Dream Report
Jun. 4th, 2015 07:18 am"The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was."
Following the events of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a maidservant cleans up. Some young men (Oxbridge versions of the rude mechanicals?) have been on a boating trip (there were a lot of shallow canals) -- there are flowers to clean up from that, too. She walks ahead of them, or they follow her, as chains of flowers leap to greet her. Awed, some of the young men propose marriage. The maid just shakes her head and laughs as she walks on, parade of flowers falling in the night.
It all made some kind of sense at the time. It was part of a performance of a series of three plays -- A Midsummer Night's Dream and two others that I can't recall but which, in the dream, were well-known. Sometimes I played the maidservant -- there was no script but I had no dialogue anyway.
handful_ofdust and
sovay were in the audience, along with other IRL friends. Sometimes Andrew wanted to go home early and it never happened and I was upset with him for leaving and with myself for going along with his desire to leave. Sometimes it was a totally different story, students being culled from a classroom as part of some creepy eugenics program.
