One night during my illness–stuffy head, equilibrium-hampering, sinus infection–I dreamt that I was attending either a concert or a movie in an outdoor arena. Just before the event began a giant screen flashed the words:
Please Stand For Our National Anthem
I immediately stood, and began urging those around me to stand, as well. Grudgingly they did. The strains of The Star Spangled Banner began and then abruptly stopped.
Sorry, technical difficulties!
Flashed across the screen. Then a voice from a loudspeaker boomed, “Will anyone lead in the singing of our national anthem?”
With no hesitation I began,
Oh, say can you see…
and to my delight people joined in and we all sang the entire song on key. It was a gloriously impossible rendition of our national anthem, especially considering that I knew immediately that I’d begun the song an octave too high. Dreams are wonderfully forgiving.
Once the song ended and we were congratulating one another on our performance a woman in the next section came to me and offered me a role in a traveling Disney performance. I agreed immediately, but then looked over at Studly who was clearly upset by the thought of me leaving, and subsequently declined the offer.
When I awakened I realized my throat was scratchy. That’s what happens when one sings The Star Spangled Banner an octave too high.
Peace, people!

I love dreams like that! Too funny.

You know for much of my life I wasn’t the star of my own dreams. I was in them, but the good stuff never happened to me. It’s just been the last 12 years or so that I have dreams where I really come out on top.

I think when you’re ill neurons go totally berserk at night, and eventful dreams make the sunset to dawn hours even more exhausting: but you seem pretty organized in your ill-dream!

I have odd dreams. Vivid, but odd.
