Last night I dreamt I was onstage. I wasn’t on a normal stage, I was way up high.. on a catwalk.. on the edge of a building. It was a Harry Potter type of building / high school gymnasium. We were onstage doing some sort of improv thing because I remember thinking about what character I was going to use.. then telling myself not to think too far ahead.

I was second and when I began to speak the crowd began to disperse. I made some sort of joke about the situation.. and then we realized that someone had tripped off an alarm.

For whatever reason the fire escape turned into this catwalk type of structure and the only way to get down was to sideways-scoot along a pole to the other side. The fire escape closest to where I was had been blocked by decaying wood, so I had a tough time getting down. Another option to the scoot across was to do some sort of acrobatic motion to get around the blockage.

Then somehow I ended up in the future and I was safe on the ground. I must have fast-forwarded or something because then I became curious how I got down. I rewound to the top again and I discovered that I must have walked behind the catwalk. There was a dirt path that ended to a place where I could use the other fire escape.

After I woke up I realized how nonsensical the entire thing had been. There were some interesting moments though. The gymnasium probably has to do with my hs reunion coming up. The improv because I volunteered for a show.

*sigh* I’ll have to add some more adventure to my life. My dreams are including peril moments to remain active.
