Season 7, Episode 6
Androids and Nightmares.
1 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
ST:TNG:158 - "Phantasms" (Stardate: 47225.7) - this is the 6th episode of the 7th and last season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

While Geordi is installing a new warp core on the Enterprise, Data, having experienced his first nightmare, talks with Counselor Troi who encourages him to keep experiencing these bad dreams though he's apprehensive about doing so. Soon, after another nightmare, he "oversleeps" since his internal chronometer fails. Data soon experiences strange hallucinations and begins attacking Troi!

But what is causing his nightmares? Watch this intriguing episode that delves further into Data's dreams (as began in "Birthright, Part I").

Trivia note: Clyde Kusatsu reprises his role as Admiral Nakamura (the last time we saw him was in the second season episode "The Measure Of A Man", another Data-oriented episode). Worf mentions his son Alexander. And we also see Data's cat Spot again (which Worf turns out to be allergic to), right as Data goes to bed!
