Location: New York, New York, United States

I moved to NYC to become a famous actress, and now I'm working the library. Life's funny that way. I like to bake, and I often stick my foot in my mouth, but I try not to do it at the same time.

I had a dream...

So I know that no one actually wants to hear about someone else's dream, but if there ever was a proper forum for such a story, a blog is it. If you don't want to hear, stop reading.
Some people say they don't remember their dreams. I almost always do. 75% of my dreams can be put into one of two categories: anxiety dreams (usually take the form of theatre dreams, but there are some variations) and life & death or saving the world dreams (I have some sort of hero complex). The other 25% is everything else.
Last night I dreamed that I went on a vacation to Oregon to visit the country's oldest children's library (it was no longer circulating). I won't bore you with the details, but it was a lengthy, detailed dream wherein I looked at everything in the library/museum, and I had words with the curator who didn't want to take the time to answer my questions about preservation.
This is my first "library" dream, and I don't know whether to take it as a confirmation of my chosen profession, or an indication of an unhealthy obsession. I also don't know where the Oregon part came from. It doesn't make sense, I've never been there before, or ever thought to visit.

It is your destiny. Don't question the cosmos.

Lili, so good to hear from you! My "anxiety dreams" do take place in other places than the theatre, but that's the norm. I'll dream that I've gone to see a play, and then they pluck me out of the audience to replace somebody, and don't listen when I tell them that I don't know the lines.

Improv terrifies me! One of the best things about acting is that somebody else tells me what to say.
