Been thinking about movie making a lot lately, for various reasons, and because I've also been thinking about the (in production) film Serenity my subconscious blended them together last night and I had some pretty spectacular dreams. Lots of swasbuckling, including a wild "rescue" from a large moving boat (Serenity is piloted down close enough for me to grab Jayne's wrist and be pulled up a la "True Lies"). Apparently I was supposed to meet the crew at a given time to leave the planet, but the boat I was "working" on decided to leave an hour early! I radioed my predicament and was told (by Jayne, of course) to tough it out...they'd get me when the ship returned. Next thing I knew I saw Serenity shooting toward the boat. "Whoops! There's my ride!" I radioed that I was climbing up into the superstructure, which I promptly did, and antics ensued. Wacky fun!
It was my favorite kind of dream series, with great production values, music, and an actual plot (sort of). Unfortunately it makes me want to stay in bed all morning...

A significant moment in this dream was where I knew the ship was on its way and I needed to hustle to a place where they could pick me up. I was carrying a few personal items which were, as per usual in my dreams, scattered around. Usually this degrades into a nightmare of sorts involving frantic packing and the surreal multiplication of items; the more I stuff in the bag the more items there are to pack ad infinitum, until my window of oportunity (a train or plane to catch, etc.) has long passed. This time I rolled up a tent and stuffed it in my pack, along with a couple of other things...and hightailed it to the top of the superstructure!
The reason I mention this is because I feel this is a major breakthrough in my subconscious life. What does it symbolize? Not sure exactly, but it feels really good. Maybe it just means that, when I have a good goal to work toward, nothing can stop me. I could symbolize a step in maturity (ha)...or I could be reading way too much into it. Whatever it "means", it was a very gratifying moment. Almost as big a moment as when the series of dreams I had as a child, about being pushed off a cliff, ended with my thwarting the pusher by jumping off on my own and flying away...
