Where I guard Anthony Rapp's CDs
I dreamed there was a huge music festival in our house. Anthony Rapp was there, wearing a blue shirt, and I got to meet him. In fact, more than that - he asked me if I could guard his CD table while he went to go check on something. I said, sure, no problem. His CD table turned out to be in the little floor-level cupboard we keep our bowls and plates in. He put a stool and a bag of food inside the cupboard so I would be comfortable (although there's no way I could be really comfortable in there, considering I couldn't sit up all the way) and then went off to check out whatever he was checking on.
However, he never came back. I stayed there for like three days, and then eventually tried to find a program to see when the guy would be playing, so I could try and find him. The only schedule I found said that he was playing "windout," which meant he was the very last act on the very last day. I couldn't find anywhere listed on the schedule what day WAS the very last day, and wasn't sure what day today was, so eventually I just left the cupboard and wandered around.
I bought a few CDs, including a CD of Superchic[k] singing VeggieTales songs. Apparently most of these had been available on their website and now they were sticking them all on a CD.
I also watched a film clip where Idina Menzel and Mahalia Jackson were both up for a Dove Award for Best Song Written About Pennies. Idina's song "Penny" was nominated, as well as Mahalia's song apparently titled "Crawling For Pennies" or maybe "Carried By Pennies." Sandi Patty was presenting the award. The way the setup worked, Idina and Mahalia each had their own little podium with a mic, kind of like at a debate.
Sandi was obviously going to give Mahalia the Dove, but when she tried to pick up the mic from Mahalia to announce it, Mahalia wouldn't let her have it, so Sandi borrowed Idina's mic. Sandi was so grateful that Idina was so generous to her, that she decided to introduce her to the audience. "This is Idina," she said, and at that point dozens of reporters came swarming out asking Idina what it felt like to win the Dove Award.
Apparently this created a lot of controversy as to who REALLY won that award, Idina or Mahalia.

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."

Where Phil Vischer and the sheep are possessed
I had this very long disturbing dream where our family was traveling and on our way we stopped at a hotel. Phil Vischer (uh, yeah, as in the voice of Bob the Tomato and founder of Big Idea) owned the hotel and he turned out to be a very nice guy and tried to make us feel at home. However, halfway through our stay, he started acting weird, and turned out, he was, like... a demon or possessed or something. *shudder* Rather freaky. And like all throughout the dream I kept trying to remind myself that HELLO! God is like 80,000 more powerful than any demon can ever be, but it still freaked me out.
Course later it freaked me out even more because there was this spider crawling around. However, my dad played a tape at it that said "I know who ewe are" and it kept spelling out "E-W-E! E-W-E!" And then the spider turned into a possessed sheep. (Gar.)
