I had a really great dream last night and I'm actually remembering to post it!

[gement]

I dreamed I encountered Jon Pertwee in an airport. Just heading opposite directions in the hall, all wearing ugly airport clothes. But I froze, and we did the body language that members of my family would sum up as the song lyric:
"Now you know that I know
that you know who I am.
Now you know that I know
you are my biggest fan."

And he responded with the slightly open body posture that said, "I've got a few minutes and not that many people can recognize me cold in an airport these days, so would you like an autograph?"

And I said out loud, "Oh, that's okay."

He said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, but thanks. Thanks."

He smiled and nodded at me, and I said, "Um, but could I shake your hand?"

And he did the slight pause of someone who's been touched uninvited by fans, and then smiled again and shook my hand. He got my hand oddly, like the third part of the standard four-part secret handshake, so our thumbs were wrapped around, which was entertaining.

And then we nodded at each other and got on our way in the airport.

What with him being dead, it was really great to get to meet him.


Edited to add: I think I'm forgetting a fragment in the initial communication, because I think he complimented my scarf. He was wearing some kind of (very non Whovian) knitted and brightly colored scarf as well, which I found entertaining. It was mostly that regrettable shade of synthetic aqua and had wavy edges.

That's a lovely dream! I've had Jon Pertwee on my mind, too, since we were talking companions last night, and Liz Shaw came up. :)

I love that dream.
For some reason I imagine him having huge basketball-lifting hands, like his fingers would wrap clear around your hand.

My strongest impression was that his skin was incredibly soft, which matches my RL experience of very old people's skin.

I was about as tall as he was in the dream, which I only realized was REALLY IMPRESSIVE when I woke up. Apparently I am a giant in my dreams.

I like that thought.
(Both, but particularly the giant one.)

I'm so glad he didn't talk to you just using his eyeballs and just a little bit of his eyebrows!!

But such eyebrows! Just imagine the grammar Jon Pertwee's eyeballs and eyebrows could develop!
