Mind melds... the last time I heard the words "my mind to your mind", I had a headache for two weeks.
— Star Trek: Voyager · 1995
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker remembers a mind meld mainly for the long headache that followed. Talk of minds joining gives way to a very ordinary complaint about pain. That contrast makes an unusual experience sound less wondrous and more like something to approach warily.
