Where I find a Jedi in the blacklight place
I dreamed I was going on a trip. It was vague where I was going... Bethany H was there, as were Olivia S and Trudee. We all piled into the back of this gray car that had mud all over the inside. I think we were going to go into a swamp or somewhere equally disgusting.
We ended up circling for hours on this winding mountain road which eventually turned into the inside of a building entirely lit by black lights. At some point I got out of the car and was searching through this building for someone I knew.
I saw someone with a green lightsaber coming down the hallway, accompanied by a little child, and I flew up to the ceiling (whoa, who knew I could do that?) and hid there. When the guy came by, I jumped down and tried to run down the hallway he'd just come from, but he saw me. He threw his lightsaber down on the ground and yelled angrily, "I'm a JEDI, not a master, okay?"

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..

With Steak 'n' Shake, chili milkshakes, and the lady with the pink feather boa
I had one of those long involved dreams where EVERYONE is in it. I remember being in a car with Katie, sitting in the passenger seat. She was driving me and a couple girls somewhere, and the guys were following in a car behind us. Except there really weren't any other girls in the van, but Tim (well he's her brother so I guess that makes sense in sort of a dream way that she has to drive him wherever we're going) and Ethan were both there and complaining about this school parade they were in together. (Although considering one's at SHS and one's at...er, whatever middle school is in Milledgeville, that's rather unlikely that they'd be in a school parade together.) Apparently some gym teacher, a Mr. someone-or-other, was notorious for doing cheesy things at these parades.
The girls (or...er, what was supposed to be the girls' car anyway) arrived at our destination and the guys were there already and very irate, because we didn't wait for them at some place. "You were supposed to wait!" they kept saying. "And we were waiting for you to wait!"
The other bits I remember is us all being in the van on our way home from a missions trip (see, it's that missions trip coming back to haunt me again) and PJ stopped off at a McDonald's for people to go in and eat. I somehow magically transported a strawberry milkshake (ew) from Steak & Shake across the street into the seat next to me. As soon as I got it, however, I realized I didn't really like strawberry and much preferred chocolate. Then PJ and the rest of the peoples showed up and PJ said, "I forgot to mention you guys could go across to Steak & Shake if you wanted!" Then he started up the van and said, "Yeah...I had about 20 of those shakes last night...yum!"
Then we were in the church basement talking and Melanie had a can of 7-Up and she and Bethany were mixing it with her milkshake (sort of like a root beer float I suppose except a 7-Up float) and they were all amazed by how the ice cream settled to the bottom and the 7-Up stayed up at the top. Nich pointed out that he and Jayme usually put chili in between the layers of ice cream and 7-Up, and everyone responded appropriately: "Ew!!!"
Then we were in the church basement but it was really an airplane, and this really goofy-looking lady walks in with like a feather boa and a stupid hat on. She goes up to the front row, removes Andie's baby seat from a chair, and seats herself there and says with this really goofy voice, "I think I'll sit here." Paula apparently got really ticked off about that, and stood up and gave this long speech about how she was "Imammitating" us. In my dream this did have a significance, it was a messed-up prounciation of the word "Imitating" and she really meant more along the lines of "Corrupting." Yes, confusing. But yeah, and she was yelling at the woman for having a top cut too low (but it really WASN'T - it was perfectly acceptable!) and said in disgust, "Look at that! Blood running everywhere!"
Yeah... wow...

Where the drama team does Evita
I dreamed that the drama team was performing Evita. I played Eva, and Bethany was playing Peron. Don't recall who was playing Che, but it WAS a guy. Huh... odd, that the one role that occasionally switches genders, didn't, but a role that doesn't usually, did.
So, anyway, I arrived at the church at 6:30 and one of the students came up to me, rather irate, and said, "You should have been here at 5:30." And I remembered that I WAS supposed to have been there at 5:30 to rehearse, but the show was starting right away.
We started off with "A New Argentina," except we were performing in the pews. Bethany was sitting in one pew and I was supposed to go over and sing the beginning of it (even though technically it would have been HER line). That was when I noticed that we were also having to sing over the voices of the people on the soundtrack - a karaoke version of Evita? Hmm...
