I've had some Rufusy dreams since my last posting.
I had this one a while ago but forgot to post:
I was taking part in a rehearsal for a BBC miniseries. The miniseries was to be set in a house that looked very much like the farmhouse in Cold Comfort Farm. I was laying on my front, on the stone floor near an unused fireplace reading my script, not listening to anything that was going on. All of a sudden, I look up, and there's Rufus sitting at a gorgeous old table. He was looking very much like Ross (his hair was longer and curlier, he was wearing a big snuggly jumper and had Ross' glasses on). He too was busy studying his script and didn't notice me gawking at him. Suddenly, it was the next day and we began filming. An audience appeared out of nowhere and they applauded when Rufus' name was announced (they said it was a role reprisal, and although all the other actors starred with him in CCF, his role wasn't Seth). My dream sort of jumped ahead again (I don't know if we were filming or having another rehearsal, since my character was meant to be in love with him anyway). I was laying on my front, on the floor again, looking up at him as he spoke with another one of the actors at the same table. The actor left after a while, and Rufus studied the room, then caught me looking at him. I quickly dropped my head down, my hair falling around my face. I peeped through my hair and saw he was smiling. "Can I join you down there?" he asked. "It looks like fun." I slowly raised my head, feeling more bashful than ever. He laid down next to me, resting his head on his wrist. I think I blushed in my sleep because I could feel my face getting warm. All we did was smile and stare at each other for ages. That felt really special to me because I'm well known throughout my family to lay on the floor for no real reason (whether indoors or outdoors) and having Rufus join me there was really lovely
My other dream came to me a couple of nights ago. All I remember is the Rufusy portion. I think I was taking part in some sort of survival challenge and the "home base" or safety zone at the end was my Mum's office building. As I said, I don't remember any of the challenges, but the final challenge was for me to ride in a car. While being chased by alien zombies.
I found myself suddenly outdoors at night in the middle of nowhere.
"We're over here! Hurry!" came a woman's voice. I turned and through the dark saw the faint outline of a red convertible. I ran over to it and hopped into the back seat. The woman turned her head.
It was Rachel. Guess who was at the wheel ;D
"What are we meant to be doing?" I asked.
"We have to get to your mother's office or we all die!" Rachel said. I looked to see who was driving and Jacob turned his head and looked at me. I felt faint. He was gorgeous (as usual).
"Hi," I said faintly. He grinned and started the car. Off we went.
Rachel kept looking behind her.
"Keep looking in case I miss something," she told me, "come on Jacob, step on it."
"I'm going, I'm going. I don't know who decided on ME driving," he replied.
"Rachel..." I said. I was beginning to see some things appearing behind us.
"HOOD, FLOOR IT!" she cried and he stomped his foot on the accelerator and we flew down the road. Suddenly, Jacob started to wheeze. Rachel frowned and screamed when she saw one of the alien zombies (that were now chasing us at insane speed) had somehow gotten into the car without us noticing and was now chewing on Jacob's arm. I bashed it on the head until it let go and it fell out of the car.
"Jacob, are you OK?" I asked.
"You know, being here with the two of you, driving at warp speed down this never-ending road in the middle of nowhere, being chased by alien zombies without any chance of survival....well, it gives me the crazies." He then slowly raised his head and gave me the craziest look I've ever seen (his eyes bulged, his smile grew wide and he started foaming slightly at the mouth). Rachel looked horrified.
Suddenly he collapsed and the car started to swerve. After a few moments of screaming in terror, I pulled down his seat and raised him off of it while Rachel took the wheel. All she did was swear over and over, cursing Jacob, cursing the dark, cursing everything
I held onto Jacob tightly, and kept saying "come back to us, Jacob, please, please come back to us." I stroked his hair and kept feeling for his pulse (which was fine).
"I SEE LIGHT!" Rachel cried and pointed. Sure enough, there was my mum's office, brightly lit. We both cheered and reached it with no more trouble. Rachel parked, jumped out of the car and ran straight to the door. "Come on!" she yelled to me.
But I didn't move, and neither did Jacob.
Then I woke up. So, who knows. He and I may have been mauled by those alien zombies right at the finish line, or we may have just stayed there forever.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
