My dream about the Voice & Diction final
I dreamed I went to take my Voice and Diction final, but it was taught by Steve from Blue's Clues, and it was set in this enormous room that had a *massive* television set and a huge aquarium in front of it. We spent the first 10 minutes or so warming up, but then we started reviewing what Steve called the "basic human expressions." He had a slideshow of all these pictures of cartoon fish making expressions, with words below them: "HAPPY." "SHAME." "ANGRY." Then he said, "Oh, but never mind, you're really only going to need to know these three for the test," and he wrote, "Happy, Lindsay, Shame" on the board.
For some reason, though, he made us stand up and practice all the expressions anyway. He asked Nate Adams (who was, for some reason, a shark, and was sitting in the aquarium) to show the happy expression, and he did. Then he asked him for the shame expression, and Nate said he didn't know how to look sad, so we all gave him suggestions.
Then it became clear that Steve was a rather disgusting individual. He started accidentally throwing up, and so he threw up into a cup, thought this was hilarious, and went around offering it to everyone to drink. When that didn't work, he made two weird concoctions - one was a large bowl of onions and Hot Wheel cars, and the other was a cup with Chex Mix, peanut butter, and milk. He kept trying to get us to eat these, but we kept refusing, so he finally said, "Well, good! Because really we're having pizza." The rest of our final consisted of us eating pizza.
