Ugh dreams

Nov 05, 2007 08:37

I must be having inadequacy thoughts tucked into my subconscious as I had 2 inadequacy dreams last night... a school dream which I vaguely remember and a performing arts dream. I think this is my standard dream for when I stress out this way, but it's the first time I remember the plays involved. One was a staging of peter pan at JCC starring katie as tinkerbell and me as the person who keep interrupting the show, leaving at intermission and returning unable to find my seat and ending up backstage...there I find myself pulled in as an understudy as character in a Midsummer Night's Dream-like play. Does that count as irony? I had to skim the play and find my parts while the play was in progress, then find some way to be able to read the lines on stage without looking like i didn't know what the hell I was doing and without actually looking like i was reading straight from the script.

When I woke up, my internal monologue was in iambic pentameter. A shakespearean quote on a blog I read prompted the memory of the dream to resurface.

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much."

I know you know which play it's from, and if you've read it 8 times like me, you know who said it and under what circumstances. That shit should be on the GRE, you know?
