What Does An Astronaut Dream About? | Short Film Showcase


on the odd occasion that I do remember
my dreams and quite often I have a dream
where I’m back in space and I’m floating
down one of the very long mere modules
so I would be going past it’s a nice
sort of slow rate really sedate and then
there’s a window approaching and as I
look out and see the earth with some
blue sea and the gorgeous brilliant
white clouds and that curvature of the
earth my eyes used to the bright lights
inside the space station so I didn’t see
the stars so it just looked black on the
top and then floating the opposite
direction coming to join me as first
sagaie and then my other crew mates who
were up there and we just stay around
this window and together we don’t say
anything in my dream we’re just there I
can hear them breathing and I can feel
their warmth because we’re really quite
close to each other and we’re all just
everybody talks about how beautiful the
earth looks
I always felt in a strange way both at
once disconnected and connected to the
earth because I really didn’t feel like
I was part of it anymore and I was
actually looking back at the earth and
yet I knew that that was my home that
was where I wanted to return I
absolutely wanted to go back
astronauts just look out and see the
physical geography and we talk about the
countries that we can see and as course
you’re looking at them in different
orientations and then after a day or two
you stop talking about that and you
starting to talk about things that
you’re missing on earth it’s all to do
with the people that you remember back
on earth our families our friends and
when we go over countries we don’t think
about the geography below as we think
about the people who were there and
hopefully future meetings with them
so how does that dream ends I just
remember then usually I gently wake up
and that’s it yes and I’m always very
disappointed that I’ve woken up because
I wanted to be back in space
