Dream About Acting Camp Cats And Movie Magic

I’m away at an acting summer camp for adults/professionals. Loretta Divine, Jeffrey Wright and others are in my “class.” We have to wrap up early, clear out the shared house, and get everyone to the train station for their individual departures. My classmates expressed their regret for not getting a picture together, but people left cards behind with their notes for everyone, including acting notes on each other’s work. I was desperate to find mine, especially from Loretta. My cousin Rex came to visit me and brought two cats with him—an adult white female and a juvenile grey female with serious spice issues—they hiss at each other and at least one of them is wobbly. They are kept in a black duffle bag, but when they escape, I find ways to capture them and get them to not hate each other. Eventually, they get along and I’m able to get them back in their travel bag, but my cousin is gone. I can’t find him, so I have to keep the cats with me. There is a demonstration in the little downtown area of our acting camp where people sit at outdoor, iron tables and watch a film set show. I join my parents there and we briefly discuss which movies this set was used for before the demonstration begins. The set is made of tan, stone-like, brick buildings and cobblestone streets. Gargoyles and human statues line the faces of several buildings. Action is called. Slowly, the stone figures morph into human extras and stunt people and everyone is in awe of the transformation. I remark that this would frighten me otherwise, but it’s good to see the movie magic in action. Eventually, I get back to packing up the shared actors’ house. There are only two or three of us left to clean and we fill multiple dumpsters with foodstuffs. We think most of it should go to charity and not be wasted, but we have no means to transport everything. There is also some kind of time restraint—everyone needs to leave as soon as possible. I felt disappointed to not be able to enjoy the rest of camp, but I was happy to be there. I felt like I belonged.
