I had a dream, not necessarily a nightmare, but just not a particularly happy dream...
i can't remember some of it, as it was expanded over many periods of REM, i suppose, but, here goes:
(as an afterthought, first I must explain, I'm involved in a musical theater group that does a whole lot of ilbert and Sullivan operettas.)
I was cast as Mabel, the leading female role in the play "Pirates of Penzance". I was very very nervous backstage, and I forgot ALL of my lines. (can't you see where this is going?) well, i go onstage, and it all goes well until some dialogue (i'm extremely sure that this dialogue wasn't even in the play of Pirates of Penzance...but it was a dream...it gets weird, just wait a minute) came up. i ad-libed the whole thing, and i cursed the entire play. Dave (a co-director at our musical theater program) was the only one who noticed that I did these things wrong. Here comes the weird part. I go down to get congratulated by my family, and my dad is...let's just say "commiting adultery". My mom's not there. (I had never seen the woman in the dream who was "helping" my father "commit adultery".) So i go over some water (somehow our theater is now floating...?)to a little room. I have no idea how, but I knew this was where my mom was, and I went there. This is not an ordinary room. No...it has thongs lining the walls...leather ones, chained ones...all thongs...and my mom is in there. She's reading a book. (why didn't i write the book's title DOWN?? GRR!) I go over to her (nonchalantly, weirdly enough) and tell her that my father is two-timing her. I forget most of our conversation, but she didn't even care...
And then I wake up.
I know this would not exactly be an easy thing to analyze, but...any insights?
Thanks!
Jamie
