Another meme and SW dreams

I forgot to mention yesterday my latest bizarre SW dream. Then I go and have another one last night. I'm sure I've had many more than I can remember, but here are the ones that have kind of stuck out over the years.
When I was about 8 or 9, I had a dream about going to the store and finding SW toilet paper. This must have been at the first onslaught of ANH merchandise ;).
When I was 18, I had a dream about Han and Leia on The Newlywed Game. Han kept blowing the answers and Leia kept whacking him on the head with the placards. Yet they won anyway. The prize for our galactic couple? A new washer and dryer! I think I woke up laughing.
Not too long before TPM came out, I dreamed I went to go see it with my family in some small shoebox movie theater. The sound was awful, the movie itself made no sense (I still remember there was a scene with an eagle flying over the Tatooine desert), and it had a strange musical score. Everyone hated it; my brother even said, "That sucked!" I couldn't admit that it really was awful. (Of course the real thing was much, much better, but it's ironic that I sort of predicted the backlash.)
About 4 years ago, I dreamed that Ewan worked in my office. When I told everyone I was going on a trip, he offered to pack for me. I brought my suitcase and clothes to work and Ewan packed everything, right there on his desk. What a guy ;).
Two nights ago, I dreamed that I was taking my brother and his girlfriend to the airport to catch a flight to London. I lost them in the crowd, but I spot Obi-Wan (ROTS version) walking in the other direction. I call him over and greet him with "Hiiiiii!" Like we were old friends or something. Perhaps I recognized him from my Ewan dream :). He was like, "Oh, hi, how are you" in his relentlessly placid Jedi way. I have no idea what we were talking about, but he kept stroking his beard while we were chatting. Perhaps I should've warned him about his former padawan.
Then last night, my brother and his girlfriend show up again as I go with them to some film festival. I kept expecting something SW-related to come up on the screen. But then I worried I'd have to put some with sarcastic commentary from my brother and his girlfriend, so I was sort of hoping against it as well. After a while, they disappear, or I forget about them, and a SW documentary comes on. Except it was more of a reality show type thing and I saw several of the ROTS actors and crew (except for Hayden, Ewan, and Samuel L. Jackson), all wet, like they'd been rained on, standing on a muddy hill. They were all complaining about Samuel L. Jackson (?!), how he's a nice guy onscreen but off-camera he's a jerk. I was really surprised they'd complain about him. I also couldn't figure out why Natalie was in regular clothes, her hair not done, and had no makeup on. After the film festival, I left and I don't recall too much what happens after that.
