dream description from ???

I'm cleaning off my computer desktop and found dream.txt, created on June 8 2008, saying the following:

* large ship containing platoon out for years, we all thought we were just in training, turns out we were actually fighting
* I was hypnotized (as platoon commandeR) such that I wouldn't remember the actual battles adn still think we were all joking
* Some team member or I figured it out and hypnotized me and we were able to see wat was going on
* We retruend to earth, and relativity had the effect that Earth hadn't aged too much perhaps 50 years and once we docked we all began to age immediately into old folks
* One of the couples had a child who instead regressed back to being a baby? mine?
* started with me competing against three others in command school
* had these tasks to do that pitted us against each other, computers - both physical and mental
* remember being on the ship and wanting to log onto IRC, but realizing we had no terminals - we had plenty of opportunities for games and fraternization with each other, because we had to have that bond and be a good fighting team. But no contact with the outside world, because well we were in space and they wouldn't let us know it
* Once I remembered, dream turned into computer simulation of what we had done. our ship looked kind of like a scorpion! crawling around other planet, fighting other scorpion ships, you could see where we took damage and crawled amongst buildings - not quite like Tron, but similar. At one point we were pretty much bullrushing through groups of civilians. Ship was not actually that big, really, large dormatory
* Then there was simulation of what would happen if we won - kind of a flowchart where this green dot on a globe had several green lines coming off of it, and the successes we had followed down specific lines, but unfortunately it seemed we were heading towards a final dot that referred to destroying our own world (by pissing off enemies? by accident? had our near-relativistic speed pushed the Earth's orbit off course?)

Due to the spelling,etc errors therein, I assume I wrote this JUST after waking up to try to get the dream down before I forgot it. Interesting!
