Barque Theatre

Last night's dream: I'm standing in line, one of three lines, to board an airplane. Joe Hoffman is also in line, but a different one of the three lines for the same plane. The lines are seperated by velvet ropes, the lighting is subdued, there is wood paneling. My line moves forward and I board, looking for seat 17-A. As I find it, I notice the plane is huge, at least 20 seats across. The lighting inside too is subdued, everything feels of quality, there is no annoying airline music playing. But my seat is right behind a bulkhead, so I don't have a clear view of the screen. The screen? This is a movie theatre! I'm going to look around for a better seat. (Can I do that?) I walk astern, and find the main body of the theater, with a balcony even. The screen is a full size modern movie theater screen. The seats are very comfortable bucket seats, with lap belts and plenty of legroom, and aren't lined up squarely to the front of the plane, instead facing the screen. And there are no overhead compartments.

I wake up. Was that the interior of the new Airbus (the thing that looks like a flying apartment building)?
