The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed my family went to see a Garfield music on stage (*shudder*). It was a dinner theater, so we're all sitting in the theater eating. At our table there's this (apparently) very rich guy (who actually looks like Jude Law in I Heart Huckabees). He vaguely knows Nathan. Mom is trying to show her knowledge of this guy by quoting his life story, but gets it all wrong, and he keeps looking at her and going, "Er... no." He also pinpointed this one movie and said that his father made it but that he didn't find the movie at all inspiring. Then a week later we're reading a quote from his agent in the paper: "He says he PROBABLY said that his father's picture WAS inspiring," which totally disgusted my mom because he was being hypocritical or something.

I dreamed that I went to the church for drama. Jayme and Dianna and I were meeting earlier, so I was there at 5:45. I went downstairs, but Jayme and I spent the whole time debating whether or not ApologetiX was a good band. She claimed that J. spent too much time "screaming the story instead of actually singing". Which beffled me, so I just said carefully, "Well... er... I generally think he sounds about as good as the artist they're parodying." Turns out the only one she'd ever heard was "Rock That Tower" which is a fun song but totally not their best. Then at 6:00 Kayla's dad turned up and said we needed to get over to the other building for an AWANA's skit. So we got up and left.

On our way up, Cindy (from Spanish) stopped me in the hallway and informed my mom had had a breakdown of some kind. So I went to the bathrooms, where I found my mom... er... like... SOBBING in the ladies' room. I asked her what on earth had happened, and it turns out there were a few reporters covering the AWANA's night. She said something like, "I know I shouldn't get so upset over something like this, but it just bothers me so much! I know I shouldn't have this fear of the media, but..." And I kept being vaguely comforting: "It's okay, Mom. It's okay. You'll be all right." Weird.

I dreamed the drama team was doing a play with the children's choir. I was not only a leader but a performer as well. It was day one, we had just gotten our lines, and we were practicing on the stage. The children started singing and the drama people started marching up onto the stage, when I realized I had forgotten my script. I walked back down off the stage to get it. Dacia stopped the music and gave me this angry glare. "You should have gotten that script BEFORE you went up on stage! Bad habits like these are going to get you in trouble some day!"

Then the same thing happened later. My character was supposed to stand in front of the set (which portrayed a blue sky and then a big wall) and catch "The Sun" as it came running down the middle aisle of the church. But I forgot my script again, so I went down off the stage just as the person playing "The Sun" (Manda maybe? No, I think it was a guy) came running down the aisle. Obviously they weren't too bright, because they still ran up the stairs and jumped as if I was going to catch them and, needless to say, they fell.

Embarrassed, I ran down to a kitchen in the basement (not the one that is down there, though, it looked different) to find a bunch of the cast members making lobster. Paula was not happy about this for some reason.

Later, I went to apologize to Dacia for the mistakes I'd made and apologized *very* profusely, and she was all, "Oh, that's all right... But the REST of these KIDS!" And I knew she meant the drama team members, although as far as I could remember they hadn't done anything wrong. She was rattling a bunch of papers (in her anguish, I guess) and was going, "Why, oh, why, did I ever agere to do this?"

I dreamed that I was Buddy from the Dick Van Dyke show, and I was sitting talking with Sally (from the same show) and all of a sudden I was paralyzed and realized she'd poisoned me and I was dying.

I had a very, very long dream... Let me see what I can remember of it.

I dreamed I went to see ApologetiX in concert again. And we got there like an hour early. (Instead of half an hour late like usual.) And J. was telling people that he would need volunteers during the show to dress up in Bible costumes. So me and all my siblings volunteered. (Heh, that oughta give 'em enough.) So J. and Karl took us into this back room and were explaining to us what we needed to do. There was a huge pile of Bible costumes in this other room and at some point during the show we were supposed to go back, put them on, and come out and dance on stage. Except Karl ends this informative lecture by saying cryptically, "Meet us in 25 at 9:10." I try to ask him to explain it and he just rolls his eyes and says something like, "You're not very bright, are you?"

However, I somehow figure it out what's going on, and at the very beginning of the show J. points to us and we all go back and change. Except (and this was weird) for a few seconds I didn't see the dream from my point of view, but from my dad's. He was waiting for us to come out of the room, looking for me for some reason. When I came out I was dressed in a red robe and fake beard. (LOL.)

So we all go up on stage. Oh, yeah, and the song we're dressing up in Biblical garb for? "Good News Boogie." Er, yeah. Nothing to do with a Bible story. It's about the BIBLE, but doesn't exactly fit with a lot of people in robes jumping around on the stage. Well, if I could even GET up on the stage. I kept falling off of it and the guys from the band keep laughing and pulling me back on. Oh, yeah, and J. was lip-synching. *gasp*

Then suddenly I'm watching a trailer for this crazy comic heist movie where twin guys are supposed to be assassinated by these twin girls who in turn are on the run from these killer twin guys, who are running from even MORE killer twin girls. I remember that the sets of twin girls were played by Mary-Kate and Ashley, and Hilary Duff and Hilary Duff. The guys were played by Nathan's friend Lance (he played both twins in one set) and then some other dude I don't remember.

