Dream
In the dream I was greatly annoyed by what I perceived to be an injustice having to do with theatre, I think specifically Kingsmen. It was something like, I was told that if I designed costumes for a play, I would be able to participate, but not for my acting skill alone. This went around and around for what felt like hours, with me becoming increasingly angry towards Taylor and possibly Hadley?
I had been writing poetry and was preparing to share it as part of an open mic night. There were several couples there, one of whom had a baby, and another gay couple who had a Labradoodle. I was also jealous of the dynamic between these couples. Envy played a massive role in this dream, as well as a feeling of unappreciativeness.
Finally I got in the car and nearly sped off without Taylor just to show him how frustrated I was. We arrived at an outlet mall first, and then some kind of bar. I began to read my poetry, but it became a stand-up routine as I started making jokes about pets. All of my material was about pets because I told the audience it was a universal subject that they could all relate to. They didn’t all have kids, but they had all had a pet. To my surprise, the crowd responded very well to my act.
