"Willow"

 

Since I've not been having very pleasant dreams lately, I decided to write about one nice dream I have had this year. Ok, so it wasnt recently, but nevertheless it will be a nice change from the gloomy dreams I have been posting.

Sometime in December, i had the most amazing dream, and that's surprising, considering I stayed up late the previous night, watching that awful movie "Silent Hill", which I expected would give me frightmares all night. So what i actually ended up dreaming about was a pleasant surprise.

 My brother and I were in a strange place, which was either supposed to be a village in medieval England, or a fictional magic village like in the movie "Willow", one of my favourite child hood movies which I watched as a child in Bulgaria.

 We had just arrived and were joined by a character who looked a lot like Willow (actually, he was the same actor, Warwick Davis). But he wasn't Willow. He was nice to us and had to take us somewhere in his village, but the people of the village were not as nice and kept on wanting to scare/ torture us. As soon as we stepped into the village they let the pigs out to attack the 3 of us, and other horrible creatures too.

 The story was, the willow look-alike could do magic and was something of an outcast. Later on, he was teaching me magic and we liked each other very much. Then, I had to leave the village and when I got back I went to look for him and found him imprisoned by the evil King who had taken over this village. He was dead because he had broken his leg(or maybe just in a coma), so i decided to help him using the magic he had taught me to bring him back to life. 

I had also made a love spell for some people to fall in love. He came back to life and told me he had waited for me for a long time to return, which really moved me. Then he told me that I couldn't use magic to make people fall in love, as love is supposed to be free and cannot be controlled, not even by magic. He was in love with me, and it was mutual. The dream was coming to an end, but I could tell we were going to be together forever. Then i woke up. Damn.

 This is by far one of the best dreams I've had. Also, i have just realised that Warwick Davis is one of my favourite actors. Thats what my dreams seem to do, they make me realise my wishes and desires, in particular favourite characters and actors, which i wouldnt have acknowledged before.

 It could also be a base for a fanfic. But, I did have a lot of thinking to do, like what his name should be and who he should be. He was a Willow look-alike, so maybe he could be Willow's brother, who was separated from Willow at birth. I couldnt very well make him be Willow, as first of all Willow is happily married with children and i don't believe in stealing people's partners, even if theyre fictional; secondly, no where in my dream is it mentioned that this character is Willow (which is a relief), and finally, Im scared of copyright and to be honest, it is a lot more fun to make up your own character. Its easier for me to do that as I don't like changing an original character as they were made the way they are by their creators, and with a new character i can make them exactly the way i want them to be, i am free to chose.
