Movie Dream

I had a dream last night that I was hanging out in a book or record store in the city, and a guy I knew came up to me (he was directing the new Friday the13th movie) and quite excitedly told me that he had gotten me a small part in the new movie. I was to play a guy who was walking down the street with his girlfriend and some old lady. I asked him who the old lady was, and he got quite irritated with me and said "just some old lady. There's always an old lady. She's just always there." So I told him that I was just trying to find my motivation for the role, and he told me "You're just walking down the street with your girlfriend, it's that simple. Why would anyone want to do that? You like being with her!"

He said "5 minutes until shooting", and then walked away. I realized I was wearing a red shirt, and would rather be wearing a blue one because I think I look better in blue, especially on camera. I ask the woman who will be playing my girlfriend what she thinks, and she says "You look very nice in red, but you're right, I think you look better in blue." (She said this as if she knew me). So we run down the street to where the film is being shot to try to get wardrobe to give me my favorite blue t-shirt, and I notice I am wearing my white Nike sneakers that I don't even own anymore, having thrown them out after going to New Orleans. When we get there, the producer is eating take-out with his assistant, but there are only 3 dinners (and 4 of us). The woman playing my girlfriend sits down and starts to eat, and I tell the director that I'll be back in 10 minutes. he gets irritated again, and says "5, or this isn't happening". I agree to 5 minutes, and then I woke up.