There was a scene where they were all chasing each other in a mall, up and down these huge escalators, except some of them would go REALLY REALLY REALLY fast and you'd just have to like hold on for dear life or you'd get thrown off and go flying across the mall.

There was also a portion of the dream where like the entire drama team and my family were going to visit the Sandons in IN. Leonie came with us but then she found out that her family (HER family, the ones from Germany) were there and she was like, "Could you just hang me with them?" That was when I noticed that she had that odd habit of saying "hang me" instead of "drop me off", and I was trying to figure out why she said that.

I also remember a scene where my family was driving (I think on the trip to IN) and we drove past a theater which was playing Phantom of the Opera - the play - and I tried to beg Mom and Dad to let me go see it, but they wouldn't. How mean.

I wandered over to Trudee's house looking to borrow a chicken or something, and she was obviously not having a good day. She was like stomping around the house (which was HUGE) and not telling me whether she was even going to let me borrow a chicken or not. At one point she threw open the fridge and snarled and me, “Get something to eat,” and then stomped out of the house.

So I stood there a bit befuddled, and then decided to find a chicken on my own. (If she wouldn’t give it to me I’d just TAKE it.) So I wandered around looking for one but couldn’t find it. And then Canaan started suddenly appearing in a room, saying something weird and mystical and generally unhelpful in a British accent, and then disappearing. Like one time he said, “The carrot…is under…the rock!” and I think another time he said, “Don’t…put the shopping bag down…just yet!” Which always left me going, “Uh… okay… thanks? I think?”

I don’t think I ever DID find the chicken, either...

I dreamed Colin Firth came to my house because he was stuck in our town waiting for a bus or something, so he ended up at our house for like three hours. I got irate because he wouldn't... color with me? Or maybe cut out paper dolls with me? And he only spoke in the style of Victorian England... like in Pride and Prejudice. He'd be like, "That sort of activity is not conducive to the proper habits of one of my status."

I kept thinking, "Man, I need to like... keep him here until Sarah L. gets here so she can meet him." (Like she would be at my house any time soon...) I think at one point I tied his scarf to a doorknob, too, though, I can't remember why. I think I was trying to make sure he stayed attached to our door so he couldn't leave to catch his bus.

Then I wandered into my living room, that sideplot over with. (I think CF left, despite my efforts.) Lidz was on my computer, except she wouldn't look at me, and she was really tiny. I asked Mom what she was doing there, and Mom was like, "I dunno, she's just kinda there." So I tried talking to her but she was really angry. Mom wanted me to ask her if there were any teens around to comfort her (?!) but then Lidz was gone and when I tried to type it into the computer to ask her, she reacted violently and angrily to the words "mom", "teens", and "comfort". I turned to Mom and was like, "She has issues with those words. Deep issues."

I dreamed Nathan composed a song which consisted simply of "I would never punish my own drink!" over and over again.

I dreamed I was going to visit B'qi, but the visit was very... not satisfactory. I remember being very disappointed in B'qi for some reason. Like she only wanted to do weird things, and she didn't want to ever actually talk to me.

However, I dreamed that on the way up to B'qi's house, my mom and I stopped at this store and there - surprise! - was B'qi's van. B'qi waved to me and pointed toward her mom, who was standing on this hill overlooking a mall and gazing wistfully toward it. When B'qi told her mom I was there, her mom said, "Oh, well, then, she can just ride along with us!"

I remember dreaming that large pieces of my skin were peeling off. Really gross.

I had a long dream, I don't remember much of it. I do remember I was going to be going out to lunch with drama students, except I couldn't read who had signed up for it. I had a calendar with dates on it and the students signed their names. One name was literally all squiggles and loops and didn't resemble a name at all. The other was written neatly but was entirely unhelpful as to who had written it. It said something like: "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Good-bye, Mrs. Kindley."

Somehow I had deciphered that we were going to have lunch with Stefanie and Carly, who were at the same school. Mom explained that for people who could eat faster than 30 minutes there was a 15-minute lunch, and both Stefanie and Carly were in that. I said, "Well, if I know Stefanie and Carly, it's because they don't eat at all." (Que?!)

Then I turn around and Sarah J. is in our house. I think, "Ohhh, not STEFANIE, SARAH..." (Even though Sarah isn't IN drama anymore.) Jayme's also there and, for some reason, so is Lisa. Mom starts talking to them and I have to use the bathroom, so I excuse myself. When I come back, they're all gathered around the computer listening to an MP3 of me singing "Unexpected Song" and laughing at it. (That's why I don't sing "Unexpected Song." It's WAY too high for me.)

There's another part of the dream where I think Mom and Dad and I are walking on a sidewalk at night. There's a fence next to us, and this little tiny yapping dog comes running up, goes FLYING over the fence, and lands on my head.

I dreamed that Mom and all my siblings except Nathan had mysteriously vanished, so Dad, Nathan, and I were moving to this new house. On our way we stopped off at B'qi's church/school where there was an ApologetiX concert (why does my mind keep linking B'qi with ApologetiX?) and for some reason we didn't want the band so see us so we kept sneaking around.

Then I walked into one of B'qi's classes and wandered around looking for her, and suddenly she was in the back of the room walking toward me with her arms outstretched to give me a hug. And then I called her "Anuncio".
