So that's what I dreamed...
I thought I dreamt myself into a fairy tale last night, but when I finally remembered my dream, it wasn't that at all.
Instead, it was about OUG&SS, and a made-up society at Berkeley that was somewhere between BareStage and a G&S society that did musicals too. Somehow I'd appeared in Oxford for a few days and I saw the G&S society when they were all gathered together for a picture day (don't ask, I have no clue), and the society had grown amazingly large. We were in a room with a bench that went all they way along three sides of the room, and we filled the whole bench. And there were lots of Freshers who didn't know me, but there were some old hacks as well, though I can't specifically remember who. I'm pretty sure![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pseudomonas was there, and !Paul, and maybe shreena. Jordan must have been, I mean, how could he not have been, but I'm not sure. They asked if I was doing any G&S, and I said not exactly, there was a group on campus that did some G&S but that right now they were doing a musical of Pirates of the Caribbean, and I had a role in that. As someone's father? Then I was confused about when rehearsals for PotC started, and I was worried that the performance was really soon and I hadn't been to any rehearsals because I hadn't known until just then that I was in it, but then there was a schedule, and it turned out that rehearsals were starting after we got back from winter break. This bears odd shades of resemblance to Willow's dream in "Restless," and I only just thought of that now. And I told them how there is a real G&S society in the city, and I'm thinking about trying to join that next year. (Unlike the previous made up society, this one actually does exist, and this is true.)
Andfilosophy101 was in the dream (in the dream he had his beard still), but I think this actually came just before the previous part of the dream, and he and I were going north on Euclid, except we were way, way, way north, and I think I was somehow still in Oxford. And he had to get to work, and I said that's OK, I have to meet some people up here anyway, and I think that's when I went in to the G&S gathering. I don't know if we were in a church with a shingled roof and a weathervane, or a pub with a blackboard outside that had things written in colored chalk. I think we were up by Kensington Circle on the way to El Cerrito. But we weren't, 'cause there was no circle, just a little cobbled street (theoretically Euclid?!) that led into this cluster of buildings. If the church was on your left, the pub was in front of you.
I know there was more; I definitely dreamt specifically about the not!BareStage society, too, but I remember it less well, just a jumble of images and the knowledge that we were singing G&S-like songs that weren't.
And I'm just realizing what a very strange dream that was.
