Dream 023 – a contest, a TV show, a mistake



This was last night’s dream. To protect the innocent (me!), I will not reveal the name of the TV show that I was dreaming about. It is a real show and I do watch it regularly, but I’m about twice the age of the target audience so it’s somewhat embarrassing to admit it somehow made it in my dream last night. I do reveal a main character’s name below, so the comments are open for any guesses.

*start of dream*

I decide to enter a contest to write a spec script for a TV show. (If you’ve never heard of a TV spec script, eHow covers it.) The interesting part about this contest is that for the finalists, the actors from the TV show will do a reading of the script for the judges.

The writing part was a breeze, and I soon find out that I’m a finalist in the contest. I’m invited to come to a TV set to meet the actors and hear my script through their interpretation.

I’m sitting off to the side of the set when I look down at my script. To my horror, I realize that I’ve given a “character of the week” the same first name as a main character - Tyler. I start to panic as I realize the foolishness of the mistake. I look over and can see that the actors are preparing to read my script. I’m realizing that they are probably going to have the real Tyler read the other Tyler’s part and that will be a disaster.

*end of dream*
