Summer Storm

last night i had the strangest dream. i was in a play, and i was told that my part was the most important. they handed me the script right before i walked on stage. i opened it up, and it was blank. i panicked, and i sat on the spot marked on the stage that told me where to stand. nobody on stage noticed me. i looked out into the audience, and they were all people i knew, but all aged around 7 or 8. i looked back to the people on stage, and everyone was wearing themed costumes. but the thing was, none of the themes matched. there was a hippie one, an Egyptian one, an astronaut one, and lots of others. one character wearing a Shakespeare costume spoke, "and now, let us begin a summer storm" all of the cast put on bunny ears and noses and started to dance around a large fire like they were doing some kind of ritual. they were chanting and making Indian noises and becoming more and more ridiculous with their dancing. the stage caught on fire, but none of them seemed to care. i stood up and tried to tell them what was happening but they just got louder. i turned to the audience, shouting at them to leave, but they were all just sitting there smiling, enjoying the show. i ran back stage and pulled a rope. it turned off the stage lights, and turned on the house lights. the fire was gone, the stage was empty, and the audience had disappeared. i turned to leave but there was an elephant in the way. "excuse me" i said, "i need to go home" the elephant looked confused, so i asked "do you speak English?" then the elephant opened it's mouth, and there was a record player in it. i put the needle on the track, and it started playing "Susie Q" (which is my alarm) then i woke up. it was so weird.

  1. Heather, this is super bizzare! That's amazing that you even got to experience that even though it was through a dream!
