Figments of the station crew's imagination are taking form and wandering around.  It sounds like a recipe for disaster, given how numerous similar Star Trek episodes have turned out (usually the ones revolving around the holo-decks going faulty -- again).  This one actually ended up being fairly entertaining.  It's silly fluff, but it's fun, silly fluff.
O'Brien's imagination creates Rumpelstiltskin, from the nighttime story he was reading his daughter.  Bashir creates a submissive Jadzia Dax, while Ben and Jake Sisko's imagination brings a stocky Asian baseball player (who quotes Yogi Berra) back to life, two or so centuries after his death.  Outside of Ops, Odo has to deal with some kind of giant alien ostriches, and Quark has conjured up himself a couple of scantily clad Star Trek alien babes.  It's quite a bit of fun.  Naturally, there is an exterior problem (related to the imagination quirk) putting the station in danger.
The resolution of the episode tries to place a bit of seriousness back into the proceedings, but it didn't seem to make a lot of sense.  Still, all things considered, it's a fun, if lightweight episode.
