Paging Dr. Freud
I had some weird-as-fuck dreams last night. The main one revolved around Fuller House. I have not watched this Full House reboot -- I'm a little afraid that it will be terrible and I'll hate it. I also kind of hate Candace Cameron because she and her brother are all about some really toxic religious bullshit, and I'd rather just remember DJ as DJ, you know? Anyway that doesn't matter. In my dream, I watched the show.
Actually, my dream started with reading a review that one of my other LJ friends had written about the show, which stated that it was kind of terrible, but also obvious that the network (lol, netflix) had thrown their whole budget into the show to make it a success. So in my dream, this is a big budget show, with sprawling sets and lots of marquee cameos from actors that have nothing to do with anything -- Jeff Goldblum is the main one I remember.
Anyway the dream/show started by explaining how DJ became a single mother. DJ, Stephanie, Kimmy, and DJ's husband are all cheerleaders for a professional ice hockey team. The show features several sequences of them doing fancy professional cheerleading stunts, but because those actors are not actually gymnasts or dancers, the footage was just stock footage of cheerleaders with their heads edited on (very badly). It was hilariously awful. But anyway one day Mr. DJ doesn't show up to work. There's an earthquake, and we find out he'd been in the subway and trapped underground by the quake. Later in that episode he's confirmed dead and it's a real downer.
Then there are some shots of DJ doing really pornographic things in her cheerleader uniform, which I can only imagine are inserted into the show for some sex appeal. Anyway.
And that was pretty much the last I saw of the Tanners in this "episode." It moved on to other parts of the set, and I guess they were still vaguely involved, but at this point, I'm in the set. I know it's just TV, and I start to realize I'm dreaming, also. Then there are all these fight scenes, and I'm caught in the middle. And I keep getting hurt. I "wake up" from my dream in a lot of pain, and I show Toby scratches all over my arms, telling him they came from this dream and it's so fucked up. I "go back to sleep" and I can't escape these fucking fights. It HURTS. I was seriously in pain and really scared, because I knew I was dreaming but I couldn't make it stop. Eventually I did wake up for real, and I didn't have any real injuries, but the dream went on for quite a while and it was really painful.
So...that was weird. I'd like my night back, please.
