Elvis in Space

arganoidIn the early hours of 10th April, Bongle Twonker decided to confuse Arganoid by inserting a dream into his brain. Arganoid will now recount that dream.
First, the scene was some kind of spaceship, on which Elvis lived with his wife (who was not his real-life wife). My understanding of the situation was that for some reason, Elvis was on this spaceship, and it was a tragic situation because the ship had no way of getting back to Earth (no engines or something), so he was trapped there for the rest of his life.
Their son, who was about seven years old, might also have been with them. Also Elvis's wife was looking after their other child, although this bit was very unclear. I can't remember exactly what the second child was, but it might have been a small piece of circular cardboard.
Also, there was a budgie and a hamster, and someone was tickling the hamster, and it was laughing out loud.
Next, the scene was me and my mum, I think we had just arrived at a house, and on the radio I had heard Terry Wogan presenting the Chris Moyles Show on Radio 1.
I was talking to my mum about Elvis. I was saying to her how I had always been under the impression until recently that this story about Elvis and the spaceship was actually true. When in fact everyone knows the real truth, which is that Elvis was killed in a bomb attack in a cafe in 1986. And the attack had been arranged by US politician Barry Goldwater. I saw the cafe in my dream too.
We arrived at the house, which was possibly my mum's house, and there was also this guy living there who was possibly some kind of mafia person.
Next, I was driving home from work, and everyone from work was going home too, I saw lots of them cycling and driving around. I think some of them may have been on tandems. The city streets I was driving through were not familiar to me.
Next thing I knew, I was standing on a narrow path which seemed to be in some obscure residential area. There were gardens, possibly allotments, on either side. I knew that a lot of elderly people lived in the nearby houses. It seemed somewhat remote.
I started walking along, and I'm not sure exactly what happened, but at some point I found myself inside a new Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy story. I don't know what it was all about, but there was some kind of evil being. I can kind of picture it but I don't know what it was.
I also had visions of a family watching this new HHGTG thing as a movie on the TV. They seemed disinterested though. I don't know exactly how this new story was meant to be anything to do with the old ones, except for one moment when it seemed like I was doomed, and I considered saying "So long, and thanks for all the fish".
I was trying to escape from the evil being. At some point, things morphed back to the previous location I was in. Things became increasingly unclear, but something happened to do with me somehow creating dozens of magical kittens, which floated through the air and fused with various objects in the odd tunnel I suddenly found myself running through, which I can only describe as a 'techno-sewer'. I don't know how, but the kittens were aiding my progress, perhaps removing obstacles in my way.
I can't remember much else, but there may have been a final showdown with the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy evil being. For some reason, it puts me in mind of a cash register, only blue with a tall spire in the middle. I don't know exactly what happened but I think I somehow defeated it using a receipt.
The end.
