But anyway, I saw the 1999 catalog.

Well, one page of it.

OK, it was in a dream.

But I'll describe it anyway.  It was a very odd catalog page, because
it mixed stuff that was definitely Ninja with other stuff that strongly
resembled Classic (blue-n-grey) Space, and I think an insectoids set but
I can't be sure.

I remember looking hard for the Ninja set that had the old guy with the
beard and the funny hat, and I couldn't find it in the picture.  There
was another tower-looking structure in the regular Ninja color scheme,
and a small house (front and sides only) in red, yellow and blue, with
a roof that lifted off so you could look inside and see the younger
samurai guy sitting in a chair, drinking something, and I kid you not,
watching TV footage of the moon landing.

I think I need to lay off the spicy chili before bedtime.

Well, what do you think, sirs?

No sweat

Very often I have a dream that I am in some shop and notice either old
discontinued sets or sets that I really want (ie - 40 knights in one castle
minifig pack - that's how they SHOULD make them;)  So I could either say that
the ID is running wild and I am expressing my unconscious desires (but trust me
- they are very conscious), or that I am trying to compensate for all the things
that I haven't done that day... I don't know anything else about dreams other
than fact that I am pretty upset when I wake up, as all my plans involving my
new sets are toast...
