Weird.
I dreamt that I was simultaneously watching and taking part in a 90's action movie starring Tom Cruise. The weird thing was that I was the female lead starring alongside Tom. At some points during the dream, the story felt real. At other points, I felt as if I were acting (as a female character but not as a female), and at still other points I felt as if I were watching everything unfold.
Anyway, I was the daughter of parents from a well known/respected royal couple, and their only offspring. They were very protective of me, something I resented deeply. They wouldn't let me go out on my own even. At the beginning of the dream I had snuck away from them in a college town and was listening to some punk music as I made my way to the college (my plan was to sneak into a lecture and sit in on it). I had shortish dyed black hair, a purple backpack with a few patches and buttons on it, and some punk-ish clothes.
As I neared the school, I heard my dad's voice call me from his vehicle not far behind me. I started running from him. Moments later, a big grey van sped through town as if it were fleeing from something. The driver slammed on the breaks next to me. Tom Cruise leaned his head out the window and told me to get in. Being the rebellious girl I was, I did exactly as he said.
Tom then swerved around traffic until he made it to the freeway. Once he was the I asked him a few questions about what he was doing, and he gave me some generic answers about putting an end to some evil corporation.
We talked about a few other random things, then we ended up at some factory. I stayed in the van whilst Tom ran about sabotaging the place. We sped away. Tom told me he needed a safe place to hide away, and I said my parent's mansion would be good for that, so that is where we went.
Tom reluctantly joined me as I went inside. I introduced him to the family, and we had an awkward dinner. My dad asked him tons of questions, and he usually gave some sort of witty and vague answer to them. I caught my dad trying to secretly phone the police when he excused himself to go to the bathroom, so I grabbed Tom and led him out of there.
As we were making our way out to the van, Bill Fashbaugh (a real-life friend of mine) met us there and said he wanted to drive for a while. Tom and I weren't opposed, so we sat in the backseat as Bill drove.
A ways down the road, there was supposed to be a 'make-out' scene. At this point I was conscious that I was a male acting as a female in a movie, so Tom and I pretended to make out in a rather comical way, making the crew and other cast laugh.
Suddenly I was back to believing the movie was real, and Bill swerved off the road and flipped the van because he was trying to cook macaroni and cheese in the passenger seat. Tom, Bill, and I all stumbled out of the vehicle unscathed, but the macaroni had flown quite a distance and hit a group of business women having a late-night coffee meeting (one of whom was played by Tina Fey for some reason). Tina's character also happened to be a police officer, so she began investigating.
Bill, Tom, and I all acted as if we were merely passers by who had witness the scene, and we rushed to the women to make sure they were ok. Tina seemed a bit suspicious, but she didn't act on her suspicions at first.
Bill managed to pick-pocket one of the ladies, and Tom pick-pocketed two of the others, and we started walking quickly toward their cars. Tom dropped one of the sets of keys on the way, which made Tina realize that hers were missing.
I said, "We only have two sets of keys and their are four cars to choose from. Which one is the right one?"
Then I awoke, a male once again.
