The Dreams of Hannah

I had this really, really, LONG dream that I'm going to try to remember, but it was all in bits and pieces.

There was a piece where Jayme and Dianna and I were assigning parts for the Christmas play. Leonie was back, and she and Travis ended up getting the leads. The drama team was all sitting around in my living room discussing the play and I accidentally mentioned that Leo and Travis were going to be the leads, but no one seemed to notice I told them before they were supposed to know.

Then Hannah A and Kayla walk in, and Hannah's holding a book and a movie, apparently the book and movie versions of the play we're going to do, titled "Flight To Journey" or something equally ridiculous. Jayme goes, "Ohhhhh, Hannah's done her research!" and proudly points to the movie, which we all then go into a huge theater to watch.

A bunch of other stuff happens in the middle but I can't remember exactly what. I do remember being in the theater watching the movie (which starred Gregory Peck) and seeing a guy walk down the stairs to a seat. The guy was a friend of someone's, only he couldn't walk very well - I think he was slightly mentally challenged or whatever they call it - and all of a sudden he fell down the stairs and landed RIGHT on his nose.

We all jumped up to see if he was okay, and he stands up and we discover he fell down and his face somehow got jammed into a cushion that was sitting on the stairs and now it was stuck to his face. We all tried to get it off but he kept screaming, "I think I broke my eyelid!" In all the confusion, a duck that was apparently Kayla's pet waddled over to me and sat there staring me in the face, except then it turned into a raccoon and tried to bite my finger.

There was also a part where Tim and Angela and I were filming a movie - I was the director and Tim and Angela were the stars, and it was an action movie set on a mountain. Some random guy in a leather jacket came up to Tim and said, "You are a cool party horse," and Tim punched him.

That's all I can remember.

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.

I remember being in the back yard, except it was overgrown with... um... ferns? And drama team people were there and... yeah, don't remember much about that part.

Then we were in the drama room, except Dianna kept leaving because she was trying to get some Chinese food for her invalid father. We had a Chinese food vending machine (?!?) in the room with the pop machine, but it was all out of bottles of soy sauce. So Dianna came back and asked if Jayme knew where any were, but none of us knew.

There was also a part where Chloe and Hannah were practicing a skit for drama that apparently Jayme had written, but it wasn't very good... it involved a ring, I remember that... and it was performed with Chloe and Hannah sitting on a bench.

I dreamed we went to visit Libby and Stephen. Hannah A. was with us as well. And EVERYONE was a phan. Libby's mom brought out this paper that said "MUSICAL THEATER" at the top and then had in big letters, "Who shot Abraham Lincoln?" so I said, "Er... John Wilkes Booth?" and she said, "Wrong! Firmin!" and brought out this Phantom of the Opera figurine that was Firmin and someone who looked like Christine so I said, "Oh, Firmin and Christine!" and Hannah said, "Actually, it's Firmin and Mme. Giry."

And then I thought about it and said, "Wait! The paper says 'MUSICAL THEATER' at the top, so... shouldn't any answer found in musical theater apply? And John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in Assassins!" She conceded I was right and then gave me the figurine.

Then it turned out Hannah was going to Rockford to see the POTO movie. I asked if she would take me with her, but she said, "Well, actually, I was hoping to spend some quality time with my mom on the trip up there." I was way ticked 'cause everyone was getting to see it but me.

I had this really, really long rambling dream. I'm going to try to recount as much of it as I can. I was in the living room when I look out the window and the church van is pulling into our driveway. It's full of teens. (Well, not full, on later count there were only like 7 people.)

So I go outside and they open the door and tell me that they're going to some coffee place to hang out. So I say, "Okay, hold on, let me go check with my mother." So I go inside but can't find Mom anywhere, and when I turn around, everybody has followed me inside.

Now I can see who's there - it's Amanda, Angela, Canaan, Hannah A., and Katie. Except Angela and Hannah A. are all dressed up in these fancy gowns with LOTS and LOTS of makeup on. I don't see Katie and Manda at that point, but I assume they're dressed up too. "I'll be back in a moment," I say. "I'm going to go change."

They whip out a pair of shorts and hand them to me. "Don't bother," they say. "Just wear these." So I put them on and say, "This is as dressed up as I get." Then I notice Manda's just in shorts and a T-shirt, too, so I don't feel so stupid anymore.

We decide to go upstairs and hang out at the top of my stairs and make prank phone calls to people. (Uh, yeah, this is definitely a youth group appropriate activity...)

So we were doing that upstairs and having lots of fun when suddenly Manda stands up and says, "A few days ago Tyler shot a globe and killed himself." (Okay, note on this - the globe obviously was in my head because I had been listening to the Princess In Pink audiobook, where somebody tries to drop a globe on their head to kill themselves.)

Nobody seems very surprised or even dismayed at this news, they all just nod and then we go back to our prank phone calls.

Later, I'm cleaning out my basement and decide to go out with the youth group again. Mom asks me what I'm doing and I say, "I'm feeling very social today. This may never, ever happen again." So she says okay. So instead of calling people up and inviting them out to do something, I go upstairs and turn on my radio, because I know that I'll hear our prank calls on there. (Hardly hanging out with the youth group, but ah well.) But the radio's playing a prank call that's like horribly obscene (really it wasn't, it was a conversation about Tweety, it just struck me as being obscene) and I sit there thinking, "We didn't do that... did we?"

There was also something where Amanda tells me as we go out to the van (apparently we decided to go somewhere after all) something about her mom being mad at someone or someone being mad at her mom... I wasn't quite sure.
