Last night I dreamed I was one of 3 people from the US who went to Ukraine to get some honey. That we were in the honey business was actually a cover for that we were journalists investigating irregularities in the international honey trade. And really it was all part of a television show.
I was the youngest of the 3 US honey traders, I think we were supposed to be brothers, the other two did most of the talking I mostly just stood and watched, but secretly I was the one in charge of all the machinery which was secretly recording everything.
We were inside a large tall room in a building somewhere in Ukraine (no evidence of a war going on in my dream). It was a commercial establishment and office, and there were lots of shelves crowded with things, some of which had clearly been sitting there for decades if not more than a century.
The leader of our group went to the owner of the business with a jar of honey, complaining "We paid for top quality honey, but you gave us bottom quality honey! Taste this!" The business head tried to brush us off, until the leader of our group told him, "Look, I have a market for top quality honey in the US, and if you can get it for us, we can both make lots of money. If you can't get top quality honey, I'll look elsewhere." So then we were trying to work things out.
Then a group of Russian spies came in with guns, and took us upstairs and were going to kill us, but somehow we escaped.
Back in the States, my character only had a few minor scenes to film. It turned out our whole adventure was just a subplot and we were minor characters in the tv series. However the tv series turned out to be very successful, the biggest hit series. I hadn't known until we were in a car on the freeway, and when the show came on everyone pulled over and stopped their cars to watch the show on their smart-phones.
The most famous episode was one where Brad Pitt and Elly May Clampett had explicit and vigorous sex on live tv (!) which became the most talked about tv episode ever. I hadn't known any of this while I was busy filming in Ukraine, but now that I was in a hit tv series, even as a minor character I was getting some good residuals as payments for all the reruns.
