Terrible Dream

Sooooo last night, I had my first dream about the Christmas cantata.  Honestly, it seemed like I dreamed about it all night long...I'm not sure how dream sequences go...but SERIOUSLY - it felt like it was all night.

First of all the setting:
There was a huge wooden floor - similar to the layout of Fireside Dinner Theater, if you've ever been there.  

There were round tables set up (kind of like a wedding reception) surrounding the stage.  The tables were covered with white sparkly tablecloths and the centerpieces were red and green.

The stage had a huge red curtain.

In the beginning of my dream, I noticed that I was wearing a red Christmas dress.  When I say "red Christmas dress" - I mean that I was wearing a dress similar to Rosemary Clooney at the end of White Christmas.  Pretty, yes, it was.  Not following the "Dress like a Christmas caroler"  instructions of my fearless Choir Director.  (Sigh.)

I was un-nerved about the dress especially when I looked on stage and noticed my fellow actors/actresses wearing Caroler-ish clothing.  It's at this point that I noticed Lauren was wearing a cute outfit and not her SPECIAL outfit so I said to myself outloud (because apparently, even in my dreams, I talk to myself outloud), "Angie Good - this is a dream.  Lauren looks normal.  I wonder where she got that fun Christmas outfit!"  

Another sigh, you know - for good measure.

The dream continued. 

I, then, had to work through a maze to get to the stage and I kept getting lost and confused.

The dream - at this point - turned into a nightmare.

I spent the rest of the time wandering around.  I ran into all kinds of characters...

Right before waking-up, I found my spot on stage and then I realized I had forgotten all my lines.  ALL my lines!!!

The thing is - I'm not stressed out about the program.  I know that it's going to go well.  The Lord is going to help us.  Apparently subconsciously, I need to process my worst fears.  (Sigh.)  I just wish it wouldn't happen in my dreams.  I prefer visions of sugarplums and warm & cozy Christmas dreams.
