I found myself in a desert called Cyberland. It was hot. My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty...

Wrong movie, Elphie....
But srsly, I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed I was back in school. It was a class that combined my playwriting courses from PSU with my acting/voice classes from UWGB. And it was primarily my acting/voice classmates from UWGB, as well as my actiing prof L from UWGB. There were other people in the class, but now I don't remember who they were. Anyway, we were doing a "show and tell" type day. I had a play I'd written that needed to have a reading for the class, but it was handwritten and I hadn't had a chance to get anyone to do practice readings or this "final" reading, so I explained this to L and said that I'd just wing it as a monologue for the reading. She said this was fine, so that's what I did. I got a lot of kudos in the class for the complexity of the piece. It was about a man in his 30s who was caring for an elderly father with senility/health issues, and how the man was plotting with another man [a black man, this was important in the dream] to kill his father so he could get out from under the heavy, burdensome yoke of caring for his father. It was really fascinating in the dream, trust me. Anyway, as we finished the reading, the space we were in morphed from the acting/voice room at UWGB to what could be described as either a small studio-type apartment or a hotel room. Turns out this room was where L lived, and it was quite messy, to say the least. We were further discussing what I'd written and how I'd morphed it for the reading [by this time, the bulk of the students disappeared]. The thing I remember most from this part of the dream was that she'd said just how complex the piece I'd written had been and that I'd always had a penchant for using language in ways no one else has. Not long after that, I woke up thanks, Gabe!...
It really was an interesting dream. And seems oddly appropriate right now, as I'm having some struggles with my writing. I think I need to make some changes, I'm just not sure exactly what they are yet, or how to implement them... But I think one big push I got out of this dream is that I really need to work on more original stuff.... |
