Dream journal
The protagonist, who looks sorta like a young Nathan Fillion, is in training as a spaceship pilot. They put him in a flight simulator, explaining that for this scenario there's 200,000 miles between the planet and the moon, plenty of room to get used to the simulator. He promptly crashes into the planet. On subsequent runs, he manages to avoid crashing into the planet or the moon, but on several occasions he's near the planet's surface, escaping from some apocalyptic, mythic scene (at one point there's a three-headed hell dog) when the supervisor intervenes to stop the simulation before the next thing in the familiar myth happens. He gets the reputation of somebody who attracts trouble and mishap from miles away.
In a subsequent episode, he's actually assigned to a crew, but has gotten in trouble again and is covered with cuts, bruises, and black eyes. On his way to detention, he hears the captain talking about what source might have a bunch of tickets to a big-deal basketball game back on the home planet, and he pipes up "might I be a source?" Nobody believes he can get the tickets, but they give him a chance to try. In the next scene, he's sitting on stage in a shiny white suit, playing a string bass across his lap: he's taken the strings off the bridge so they're really slack, but he's plucking them and getting amazing deep sounds out of the instrument. He puts the strings back on the bridge and continues plucking, getting amazing less-deep sounds out of the instrument. He comes to the end of the piece and the audience, including the ship crew who thought they were going to a basketball game, erupts in thundering applause as he invites some of the other performers from earlier in the concert back onto stage behind him to join in the bows. Who knew he could do that?
I think there was another episode, but I've lost it now. However, throughout both of the above episodes, there was a feeling of familiarity, as though I (the watcher) had had this dream before.
