Starts off taking place on a habitable desert-like exoplanet. It's all sand, sand dunes, with outcrops of rock. It's very hot. There is this man wandering around the planet. His clothing reminds me of Van Helsing crossover with some cowboy. He's one of the first astronauts to visit this planet, to help prepare it for human colonization.
Near the landing zone, one of the astronauts sets up a saloon-style shack. It looks very run down on the outside, but more saloon-ish and high tech inside. There are monitors and cables everywhere contrasting against the wooden tables and chairs and bar and stuff. There is a quick scene where I microwave some cheese pizza here.
The dream changes to present time, maybe only a few years into the future of present. I'm in a computer lab with a lot of old computers dating around 2000-2003, the same kind we used in "computer class" in elementary school. There's even an old mac off in the corner, and one semi-modern computer from my high school days.
All of the computers are not working, they're shut off. I turn on one of the computers in the middle table, and start to create an AI. I watch its readings as it grows and becomes a True AI. It takes on a female personality. Her name is Shelly (or Molly). She has admin access to the whole "network" and is actually the one in control, running everything. We then create a subordinate AI for her who takes on a male personality. I don't remember his name.
Some time later we duplicate Shelly/Molly and send a copy of her on the ship to the aforementioned exoplanet.
It is in this timeframe where I have a conversation with a younger form of the astronaut earlier. We talk about how final it is/would be to travel so deep into space. How if we got sick or an accident occurred, that would be it for us. He mentions how impatient he is to go into space, and how when we finally achieve the means we'll be too old to go. I tell him it is not that far away, to wait until 2070 or 2060. That we will definitely be able to go.
The dream changes to an unknown time period, but style suggests modern time with ancient clothing/architecture. There are these large standing arches situated around the world. With the "key" or "password" spoken, the arches can be activated and you may travel between them. Kind of like teleportation, but their behavior is more like a wormhole. They're connected in a special way, so that you may only travel one way. The few I remember from my dream are located in Hong Kong, somewhere in Canada, somewhere near the Mediterranean coast, and another in Scandinavia. They're attached in that order. You can't travel in reverse.
I'm with people who are my (dream) family near the arch in Hong Kong. The password was "TransAsia" probably because I was reading that plane crash news article the other day. From that one we travelled to the one in Canada, and then to the one in the Mediterranean. I don't remember the password for the Canadian arch.
The arch in the Mediterranean was lost some time ago, and actually, this arch is special. This arch leads you to the "true" wormhole portal, which is hidden somewhere and is always active. There's also a labyrinth between the fake arch and the real portal, and ANOTHER labyrinth on the other side, the one in Scandinavia. The arch (and labyrinth) in Scandinavia is underground, and it's hard to locate unless you know exactly where it is.
There's a scene where it's like a family banquet. This is in the past. There are portraits up on the wall showing the family tree. There's relatively low lighting with skinny windows and an overcast sky outside.
Fastforward some years (present dream time). The head of the family has been murdered/died; he was the only one who knew the password for the Mediterranean arch, AND the correct path for the twin labyrinths. There's some sort of investigation going on, and I'm one of the prime investigators. The two "outsider" children from the banquet are now adult men.
I don't remember quite how the investigation goes on, but there's something about a ghost, and going underground. Like ruins underneath a building.
And there's a family on vacation, who were hoping to go back home through the arch system.
We solve the investigation and locate the password. I forget what it is now. We travel through the arch with the vacationing family.
And then I wake up.
