Where the tan caterpillar proposes to me
I dreamed there was a tiny tan caterpillar who was in love with me and he kept crawling up next to my ear and proposing to me and I'd say no and flick him off my ear onto the ground. Heh.

Where we redo the ATTWO play in ancient Roman garb
I dreamed that I was at drama and Jayme decided we were going to go thru the "And Then There Was One" play again for the next several practices, but focus on different people every time. Like nitpick them, I guess. She decided 'twould be Clayhorn and Mimms today. We get ready to start the scene and by a strange coincidence I am wearing my Mimms outfit 'cept the apron is tied around my neck and my Sunday skirt instead of the black dress. And Canaan is wearing his butler outfit, I think, except in hindsight it was nothing LIKE the butler outfit. It was like a green and red toga. *blink* Yeah.
We start going thru the scene. And we get as far as when he's supposed to pop up from behind the couch. So not very far. And he's not behind the couch, he's sitting on it. I'm a bit confused as he's supposed to be behind the couch, and sort of stop and look at Jayme, who says, "This is just a rehearsal. Don't worry. Just sit on him."
Needless to say I'm a bit taken aback by this instruction, and Jayme says, "Let's go back to your last line." But nobody can remember WHAT my last line is. (Thinking on it while I'm awake it would be, erm, my very first line. Since I only say one line before he's supposed to jump up. Hmm.)
I hunt around in my folder and finally find the script, except it's in an actual book instead of just a bunch of stapled papers. I open it up and realize my last line is something in FRENCH. I tell Jayme about this and she says, "Oh, yeah, we cut all that stuff out." I look through the script and discover there is a lot of stuff we never did in our performance.
Kayla goes up to practice next and I'm reading along with her in my script, but she reads one of the cut-out parts... a scene 5, where she rants and raves about the insanity of '60s music. But she also mentions "Hairspray." Whee!
At some point, too, Bethany was wheeling herself around in a wheelchair... hmm..

Where Mom, Dad, and Jayme rewrite ATTWO
I dreamed that my mom read the "And Then There Was One" play but didn't like it, so she, Dad, and Jayme all got together and rewrote the play for only six people. So I came to drama practice tonight and Jayme was there and was like, "We have to start all ooooover!"

Where I go to Hero's Jr
I dreamed that my family and I sat around eating food from some fast food burger place called Hero's. Then I went to driver's ed again except this time like half the family was with me - all my brothers anyway. So I was hungry and looking around for a Hero's Jr (why a Junior, I have no clue) and there was one just across the street. But when I went over to get food from it it turned out to be called FFN's and it was a sub place. So I ordered a sub anyway and the woman made it and asked, "Would you like a non-radioactive beef-flavored case to carry it in?" and I was like, "Sure!" So she wraps it up in aluminum foil and hands it to me and I carry it under my arm all the way home.

Where Will Turner explores caves
I dreamed that I was on a missions trip. We were divided into three groups and were going out doing different stuff. But the first two groups primarily stayed together and the third was exploring caves and stuff.
Everybody was supposed to pair up and in the third group Will Turner (from POTC, except sometimes his name was Abel) and this old guy with an accent who obviously studied like rocks and dinosaurs and fun stuff like that were paired up. Except the old guy also worked on this TV show called "Lion's Den," and kept stopping to sign autographs and tell people about the show. Since Will/Abel couldn't go ahead without his partner, he would have to wait for the old guy to finish and then finally rejoin the group.
They came into this room that was apparently like a witch doctor's home in this cave. There were yellow instrument thingies everywhere and the old guy picked them up and was trying to demonstrate how they were used, except Will/Abel had just seen the tour guide explain how they were used, so he was like, "Seen it," and the old guy huffily put them back down.
Then all of a sudden we heard this yell and something that sounded like "EIGHTY!" - apparently the witch doctor was practicing in the next room - and a bunch of yellow bats came flying into the cave and then into the next room where the doctor was. The guy kept yelling "EIGHTY!" and more and more bats would show up and I kept levitating so that they would fly under me and not attack me.

Where the youth group makes prank calls
I had this really, really long rambling dream. I'm going to try to recount as much of it as I can. I was in the living room when I look out the window and the church van is pulling into our driveway. It's full of teens. (Well, not full, on later count there were only like 7 people.)
So I go outside and they open the door and tell me that they're going to some coffee place to hang out. So I say, "Okay, hold on, let me go check with my mother." So I go inside but can't find Mom anywhere, and when I turn around, everybody has followed me inside.
Now I can see who's there - it's Amanda, Angela, Canaan, Hannah A., and Katie. Except Angela and Hannah A. are all dressed up in these fancy gowns with LOTS and LOTS of makeup on. I don't see Katie and Manda at that point, but I assume they're dressed up too. "I'll be back in a moment," I say. "I'm going to go change."
They whip out a pair of shorts and hand them to me. "Don't bother," they say. "Just wear these." So I put them on and say, "This is as dressed up as I get." Then I notice Manda's just in shorts and a T-shirt, too, so I don't feel so stupid anymore.
We decide to go upstairs and hang out at the top of my stairs and make prank phone calls to people. (Uh, yeah, this is definitely a youth group appropriate activity...)
So we were doing that upstairs and having lots of fun when suddenly Manda stands up and says, "A few days ago Tyler shot a globe and killed himself." (Okay, note on this - the globe obviously was in my head because I had been listening to the Princess In Pink audiobook, where somebody tries to drop a globe on their head to kill themselves.)
Nobody seems very surprised or even dismayed at this news, they all just nod and then we go back to our prank phone calls.
Later, I'm cleaning out my basement and decide to go out with the youth group again. Mom asks me what I'm doing and I say, "I'm feeling very social today. This may never, ever happen again." So she says okay. So instead of calling people up and inviting them out to do something, I go upstairs and turn on my radio, because I know that I'll hear our prank calls on there. (Hardly hanging out with the youth group, but ah well.) But the radio's playing a prank call that's like horribly obscene (really it wasn't, it was a conversation about Tweety, it just struck me as being obscene) and I sit there thinking, "We didn't do that... did we?"
There was also something where Amanda tells me as we go out to the van (apparently we decided to go somewhere after all) something about her mom being mad at someone or someone being mad at her mom... I wasn't quite sure.

Where anti-Christian Shannon is at Campus Crusade
I dreamed that I was at a Campus Crusade meeting held in the youth room of the church. There was this girl named Shannon who looked like Rach(a?)el S. who was really anti-Christianity and kept saying, "If this is all you're gonna talk about, I don't know WHY I'm here." (Um... hello, 'tis a Campus Crusade meeting, it's a Bible study. Heh...)
Then we went on a missions trip and this Shannon chick went with us for some odd reason. And we ate bunches and bunches of corn on the cob and at the very end we all threw the corn husks at some guy who was sitting at a table eating.
