Where I'm trapped in a sunken ship with Bilbo and House
I dreamed I was trapped in a sunken ship with a large group of fictional characters which included House from the TV show House and Bilbo from Lord of the Rings. At one point, Bilbo, some random obnoxious sailors, and I were all in the basement of the ship, which looked suspiciously like the basement of the church I went to with the Ls in New York. Bilbo found a small pink container and asked the sailors to pick it up for him. They gave him a look and said, "Why should we, eh?" (I'm not sure WHAT nationality they were, they had a bit of an Australian accent but at other times they were clearly British.)
Bilbo picked up the container then, and popped the lid off, and at that point I could see a tiny baby octopus squirming around in there. Then Bilbo whispered to me, "We'll creep up to the ceiling and DROP IT ON THEM! Then we'll see if they'll get it for me or not!" So he threw the container up toward the ceiling, and millions of spiders came out and crawled over and fell on the sailors' heads, at which point I made myself wake up because I didn't want to be part of a spider dream.

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.
