Well let's get some background information first. I used to go to a dance school, up to the age of 10, so it's been a while since I last went. Yesterday I decided I'm going clubbing for the first time, tomorrow. I was invited ages and have mulled it over for several weeks. I need to learn to grow up and go out with people; after all I have turned people down so many times lol. Anyway, I’m pretty sure this dream is linked to that.
So basically the dream started, as usual, mise-en-scène (in the middle of the action, I think that means…learnt from Hamlet). Somebody had asked me if I would perform in a Salsa competition as one of the girls had been taken ill. So I duly said yes. Now, it may be worth mentioning at this point that I have never, ever done salsa in my life…my dance school specialised in Ballet, Modern, Jazz and Tap. Anyway, I had nothing to wear so I grabbed the black dress I’m going to wear tomorrow [I need to fix the strap on that actually, so I will do that later] and I was led to a cupboard full of red heels.
They weren’t my size but I tightened the strap and just about made do. I knew I was short on time, so I ran to the stage area. Half way there, I realised I needed a name badge so had to run back to get one…all the while wearing shoes that were far too large for me.
Once I had my name tag, I raced back to the stage area but I wasn’t too sure of where I was meant to be headed. I had to go up a set of metal stairs which were just above a nightclub, and I could see people queuing. I knew some of them, yet they weren’t people I would normally socialise with. When I was up the stairs, it became like a maze with masses of wooden doors leading to different rooms. I thought I got trapped in one room but I managed to get out eventually.
When I finally got to the stage, I had to walk through a line of Flamenco Dancers. I went up another set of stairs and was told that it wasn’t just a dance competition. I needed to dance, sing and act! I can’t remember what happened after which sucks a bit but then I woke up.
Very odd…
