I am on the set of a game show. There are 3 contestants, 2 of whom are actors from the show Numb3rs. I am curious about why they’re on this show when they have good jobs so I ask them. It’s almost as if they forgot about the show they work on. The woman mentions that she would like to see that night’s episode of Lost at one of the screenings (this apparently happens at movie theaters because of the popularity of the show). I’m not familiar with the town we’re in (none of us are), but I leave the taping to see if there’s a movie theater close by. I’m in a downtown area that’s seen better days but is trying to revitalize. There is an old movie theater, but it’s closed and there are some homeless men lying about. There is a dress shop with a sign advertising that they carry Zac Posen. It seems unlikely in this little town that there would be designer clothes. I go into the store and tell them about the actress who might need a dress tonight. They assure me that they’ll be open. I get in a car and drive down the freeway a bit. I see a large, modern shopping mall that seems to have a movie theater. I take the exit. My car is a tiny thing, like a Mini or maybe smaller. I can drive the car into the mall, there is a specially marked lane. I drive to the movie theater entrance and ask about the Lost screening. They are sold out for the early showing and are taking reservations for the 10pm showing. I get the phone number and tell the man that I will call him back if the actress decides to come.
I am with another woman, a new friend who is an actress (the dream seems related to the last one, but this is a different actress). We swap stories about an actor that we’ve both worked with, although my friend is shocked when I tell her how long ago it was that I last acted. We get into a small square of stiff material; it’s a sort of basket for some sort of hang glider thing. There are lots of them, and everyone is trying to lift off at the same time. Once we get going it’s quite delightful. We are moving along a road set in from a cliff. There are signs of camp sites along the road where some scouting group has been recently. I risk riding a thermal over the side of the cliff (it’s not terribly high); the river below is gorgeous and the feeling is amazing.
