Crazy On You
Good morning, my Lovelies! I hope this post finds you happy, healthy, and somewhat sane. I come to you this morning fresh off of one of my recurring dreams. Yes, I said one, as I actually have quite a few recurring dreams. This one? In its simplicity, is one of my favorites, and no matter how many times I have the dream I always wake in a damn good mood. (Obviously, I don't have this dream near often enough as I'm normally an incoherent, grouchy, bitch first thing in the morning.)
So what is this mood-altering dream? Well, as some of you may know, I'm a geek. I'm actually a major geek and I really don't try to hide it. (Reference the Mandalorian tattoo on my leg.) I love Star Wars, Star Trek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Charmed, Supernatural, Transformers, etc. Marvel and DC movies? I'm down for that anytime, anywhere. I really could go on and on.
They are like a vortex for me and if I find one on, I am immediately drawn in, even if the show/movie is half over. I quote them often, and if you ever need someone to be a sure thing for Sci-Fi trivia, I'm probably your gal. (Ok, so at one point in my life I might have been known as a sure thing for other reasons... Stay with me, people. Focus!)
In this dream, I'm headed to my hometown to visit. (You'll remember I'm from a tiny town in Kentucky.) On my way there I start thinking about things in my life that just didn't happen for one reason or another. (No, I'm not sad about those things as I know that for whatever reason those things didn't happen, I'm where I'm meant to be.) So, I find myself thinking about the fact that I should have been an actress and it dawns on me that I had actually had the opportunity, but my parents had not allowed me to pursue that career. (Again, this is all a dream.)
Suddenly I remember that I did actually play a role as a supporting actor on the cult classic, Firefly. As my parents put a stop to my acting career, I only ever appeared on two episodes. But I remember how amazing the time I had with the cast and crew was, and how much I had enjoyed playing this part. Then I remember WHY I had enjoyed playing this part so much. Why is that you say? Well, that would be because I received my first kiss during one of the scenes. Yes, I dreamt that my first kiss was with Nathan Fillion.
For some reason, as I drive into my hometown I know, without a doubt that Nathan is going to be there waiting for me. And I look around at what should have been very familiar surroundings, only to discover that I am in fact not in my hometown. I am in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Then as I say, "What the hell?" I wake up.
Want to know the funniest part about the whole damn dream (at least for me)? I have never seen one episode of Firefly. Truly, not one single episode! I keep saying that I need to watch and I just never find the time. (Which is ridiculous as there were only 14 episodes and that was from 2002!) I guess we could break it down further as completely ludicrous in that 1) In 2002 I was 29 years old and very obviously no longer controlled by my parents, who never would have told me what I could or couldn't do for a career. 2) I never had ambitions of being an actress. 3) As much as I am a fan and adore Nathan Fillion, he's never been my dream man - well, with the exception of this particular dream.
I have told y'all time and again just how crazy I am. I hope after this revealing look into my dreams, you will realize I am being 100% truthful with you about everything I tell you, including the fact that I'm probably a tiny bit insane.
