I had three dreams this morning. But I couldn’t remember the third one so here are the first two:
I was watching “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” yesterday and I was surprised to learn that the guys who wrote the script for the movie were Cormac and Marianne Wibberley. They were the same ones who wrote the script for “National Treasure” (erroneously attributed to “Pirates” scribes Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot). You might not notice the connection until you hear Cameron Diaz going on about clues referring to a place on the Hollywood strip where gangsters were supposed to meet. Her line which includes words like "star" and "galaxy" is similar to Nicholas Cage’s “The secret lies with Charlotte” line in “National Treasure”.
Anyway, in my dream we were following clues leading to some secret treasure. Besides, “me”, I don’t remember who the rest of the “we” were. We were in this dingy corner of a rundown alley of a slum district where we were supposed to be looking for writings on a wall. It was then that I found myself staring at this concrete wall and for some reason; that was where I imagined the writings were supposed to be (hidden by paint, I presumed). I walked over to the wall and began rubbing the paint off and…sure enough, there was writing underneath.
My next dream is kind of embarrassing. In it, I was a Jedi Knight. That’s not the embarrassing part. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and if someone asked me what my religion was, I’d mark myself down as a Jedi straight away. No. The embarrassing part is while I dreamt of myself as a Jedi, I dreamt of myself as the worst Jedi in the galaxy.
In my dream, I was a Jedi…and I’d done something really, really stupid…and really, really catastrophic. I don’t remember what it was but…well, imagine Jar Jar as a Jedi Knight and you’ll probably get an idea. For better or worse, the Jedi Council ordered me to undergo “basic training” all over again. But what I found really odd was that the “manual” they gave me was written backwards! On the one hand, you’d think they’d make it easier for me the second time by giving me a manual that’s written in simple Galactic Basic. On the other hand, the manual might have been written by Yoda…which would explain a lot.
I did this cartoon for my Deviant Art page a couple of weeks ago. Right now, it seems eerily prophetic.
Update: 'Just saw the "National Treasure 2" trailer. Everybody's got a new look though I wonder what's up with Nicholas Cage's hair. Also, Cormac and Marianne Wibberley are collectively listed in the credits as "The Wibberleys".
More updates: 'Just saw the trailer for "Clone Wars 2". Suh-weet!
