Riddle me this..

Ever have a crazy ass dream and just KNOW it has to mean something?

Back with the boyf. On a trial. Went over to his place last night after some drunken funness at Jamie’s. This was the resulting dream:

I’m in a musical. I’m Batman. I think it’s a Batman musical. Regardless, I’m an important character.. so important, in fact, that I don’t think I have to look at my lines. This is the night of the musical and i’ve never even looked at the script. So, as the musical goes on, I guess my part isn’t for a while.. suddenly my boyfriend looks at me and says, “Isn’t your part coming up soon?” I freeze. I realize that if I don’t even know when my part is coming, how the hell am I supposed to know my lines?


I’m scrambling, trying to get the script without letting anyone know I’ve never read it. I’m running around backstage trying to get a script so fuck it, I’ll just read it as I go and no one will know. I’m getting more frantic and start to ask for help, two crew girls start running around with me to find a copy of the script. The cue music comes on for Batman to come on stage. I’m not ready. We find the master script, but I can’t take that, so they start to photocopy it for me. Great. But now I can’t find my costume, which is this big bulky thing. I keep picking up other people’s costumes, assorted Ninja Turtle shells and such. The cue music has been playing for 8 minutes at this point and the director is making up a “Where is Batman” song to fill time. I find my costume and put it on just as the girls hand me the script. I realize I put my costume on backwards, put the script somewhere and put the suit on right. I’ve lost the script. I can’t find my mask. I take the bulky suit off to find it. Oh, there’s my mask. Where is my suit? I can’t see with the mask on so I take it off, there’s the script.

This goes on through the whole dream.. every time I have one, I can never find the other. I’ll have two and I’ll have lost one. Never the suit, mask and script together. It was so weird.. I don’t remember at what point I woke up, but I was sweating pretty bad. I woke up Blake to tell him, which is probably why I still remember it so vividly..

Also, adding to the urgency, I had to pee. But I think that had more to do with real life than the dream..
