With the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit play
I had two dreams in a row. The first one involved our galaxy slowly erasing itself for no explicable scientific reason, so we had to escape to another galaxy, which we thought might kill us but we weren't sure.
Then I dreamed that I showed up at drama and we were all getting ready for this play we were supposed to do at the local high schools. We all had these bizarre costumes on - I was dressed up as a princess, and I remember Hannah A. and Joey were both dressed up as chimney sweeps. Turns out, the play we were doing was Lord of the Rings. (Um... yeah, that was my first guess.) Except the plot was really more like The Hobbit with Frodo instead of Bilbo.
We went to Sterling High and performed it there. I played Frodo and also did the voice work for Bilbo (who looked exactly like the Babylon 5 creature that says "Zog") and Gollum (who looked like a giant grasshopper). Frodo met Gollum while wandering around in this smoke-filled cave looking for Bilbo. My line was, "Bilbo! Bilbo!" Pretty easy to remember, right? Well, I messed it up, and wandered in yelling, "Gollum! Bilbo!" And was pretty sure I heard snickers coming from the audience.
Our Smaug was rather intriguing, too. He was a giant stone dragon head that we attached to a string on the ceiling and swung him back and forth over the audience's heads.
