The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed I showed up at acting class to discover I was in next week's big production. Not only that, it was a musical. My instructor gave me the helpful advice, "Just think of a song, and then you sing it." Unfortunately, every song I could think of, someone else was already singing it. (We practiced by all singing our songs at once, to each other.) Finally I settled on "I Can Do Better Than That."

In another part of the dream, Elizabeth Taylor threw Mom a birthday party.

I dreamed I was at the RinkUnion. For some reason, Christy was there with me, as was Chris from choir. We had this big old mansion we were renting, and the only thing we did there all day was play hide and seek. So we hid in closets, under beds... somehow South Park was connected to all this, but that's kind of hazy.

Eventually it turned out that was all a movie, and we weren't really playing hide and seek at the RinkUnion at all, but now it was time to go home. We were all standing outside the airport, and Christy and daniel78 and I were about ready to get on the same plane to go home. Sam came up to me and said, "I don't know if you and Daniel are together or anything, but I think you would make a really charming couple." Which kind of weirded me out. And then Daniel and I didn't even end up flying home on the same plane after all.

There's also a moment somewhere in here where Caitlin's home from New Zealand, and my stalker from last semester and I are taking her out to dinner. The only way to the restaurant is down this incredibly steep rocky path, but my stalker tells us it's faster to walk directly ON the rocks and not on the path. I discover this is true, because the rocks are covered with "heather" and I discover I can skate down the heather and get to the bottom faster.

Next thing I know, I'm going to the Sauk play again. I buy two student tickets, planning to take my sister, but somehow she gets left behind when I leave the house, so now I've got an extra ticket. Christy's wandering around there, so I try to take her with me. Rina from kids' lit is running the tickets, but she's doing a really sloppy job with the whole thing. Christy and I go in, sit down, and halfway through the play I have to leave, so I get up and leave.

The next night I feel bad that I didn't get to see the whole thing, so I go back and buy two MORE student tickets (only now they're red because they're a different price). I actually end up cheating Rina as she's sorting her money and tell her that I've already given her my money, when really I haven't given her anything at all. So she gives me the tickets, and I realize I was going to ask Staci from drama to come to the play with me, but I forgot her at home, too. She's wandering around and I try to get her to come see it, but she's already got her own tickets with her own friends.

As I get ready to go inside the theater, Jason is standing outside the theater giving a lecture to those going in - almost like a tour guide thing, actually - about a man named Gavin Gmail (yeah, like the email service) who had to use his cell phone in the middle of the play. "His grandmother was dying," Jason says. "Of course, that gives him no excuse, but still, it was nice of him to tell me." Then he ushers us on in, but once again I have to leave in the middle of the show, with a very sad realization that I will probably never see the end again.

I dreamed Jason H from the college called me up and wanted me to be in the Sauk play. I told him okay, but I couldn't come to any of the rehearsals, which he said was fine. When I got to the actual play, I realized I didn't remember any of my lines, except for my very first one, which began with "Not for now." So when the line right before mine was said, I charged down the aisle of the theater (having JUST finished changing into my costume in the bathroom) and yelled, "Not for now!" but I forgot the rest of my line so I had to sit up on the stage doing nothing. Only then did I remember that Jason had changed my part halfway through the semester so I was now supposed to be playing a nanny, but I was playing the other part.

After a few more moments of stumbling through lines, Jason got up on stage and said, "That's it, that's it, everyone just go home." He sent out an angry memo the next day talking about "certain people who say, 'yeah, I can do it,' but then don't actually put any effort into it at all."

I dreamed that I came home from an acting class and told Mom and Dad that Jason just screamed at me the whole time. Mom went ahead and wrote him a VERY angry, irate email. And then I suddenly remembered I'd made the whole thing up. Oops. :-/

I had this long weird dream that I don't remember much of. I do remember going to my theater class and my instructor was like... going psycho. There were these vending machines where the money went to feed orphan children or something and he was breaking them open and taking the pop and soda. So I tried to hide the money so he wouldn't get that too, but he saw me and went, "Oh! Great idea! Take the money too!" and he grabbed it and ran off with it. I remember running up and down the college's stairwells trying to find my dad so I could tell him what was going on.

I dreamed I went to my Performance of Literature class and found out I had to perform something that DAY. My instructor had told us it needed to be a poem at least 30 lines long (he told us that IRL too). So I'm desperately flipping thru my Lit book trying to find a 30-line poem I can memorize in like five minutes. I find some songs from Aida in there (the Disneyfied version, not the opera... that's HARDLY literature) and decide to perform "I Know the Truth." But one of the girls behind me said she was going to do that. Then she was like, "Well, actually, a medley of that and How I Know You." Then the lights went down and we sat down to watch the show and I was still frantically flipping through my book to find stuff. My instructor started getting ticked at the girl who performed the Aida medley and was grumbling, "I shoulda just had all these people perform 'The Bridge'!" which was a poem by... erm, I believe Mozart. Hmm.

I dreamed I showed up for my drama class and my instructor was in tears. So we were all confused and trying to find out what was going on and he finally said that he was really from Hungary, and right now there was a terrible war going on in Hungary. Apparently he was the prince of Hungary's older brother and was all worried that his brother might be dead.
