Green Dreams is a Kirk/Spock story by Dana Austin Marsh.

It was published in the print zine First Time #14.

Summary

"After the meld on Melkot, Kirk has dreams of a lover who turns out to be himself."

Excerpt

"As Kirk lay down and pulled the covers up over his body, he let his mind recall the events of the day. He felt again the overwhelming frustration of being caught in the Melkotian trap, forced, no matter what they had thought of, to replay the fateful fight at the OK Corral."

Reactions and Reviews

Kirk experiences erotic dreams without knowing that they originate from Spock. It’s fun to read about his reaction to those dreams in thoughts and feelings. That Romulan interlude is something of a downer. Kirk not putting two and two together is very unlikely, especially after that bridge scene. [1]

There is originality in the idea of Kirk receiving Spock's erotic dreams about him without realizing their source. Nevertheless, there is a basic problem with the concept. I don't agree that shielding against Kirk should be such a terrible hardship for Spock. Unless Spock is an incompetent telepath, he should be able to shield at any time. Spock also says in this story that he leaks telepathicaily under conditions of stress. If this were so, he could never have stood up to the mind sifter in "Errand of Mercy". Shields are especially necessary in stressful situations. I didn't find this story very believable. [2]
