So I had this .

It wasn't so much an "in the show" dream as a "being part of the cast" dream. All of us were apparently involved in this highly intensive character/team building type several-weeks-long rehearsal process. We were doing all sorts of theatre-y activities - movement, word association, improv, etc. We were getting down to near the end of the process and getting ready to start actually shooting when they (meaning TBTP) started kind of ignoring me. They'd give everyone a direction, we'd do the activity, come back and discuss and they'd skip over me and go on to the next activity.

It was terrible, I just knew I must have blown it somehow and that they were going to replace me or kick me out or something. The woman who plays Sun was very sweet, kept telling me she was sure there must be some reason, but if you've ever been in a long audition process where they stop having you participate, it's really not that good a sign. They were really pushing everyone else to go deeper with their insights and work - particularly the guy who plays Boone for some reason, they were really ragging on him. But not me. Just totally ignored.

Sun said maybe I was going to be playing the outsider and that's why they were separating me out/not including me (no one as yet knew what part they'd be playing), but I must say I wasn't very reassured. I just had that horrible heart-sick feeling and kept waiting for them to tell me, Thanks, but you can go home now. And then they had me stay down at the lower "camp" area while everyone else went up to do the next series of exercises. Naveen (the guy playing Sayid) came over and gave me this huge hug before he went up and told me it was all going to be fine, he was sure of it. (And sorry, [livejournal.com profile] miladygrey, but it was one of *those* hugs and *damn* was it fine!)

The next day someone brought in some magazines or whatever, with info released about the show and that gave us our first idea of who was going to be playing what. Naveen and Sun (sorry, can't remember her real name) brought 2 of them over and each had little pictures of the various people and what they'd be doing and there I was! It was such a huge relief that I couldn't even be excited for a few minutes. Sure enough I was the outsider and there was this crazy caption, something like "Mai - mysterious, Mensan, MI-5 (yes, I watched some of the marathon this weekend). She wasn't on the plane with them - where did she come from and why is she here?"

We just all laughed and hugged, and yeah, I cried. It was really quite a nice dream.



If I have time when I get home I'll tell ya'll about the *next* of that series of dreams, but right now I'd better head to work!

Oh yeah, it was *quite* lovely! Though not as good as the one I have from The Forgotten One with Terry O'Quinn's character. ;)

Could any dream be as good as that one? ;)

*sulks*

*pouts*

I never have cool dreams like that. Though I suppose I can't begrudge you a Naveen-hug, especially after he was the Cutest Thing Ever last episode.

*envies quietly*
