I’m not one to typically remember details of dreams but I thought I’d type this one out. Somehow I was on the set of X-Men “blah blah sequel number”<\/p>\n
Actually, I was in the movie. I remember them doing a take and I was supposed to run along side a building with blahhhblurry, blurryblah, and someone else. All I had to do was respond to a line, react and say a line.<\/p>\n
The director cut the scene after I was done and told me that my performance was horrible. That it was stiff and amateurish. I remember finding this unsettling.<\/p>\n
Now, there are few things that I humility in (not lacking humility ironically being one of them) I don’t consider myself the best actor in the world. I mean.. I don’t act for a living. But I consider myself a competent performer. I believe that I could hold my own on TV, stage or film.<\/p>\n
That being said, I felt that I wasn’t delivering an acceptable performance. I felt that I wasn’t up to par with other actors. I honestly felt to myself that my performance was weak and amateurish. Again, this was in the dream.<\/p>\n
I tried a few times and each time, it just felt wooden and lifeless. Eventually we took a break. (There was an interlude attached dream where I was on a snow covered mountain racing a thingee)<\/p>\n
When I came back, they announced that there were some budgetary issues and they were shutting down production on the Superman flick.<\/p>\n
hmmn.<\/p>\n
Now there were lots of weird elements. Due to my experience, most of my performance dreams are stage based, not film. I typically have the “lines not memorized, not prepared for, etc” dreams. Also the X-Men to Superman thing was just weird. But above all, I’ve never had my abilities either called into question or perceived myself as my abilities not being up to standard.<\/p>\n
Kinda not comfortable with the dream. Not sure what to think.<\/p>\n
weird.<\/p>\n
