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 that I was meeting up with Jamie and Cathy from The Last 5 Years, but somehow there was time travel involved, where I had to go back in time with them and keep them from meeting, because if they met they'd get in a car accident. Going back in time, though, I also ran into Mom, who was clearly in college and didn't recognize me. (No, I did not watch Back to the Future last night.)

Car accidents seemed to be the theme here. At another point in the dream, Dad was driving me somewhere, and then he slowly turned around and began driving back the opposite direction, but he was in the wrong lane, so he was heading straight toward a bunch of cars. I screamed at him for a bit, then grabbed him around the neck and somehow moved him so that he was going back in the right direction. He got really mad at me and started yelling about how I couldn't take a joke.

There was also a portion where I got a CleanFilms version of some movie with John Cusack in it, but they kept not editing out really disgusting gory parts (nearly all about car accidents). At one point, someone got stabbed in the middle of the forehead with a pen, which was gross, but at another point there were three people whose heads had all been cut off and were now roasting in a pan. I kept going, "I can't believe they left this part in! I don't want to see it! Ew! Gross!"

I dreamed there was a very large, very creepy windstorm outside. Both Mom and Dad had been killed. For a short time Norbert was in our house, but then he was killed, too. As I was washing dishes, I noticed his cell phone sitting on the kitchen counter. I opened it up and really it worked like an Ipod. It had four songs on it, three of which were dark, scary, chanting music. The fourth was "Shiksa Goddess". I was really relieved that I had something cheery to listen to if I needed it.

A bit later Caitlin, Annie, and Laura all showed up. Caitlin and Annie showed up at my house to surprise me on their way home from Mexico, and Laura was just sitting at my computer playing Petz 3.

Suddenly I discovered I'd deleted "Shiksa Goddess", and this fact distressed me more than all the deaths.
