Dream: Acting Curse

This was a wild ride of a dream. So guys I had like the most amazing and semi intense dream I've had in a long effing time and I have to share it! Reason? Chris Rankin, guy who plays Percy Weasley, was a big part of it 0.0 So i dreamt i was myself (which doesn't happen a lot these days) and I was an up-and-coming actor trying to break out into the film and tv industry. Chris Rankin was directing a new film that is in the world of magic (not JKR's magic though) and I had somehow (idk how) managed to not only audition but make it into one of the main supporting cast roles. My buddies Inu and Chas as well. Which helped cuz my goodness I woulda gotten so skittish not knowing anyone xD So anyway, Chris Rankin is directing this thing and the role he has me in is a medium but think a bit more like Klaus from Umbrella Academy where he can not only communicate with the dead but can touch them and even temporary make them "physical" as well. So like HIGH POWERED medium work.  So it was taking place in Scotland in a small village during the time of the Scottish clans. This village was a ways off from the main home of the Laird though. It was a village that had been "unclaimed" as it was said to be cursed by some sort of dark magic. Said village (idk what it was called sorry) had set up it's own governing system because of this. The main character of movie was the guy running place. Played by friggin Rupert Grint because my brain was like lets get two of your fave HP characters in one dream I guess. So Rupert is running this place. He's got a bit of a sternness to how he does things but he's trying to free his village from the curse. Enter my character. A drifter who had been brought in on a wagon. Taken from a slave market and put to work by one of "nobles" of this village. But when I spoke of the child in that noble's attic they started to get scared. Rumors were spreading that I was part of the village curse. Until word got to Rupert's character. Who chose to have a look in the attic and found a child buried in one of the walls. So Rupert buys me from the noble (who was quite petrified by me really) and has me work for him to help him try and break this curse. But then the dream shifts to show the stage and Chris in the director chair calling "cut" at all of us and letting everyone know it was time for break and we'd "resume in twenty" or something like that. Chris pulls me and my buddy Inu aside for a bit. Apparently he knew of our writing careers (which in dream we'd gotten a bit of a name for ourselves) and was asking us if we could get someone for him. He knew we had this specific connection. This led to us calling in Jo cuz he needed another person to assist in how certain scenes were done up. Like the makeup and stuff. He had a big fight scene coming up and his makeup artist had fucking bailed on him (like how rude!) so he needed someone good and fast and we suggested Jo. It shifted back to the movie situation and my character had the ghost of a slavic woman talking to her. Damn near incoherently at first till she really took in the words.  "They paved these streets with innocent blood. From their cries more blood will shed. Till their cries linger no longer and satisfied be their blood." Rupert's character looked to mine. Inu and Chas' characters exchanged fearful glances. We (our characters) were beginning to realize we might be in over our heads. ((And that's the end :D))
