In my dream I was a new cadet in a Star Fleet academy. I was recruited into the IT section, and was never going to pilot a spaceship, but at the induction I was shown a video that included a section on discipline all over the academy.

While training was rigorous in all departments, the future pilots, it seemed, had the harshest discipline of all, and were subject to frequent floggings. The video included a clip from a public caning, so that new recruits had complete understanding of the sort of trouble their friends from the pilot training course could get into.

I had never before then wanted to be a pilot, but at the moment when I saw the induction video I was painfully envious of their strict regime. I resolved to see if a transfer was available, and if not, I decided to misbehave so badly that the instructors would simply have to resort to caning me as well.

I don’t know what on earth I was thinking, but apparently, my dream self was a very pervy young woman.
