one was different, this one seemed so much more real. It 
had felt like he had been there with her, standing in front of her.  

Pushing her hair out of her face, Caine moved to place her feet on the ground 
and stand up but her sheets twisted tighter around her legs and she ended up 
falling and hitting the ground kind of hard.  Sitting there she laughed quietly 
to herself, I can?t believe I just did that, she thought, I haven?t clutzed out 
like that in awhile.  

Untangling her legs, she stood and walked into the bathroom rubbing her nose 
and her forehead, which she had hit hard on the floor.  Turning on the bathroom 
light, she looked at her face, her nose was a little red but now bad, but she 
could see a small bump forming on her head.  Sighing she splashed some water on 
her face and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.  

?Computer, start a hot shower with water please,? Caine asked.  Her shower 
started and steam slowly began to fill up the bathroom.  Removing her light 
blue, silk night gown, she climbed in the shower.  The water ran down her body 
and soothed her sore muscles; she had gone to the holodeck again that day and 
she was still feeling the workout.  Washing her hair and her body, she felt 
herself fully relax again and allowed her mind to float back to her dream.

It had started out normally, with Caine walking around the garden at her home; 
she could smell the roses and lilies around her.  In the distance she saw The 
Baron walking towards her a riding crop in his hand.  Caine began to run from 
him, she ran back into her house and was searching, though she didn?t know what 
she was searching for.  She was running down the halls of a huge house, finally 
she came to a door and opened it and walked in.  Suddenly, Caine was standing 
there in front of Javan and she knew that this is who she had been looking for. 
?Javan?? she asked.

?I?ve been thinking about you.?  His voice was like heaven to her ears and she 
wanted to walk into his arms and demand he hold her and fight off her demons, 
it was what she had wanted to do for awhile but hadn?t the guts to.

?Me too, that would explain your presence in my dream.? She smiled and looked 
around at the barren and desolate place that the darkness had once become. Her 
eyes darting around, trying to take everything in and figure out where she was 
and what was going on.

?Your dream? You know you?re dreaming??

?Yes, why?? Caine was confused as to why that seemed to be so important to 
Javan.

?Because you?re in my dream.?

Her eyebrow perked, ?What??

That was where the dream had ended.  Stepping out of the shower, Caine dried 
herself off and tried to figure out what the dream meant and how she could be 
in his and him in hers.  Wrapping her towel around her, she quietly brushed her 
hair and walked into the room to put on some of her civilian clothes.  She 
decided to do something that could potentially be stupid, but she was willing 
to take that chance.  Fully clothed and braiding her moist hair, Caine left her 
quarters and headed towards Javan?s quarters, she knew it was the middle of the 
night and he was most likely sleeping but she just had to know if that had 
really happened and the only person who could tell her was Javan himself.
