i dreamt that i was watching a BBC documentary on a large wall-mounted tv set up against a brick wall in some dark room with short-nap green carpeting resembling AstroTurf. the doc was about a 1950s English army officer who in 1957 researched why soldiers liked to get drunk off-duty, and the officer himself was, as he put it, a "fellow barbeque head" just like his men. as i watched it, i saw the officer in archival footage joking with another officer wearing a dress uniform, and eventually i got sucked into the tv screen and was in the scene back in the day, the black and white imagery morphed into fake color then real color of the present day, and we then found ourselves in a hospital OB delivery room where a surgeon wearing scrubs was delivering a baby, the mother draped in green so we couldn't see her. the dress-uniformed officer, a captain, was continuing to josh around with the drunk researcher, a 1st lieutenant in green/khaki who btw was a bit toasted if not totally barbequed, and the captain asked the lieutenant to recite the officer's credo without looking at the guide book, and the lieutenant thought about it seriously for a bit, then acknowledged defeat, at which point the captain asked the lieutenant to recite the non-commissioned officer's creed, to which the lieutenant said "no good" and then opened his combat jacket revealing a blue officer's manual and a red non-commissioned member's guidebook as well, sticking out from liner pocket slots in the inner jacket. [I noticed also that he had weird, cryptic unit patches on his uniform, that looked almost sinister in their mystery. i wish I could have taken pictures of them and then done a reverse image search.] then i awoke.
