Where I'm late for drama
I dreamed that I decided to walk to the church for a drama meeting. I had gotten to about the library when I realized I was going to be horribly late, when I rounded a corner and there was the church. We were meeting in one of the old drama rooms - specifically, the one by the fellowship hall. As I walked up, drama was ending (I guess I was late after all), and as everyone was leaving, Amber said something about my having a fiance. I figured she was just being weird, so I responded, "No, YOU'VE got a fiance." (Which isn't that great a retort anyway.) She found this hilarious and laughed for like ten minutes.

Where we're doing skits for the AWANA leaders' appreciation
I dreamed we were doing the AWANA skit in drama to thank the leaders for having worked this year, except we were doing a series of skits. The first one was a serious one. In fact, it was the human video of Chris Rice's "Untitled Hymn" that we did a ways back.
Then we did this really, really stupid one that had no spiritual point at all and was mostly adlibbed. It involved like... being able to switch between worlds. There was this big dance pad on the floor, and it had four sections around the edge and then one in the middle. If you jumped in the middle and then on to one of the sections, it would switch to that world. I remember World #2 was like "Party" or something, and World #4 had a picture of stars and the sun on it and it was titled "Madness" and if I jumped on it we'd be transported to this world where everyone was nuts. At one point we also had people positioned in the audience to stand up and start acting crazy. I'm not sure why we did this. Why would we want to scare these people any more than they probably already were?
When it was finished, Jayme whispered to me, "That was horrible." I said no, it had gone well.
We had two more skits to do, one was silly and one was serious. There was a break, though, and we started mulling around and putting the set away. Melanie showed up in what was apparently a giant radish costume, but we told her she didn't have to wear it yet. So she took it off, and underneath she had this ENORMOUS fancy blue gown with like... giant ruffles around her neck. I remember one shot of her where she was walking out of the sanctuary, dragging the radish costume behind her.
Before we were to perform the other skits (one which featured the radish costume), Dacia had a song to sing. Well, at first it was Dacia. And at first she was singing "Untitled Hymn" but she kept laughing because she didn't know we were going to do a skit on it. As she walked closer to us, though, I saw it was really Carly, who was in the drama team LAST year, and she was singing parts of "Untitled Hymn" but parts of just her own song. Also, she was absolutely horrible. She kept trying to sing opera-like notes and changing keys all over the place. It was one of the worst singing jobs I've ever heard, and that includes Oi Holy Night. Amber was sitting next to me, and she pointed this out to me: "She's awful."

Where Trenton sings Superchick in falsetto
I dreamed we were doing the play and going over a scene between Trenton and Amber. Part of Trenton's part was to sing "Wonder" by Superchic[k] which is not even an appropriate song for him to sing contentwise. We stopped him halfway through the song and asked him to start over for some reason or other, and he started over, but sang it like an octave higher than he was, all in falsetto. It was horrible. Jayme said, "Well, start that over, and this time, maybe let your emotion show through." I went over and said, "Erm...don't we want to tell him to lower the key too?" and she said, "Oh, yeah, probably."

Where Chloe is a killer
I dreamed I went to the drama murder mystery party, except it was at my house. We had discovered who the murderer was, and now were waiting for kids' parents to come and take them home. Amber was pacing around outside on the front porch, and Chloe was with her. I went upstairs, where Dianna, Amanda, Jayme, Joey, and Canaan were gathered in the bathroom. I went in and started talking with them.
Chloe came in at that moment, except her eyes were sort of glazed over and kept twitching, as if she couldn't see very well out of them. I asked her where Amber was, and she said, "Oh, you know her. She's still downstairs."
Suddenly I knew Chloe was a real killer and had killed Amber. There was a sharp knife on the bathroom floor, and I picked it up but knew I wasn't strong enough to try to attack her, so I gave the knife to Dianna. Dianna walked toward her and tried to stab Chloe in the chest, but Chloe pushed the knife back up toward Dianna and somehow got a hold of the knife. At the point, she slashed Dianna's throat several times and then stabbed her in the stomach. This is the most gruesome dream I have had in my entire life. I could *feel* the pain of the knife cutting me open, even though it wasn't really me, it was Dianna. I woke up in a panic and couldn't go back to sleep for forty-five minutes.
