The healing powers of Hugh

lady_t_220You want something really fricking weird...? I dreamed a musical, and Hugh licked my forehead.
I swear, from beginning to end, I was sitting in the audience of a musical... OK, it was less a musical, more of a musical performance art piece cause it was a dream and concequently really bloody weird. It had the performers sitting with the audience, all of the action taking place in amongst the people in the seats. So much so that you couldn't always be sure that the audience really were the audience because every now and then someone you were sure was just a spectator suddenly started taking part in the show. And weird breaks kept happening, like food being vrought in and you never knew if you were supposed to get up and serve some for yourself or whether it was part of the performance.
But, so anyway. I was there with Rachael while AG and EEK were in the seats directly behind us. The seats weren't like regular theatre seats, they were more like the lecture benches we had at college cause every now and then people would get up and stand on the writing ledge as part of the performance.
We were there as a group cause we knew Hugh was in it (Sitting right at the back, far right hand corner of the middle section of seats) and he was playing the dominating husband of the lead character. I have no idea why Rachael was there... cause she really doesn't like musicals OR Hugh, but there she was...
Anyway, he didn't come into it till the end but when he did take part he was doing his bit while standing on the ledge between AG and myself, much to everyon's glee. (Though dream Rachael did turn and hiss at me "I thought you said he had 5 years voice training?" because... well, the music sucked. Hell it was MY dream of course it sucked, I'm not exactly a great composer)
However, I'm getting off topic again. So Hugh's standing on the ledge thing between AG and myself, looking down to grin and wave at us every now and then in a way that he knows is sending us all into flaky fangirls, then just as a parting shot before he leaps off down into the aisle to go and interact with the lead female, he lets slip in an annoyingly smug way that he knows my name...
(Cue much staring wide-eyed at an equally wide-eyed AG)
So blah blah blah... they do the singing bit together... arguing mostly because she wants to do something or other and he's the dominating husband and won't let her. So at some point in this musical monolgue he leaps back over to AG and starts singing at her instead, just to annoy the wife character. (As a side-note, he knew her name too, but the brief snatch of HJ singing something about marrying him and AG's breathless response of "Of course I would!" is still cracking me up)
But anyway, that done he leaps over at Eek, astounding us all further by kowing who she was as well (Though in my dream he got it right, in the light of this morning he actually got her surname wrong. It's definitely not Peterson) but I digress.
Finally gets to me and, in the short version, leaps in really close, making me twitch back in surprise which makes him laugh which then makes him loose the thread of his song which makes him stop. Then he turns back to the wife character and says something about this going on long enough and how they should use her emergency plan to end this musical. (It's kind of partially improvised, y'see... though then again it's all been so weird it wouldn't be surprusing if it turned out to be a scripted part of the play) Anyhoo, she agrees so he turns back to me, does a quick, 1-line nonsense rhyme and licks my forehead. Right between my eyebrows.
I swear, bang on that second I woke up.
I did remember the darned rhyme, but in the time it's taken me to write this it's gone again...
On a side-note, I'm also still at a loss as to why he was talking with an American accent in my dream, which is leading me to the conclusion that it WAS a scripted part of the play. Cuse he did have a little trouble remembering Eek's name...
*looks around as everyone backs away sloooooooowly...*
WHAT??
It's TRUE! Every word of that happened in my dream last night, right before I woke up. Which I know makes it less of a subconscious thing and more of a conscious thing created by my overactive imagination, but really, who cares? I enjoyed it and if I ever feel the need to write a performance art musical... at least I have a starting point.
I think it's my brain getting overexcited about The Boy From Oz next year...
This also is why this post is titled "The healing powers of Hugh" cause I feel an awful lot better this morning. Still not totally right, but better then yesterday. And this excuse works for me. ^___^ hehe
