Dreaming about Commies

Last night, I had a dream about an undetectable Soviet battleship that could "float underwater" (not sure how that's different than a submarine, but it looks like an ocean liner with gun ports sailing underwater). In my dream, the Soviets "decommissioned" them all by blowing them up in the middle of the ocean so that their super secret design would not fall into the hands of the Americans. I'm not sure why they were being decommissioned, since it was the mid-1980's and the cold war was still in full swing, but that thought didn't occur to me in the dream. Unbeknownst to the commie government, one of the ships had been stolen by a sadistic rogue Soviet navy captain and a crew of equally sadistic rogue Soviet commandos, who sailed it all the way to America and attempted to take over an American town and hold it for ransom. Since it was the 1980's, they had to call Arnold Schwarzenegger to come in and save the day. The really cool thing about the dream was that it looked like it was filmed in the style of a 1980's action flick. Dialogue, clothing styles, special effects, and even cinematography were all reminiscent of movies like "Commando," "Rambo," and, of course, "Die Hard." Very cool.
