The Dream Walkers
The Enterprise crew experience waking dreams of previous missions.

Background information
 This story is a sequel of sorts to Janice Rand's TOS Season 1 appearances.
 Although Rand is a chief petty officer in her next chronological canon appearance (), she is mentioned here to have gained the rank of lieutenant due to her skill at secret intelligence missions. Perhaps her officer status was kept secret to maintain her effectiveness as a clandestine agent, a supposition that could explain why she was later shown to be a commander () but again shown later as a master chief petty officer (), and finally as simultaneously being a lieutenant junior grade and lieutenant commander (during  and ).
