The Dreams of Hannah

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 had a dream about Bilbo, except he was a tiny frog. A group of people was (were?) trying to transport him to another time and place, so they placed him in the claws of this brown-and-white bird called a snowfall. The snowfall would fly WAY up in the sky, like above the atmosphere, and that was supposed to transport him. They kept telling him, "This may kill the snowfall, but it shouldn't have any lasting effects on you."

So the snowfall starts... I guess the only way to describe it was PLUMMETING up. As it plummeted, Bilbo started aging. Like really fast. He grew this long white beard. And the bird just kept going, and eventually it suddenly... stopped. And died. Right there in the air. Somebody said, "Let me go. No openings for him to slip through into the other dimension?" and they were like, "Yup, not enough pigeons." ?!?

Then he turned into my brother Seth and I was holding him as I stood on the shore of a beach. There were these giant goldfish floating around in these pools, and each of these goldfish was transparent with several other smaller fish inside them. I remember reaching my hand into the giant goldfish's mouth and pulling out the smaller fish and showing them to Seth/Bilbo, but then the little goldfish would get sick without water and I'd stick them back in the giant goldfish's mouth.

Then some little kid on the beach started screaming and running away from Seth/Bilbo and me. I looked down at Seth/Bilbo and was like, "What did you do?" and he was busy examining one of his legs. If he turned it one way it turned all green and scaly like a frog and the other way, it looked like a normal 3-year-old boy's leg. "Look at this! This is so cool!" he kept saying. I kept telling him to cut it out, that was really stupid, obviously just something left over from his transformation to a human.

At that point, he got this summons to go through this door and meet with these famous businessmen. When we went through though (yeah, I went with him) a man in a dark blue robe and crown stood and said solemnly, "I am the son of King Anderson. I am the new King Anderson." And that's when I woke up.
