Notes: prompts – dream & droid.
Droids are not supposed to dream. The maker did not think it a necessary part of their functioning.
Threepio knows this, as he knows so many things, yet in this one thing, he doubts his own databanks.
Dreams come from a natural mind, capable of processes far beyond computerised systems, but Threepio has seen things, imagined things, surely dreamed things that he cannot quantify.
A young boy. A loving mother. A pretty girl. A kindly man.
A muddle of times, places, names and faces that cannot ever have been real.
Only a dream - what other explanation could there be?
