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.

With the weird Blue's Clues show
I had another long rambling dream, something about a potluck dinner at the church, and Uncle Keith and Aunt Vi were there in this red minivan (why do I keep dreaming about minivans?!) and at one point they got angry because someone moved their van around.
Then we were sitting in the church building, and Pastor Dalmus was doing his sermon. I was sitting in the front pew, with a bunch of sweaters and purses and stuff next to me. He looked at me and said, "Actually, I'm going to have to ask you to move," so I move to another seat and he sits this GIANT box down on the pew which turns out to be a projector of some kind, and he starts projecting things on the wall as visual aids for his sermon or something. Except they're mostly gratuitous and unrelated. Like one is a picture of Junior Asparagus.
Another one is a clip from Blue's Clues, where Steve gets a gift from Blue. He says, "I really enjoy getting gifts. Do you enjoy giving love gifts? Do you enjoy giving love gifts to people you don't really like? Do you have to do that?" And the kids reply, "I don't know!" And he goes, "Well, think of it this way. If there's a circus in town, and you're going to give money to everyone in the circus, and you don't LIKE one person in the circus, well, you don't have to worry about it, because it all gets evened out."
