It was time for me to leave, so I returned [Little Sister] to [Woman I Loved]. I approached the inverted sattelite dish, but when I clicked my remote, I got an error message, there wasn't enough power. I reconnected and readjusted the power source for the sattelite dish and tried again multiple times, but it wasn't working. A screen came up, and I began talking to someone about why it wasn't working. It turned out that, because of tariffs, I either had to use a remote with its own power supply, or use the transporter's onscreen menu to use the transporter's power supply. My remote didn't have an independant power supply, but I didn't know what address was assigned to my home dimension, because my remote was just a silver box with two white buttons. I selected the top entry in the list of options, hoping it would be my previous location. It wasn't, and I was sent to an unfamiliar gravel lot with portable buildings. 10/11

On the plus side, at least I was out of enemy territory. On the minus, I was lost, and unsure of how to get back to my home dimension. I decided the best course was to stay put, and started to consider my options, looking for some sort of transporter history, or seeing if I could find my home dimension in a list of known locations, or somehow extracting the information I needed from my remote. At this point I woke up again, feeling very light headed and disorented from how vivid and stressful my dream had been. It was 10:30am, but I was still exhausted, and struggling to wake up. I eventually got up, because I didn't want to have any more dreams, but I still spent most of the day feeling like I was about to enter some sort of fugue state or something. At this point I was pretty sure it wasn't the huge dinner or melatonin that was to blame. Moral of the story: don't skip your meds! 11/11
