Planes and promiscuity

Last night I dreamed about a new kind of flight technology. Airplanes were fitted with a long green cylinder that completely covered their tails. These cylinders propelled the planes off the ground with minimal need for runway. The planes were in the air two seconds after the cylinder activated.

Once the plane was in the air, the cylinder deflated and fell off the plane onto the ground--harmlessly, because it was made of some sort of soft fabric.

I was on one of these planes and watching another one, in that mode where I'm just an observer but then I jump into one of the dream characters' bodies. The characters in this dream happened to include Chandler and Monica from Friends. They were sitting on one side of the aisle and there was another couple on the other side, and somehow the topic of conversation got around to swinging. I think they were actually going to do it.

Where would the green fabric fall? You've still got to have space for it to land, and planes have to move fairly fast to stay airborne...

It fell in a crumpled heap in a green field right beyond the runway.
