recording dreams

Saturday morning I woke from a very complex dream involving time travel by train. I guess I will never be the hero, even in my dreams, as my role was to inventory and clean the various props needed to enable the time travelers to fit in properly with the selected time. I particularly was opening crates and checking china and silver teapots to make sure they were clean.
I think the concept was that the train stops were different times in one place.
Has anyone done time travel where the travelers/researchers pose as servants rather than someone from the upper classes?
