This happens to me a lot. When I was into Buffy, I had a lot of Buffy-themed dreams, so I suppose the clock was ticking for a Smith dream. If I'm into something long enough, I have dreams about it.
First off, no, there was absolutely nothing sexual about it. NOTHING.
Scenario:
Smith and Mewes were signing stuff at a store, but in separate rooms for some reason. Oddity: this must have been the worst-promoted signing of their careers, because the only people who knew about it were customers just walking in off the street. No lines around the entire city, as is usually the case. No lines, period.
I had no merchandise with me, so chatted with Mewes first as the lines permitted, then left to chat with Smith. No one was at his table, but he seemed content that Mewes was getting more attention. Even in my dreams I can't escape "me," and since I'm notoriously shy, I spent most of my time trying to gather up the courage to start a conversation. I was able to break the ice by helping Smith find things in the store that were unfamiliar to him. The manager had set up a food table for the signings, so Smith ordered a sandwich for himself, then one for ME, which surprised me. It turned out to be his thanks for my help. We then sat next to each other to eat, and I lamented aloud that I'd forgotten to bring my Jay and Silent Bob plush dolls to give to him.
"Bring them to Chicago, then," he said.
"Hm?"
"You're going to (some con's name) in Chicago this Wednesday, right?"
"Um... no, I can't just take off work and fly out to Chicago with you in the middle of the week."
"Ah, you gotta go there. It's a great convention."
"Well, yeah, I'm sure it is, but I can't fly out there on a whim like that!"
-------------------
I woke up shortly after that dream-chat started, so I don't think more was said.
Now this is just sad. I dream that I meet Smith and Mewes in person, and end up arguing with the guy. How pedestrian. Hmph.
