Classic Space Dream Catcher
The planet of Lem 5 was a vital part of the Classic Space system. It's vast tea plantations provided the leaves for a refreshing brew at the end of a hard day of rushing around, exploring and smiling. Unfortunately the planet started to become uninhabitable, due to people experiencing terrible nightmares. Sometimes spacemen would dream that they were being sucked into the vacuum of space, due to their space helmet losing its visor. Even worse were the dreams where there was no cake to go with the tea.
To combat this problem, a brilliant physicist, Andrei Tarkovsky, invented the "Dream Catcher" spaceship. It would hang in space, above the heads of sleeping spacemen and filter the bad dreams out of the atmosphere. The ship was built in a hurry, using a spare pod for the pilot and some left over engines, attached to Tarkovsky's invention.
The nightmares were collected in a large tank at the back of the Dream Catcher and then stored in a old spaceship. When it was full, this ship was safely pushed over the event horizon, into a black hole and forgotten.
The Dream Catcher was eventually retired when the problem was discovered to be a Blacktron plot. Evil agents had established a hidden base on the moon which orbits Lem 5. Inside was a machine for beaming bad dreams into the atmosphere of the planet. The machine was disabled and the spacemen could happily sleep again, dreaming of earl grey and battenburg.
Fourth Wall:
It's all David Alexander Smith's fault...
