Exciting Dreams

Had a slew of Sherlock Holmes dreams last night, including one which was basically a gender-swapped version of 'The Copper Beeches,' and a steampunk one that I didn't get to see the end of, but which had a sequence where the heroine is kidnapped by someone with a skyhook and a zeppelin, and then escapes by seizing an inflatable raft and jumping while they're over a river, after telling the villain she trusts gravity more than she trusts him.

Later, she regroups with Holmes and Watson, and they come across a password-locked entrance which turns out to be very "speak friend and enter" -- as Holmes points out, it's a door - the logical thing to say is "open." He has to say it three times, though, because the first couple of times the door tries to trick him with false images of different rooms he can't enter.
