I had a dream

A big bertha like cannon fires at my city at the very high blast zone radius. I am in my room, watching people run in fear as the local military agent orders us to evacuate as soon as possible. I grab and pack my laptop. But unfortunately, I trip as I get hit by the explosion from either the cannon or from terrorist forces that also attack the city. I fainted and think that I am already dead.

But suddenly, instead of going to the grave realm, I wake up in the room with the wide window and command panels. It turns out I went coma for hundreds of years. The unknown rescue forces saved me after the destruction of the city and sent me to the cryo chamber. Not only that, they built cybernetic parts on me and turned me into a cyborg. I also get instant knowledge of military commanding and fighting, thanks to the implants they gave.


And now I got a storyline idea after I wake up and writing this post:
The Secrets of Ayers Rock (music for Zero-K opening menu) plays in the background.
"Where am I... I thought I am already dead," I think. I look at my hands and see my left hand is covered by a cybernetic part. "Cyborg arm?" I think that I have turned into a cyborg. I try to touch my left side of my face. [Idk if I am actually a full cyborg or not]. While doing so, the wide window with the command panels beneath it pulls my attention. I walk to the panels and stare at the window. I see the landscape of the barren hillside and lookup below. There is a battle between two sides. I can see Grizzly-like robot fires the beam, assault tanks roam around with their tracks, and fighters thrust their jets as they fly toward their target.

Suddenly, a transmission calls at me: "Welcome back, commander! I am glad you are awake..."
To be continued... or not...

The next story that I will communicate to the higher commander of an unknown faction. He will order me to command my forces with the commander unit I was in for the whole time after I woke up. My commanding knowledge and skill have increased as I ever played a real-time strategy game (specifically Total Annihilation-like game) before my city was destroyed.

Unfortunately, I barely can write or sketch this in real life because the storyline cuts forever as I wake up. My dream is visually vague sometimes but has a vivid narrative. This is likely because I feel very bad after I can't tell a story in real life anymore, although I still can draw silhouette illustrations to tell a story. The dream wants to entertain me by putting myself as the main character of the dream. But I want my dream to not cut the story 'till the end. Do you think I should Lucid Dream or something?
Now I want to dream about Hilda character has been eventually crucified as she was responsible for the collapse of my art page growth, my imaginary world, and the loss of a deep feeling that I still don't know its name until today.

Your civilian life ends and you suddenly are a war machine

Is this a metaphor for draft

I never heard that metaphor before
and I believe this ain't a reference from the first mission of Zero-K campaign

again, I don't want to make a whole story arc in real life anymore. If I want to make a story, I gotta prepare all the elements of the story, like characters and settings. Not to mention the character's true desire that will form an arc premise.

Never hurts to try. Kind of life changing experience in any case. There is also a new development called "interactive dreaming" which may interest you as well.

Is that as same as Lucid Dream
or a little bit different

It's different, see here for example: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210218114018.htm

I see, so it's basically connecting the communication between the real world and the dream realm.
I am sorta interested but there are no people I can interact with. And there is no such thing yet as connecting the dream realm to cyberspace (the internet).
