Summary: After an accident on the bridge, Tom Paris losses his memory and begins having a dream about a woman he can't remember. Now he has to try and find out what the dream means. Feedback is welcome.

He was sure he had been dreaming but now,as he tried to wake fully, he was not sure what his dream was about. He only knew that it had been quite real. As he laid there on his back he frowned as he tried to place the images together to make some sense. He had been in a meadow with a stream flowing through the landscape. There were flowers and he remembered the sound of the birds in the trees. He was on his back watching the clouds drift overhead and he felt he was where he was supposed to be. He was with his wife, and she was also looking at the clouds. They were cuddling and he was extremely happy. But now, he felt he was not in a meadow at all. The sound of birds was replaced with a hum and the sound of voices. But as he opened his eyes, the light assaulted his senses and he closed them against the brightness. He tried to concentrate on the voices he heard, but it only intensified the ache in his temples. He softly groaned and began to rub his head to help rid himself of the pain. He reached out with his hand and felt the material that was draped over him and realized he was lying on some sort of bed. Nothing seemed real, and once again he felt that he was somewhere he shouldn't be. What had happened? He searched his mind for answers, but came up with nothing. It was then that he realized that he didn't know where he was or even who he was. He tried to concentrate on what the two people were saying.

"Doctor, how is he? Is he going to be okay?"

The Doctor answered in a soft voice and said

"Captain he sustained a trauma to his head and although I have repaired the damage, he may have some difficulties for a few days. There is no telling how extensive it will be right now."

"What kind of difficulties are we talking about Doctor?"

She seemed worried and wanted to know exactly what to expect with her chief pilot. The Doctor shrugged and said.

"It could be anything from headaches to blurred eyesight to some disorientation of his motor skills. I really can't say until he wakes up."

He tried to raise himself into a sitting position, but the pain in his head came on in a rush, and he gasped in pain and quickly laid back down. After a moment he realized that the voices had stopped and as he opened his eyes he saw that two people were peering down at him,one with a look of concern and the one who the doctor said was a captain with a worried look on her face. The doctor looked at him and said

"Ah Mr Paris, I see you have rejoined the living."

He was scanning him and didn't notice the look of panic on the young man's face.

They were strangers and he did not recognize them. He didn't even know who he was. The doctor had called him *Mr Paris* was that his name? He frowned as he racked his brain to remember something, but the only thing he could remember was the meadow and how happy he had been there. Was it a real place or was it a dream?

The woman laid her hand on his shoulder, and he flinched out of her touch as if the touch was painful. He looked up at her with confusion and whispered

"Where am I?"

The woman frowned at him and turned to the doctor with a questioning look. The doctor raised an eyebrow and looked at the young man on the bio-bed and said

"You're in sickbay, and you sustained a head injury when we encountered that spacial anomaly. You were beamed to sickbay, and once again I was able to fix your injury. I must say your hard head has saved you once again"

He looked at the two people and after a moment said

"You called me Mr. Paris..Is that who I am?"

Now the captain was worried. Her pilot seemed to be getting more confused and she didn't like it.

"Tom" she said softly and gently laid her hand on his "Don't you remember who you are?"

His blue eyes looked into her blue-gray ones and tried to remember, but after a moment his eyes clouded over, and he seem to be defeated and shook his head. He couldn't remember who he was or anything about his life. Tears came to his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

The captain took a deep breath and said

"You are Lt. Thomas Eugene Paris and you are Chief Conn Officer and the best pilot on this ship, USS Voyager. Three hours ago we encountered a spacial anomaly and as we were trying to pull away from it, the ship encountered heavy turbulence and you were thrown from your station and hit your head hard on the deck."

He was looking at her with a frown on his face and after a moment he shook his head.

"I don't remember any of that. I don't remember anything since I woke up...except, that I was outside in a meadow, laying in the grass watching the clouds in the sky. It was a place that I felt happy in."

Again he tried to remember but after a moment he just closed his eyes and again tears slipped down his cheeks. Why couldn't he remember? Everything seemed so fuzzy. Was it a dream, or was it real? He just didn't know. His head was beginning to hurt again as he tried to remember. He felt something press against his neck and heard a hiss and then the pain started to lessen and he started to feel drowsy. He laid back down, and as he began to drift off to sleep, he heard the captain say

"Doctor, I want you to get to the bottom of this. We need Tom back."

The Doctor looked at the now sleeping man and nodded. The Captain turned and left sickbay and the Doctor turned and pulled the blanket up around Tom's body. He stood for a moment and if anyone had been in the room they would have seen the look of worry and affection on his face as he watched the man sleeping. Mr Paris was his favorite crew member and he was determined to get him well again. He gently reached out and brushed back a lock of hair from the man's forehead and then sighing, he went into his office to study the brain scans he had taken earlier to see what he had missed.
