Oh!

Crane by foundimagination
Talking about dreams yesterday, reminded me of the last, super intense dream I had.

Now, this one wasn't sending me a message (dear Lord, I hope!) but it was one of those dreams where you wake up from it and you're pretty darn sure it was real.

Like, the whole dream is *that* life like.

Uh, so...yeah.

Um.

I was a presenter at a porn convention.




I'll just let that sink in.


I. Was a presenter. At a porn convention.

Now, I've never been to one of those Comic-Con convention type things, but I've seen articles and pictures and I have a general idea that there's a stage in a conference room and chairs for the audience and that the "stars" come on stage and answer questions.

So, yeah. There I was, speaking to a room full of eager (male, go figure) audience members, introducing the people they were about to meet and when my intro speech was done, I went to the side of the stage.

And my jaw dropped as these scantily clad (much older) women came out and started doing some raunchy strip dance pole dance type sort of do-we-really-need-to-see-that!? kind of stuff and I was totally embarrassed and didn't know where to look or what to do.

Apparently whoever had booked me for the M.C. position had failed to tell me I was presenting at a porn (or I suppose "adult entertainment"?) show and, well, if that wasn't just the most awkward thing. Me in my prim, proper "office suit skirt and jacket" attire and them in their thongs, heels and bras.

I seem to remember I was pretty professional about getting myself the heck off stage and out of there. But still. Weird, random dream, eh?

So there you go. There's the other dream I forgot to tell you about!

My dreams NEVER make any sense at all - and I usually forget them. I keep vowing to put a notebook next to the bed, but never do it.

A porn convention sounds about as mad as my average dream :)

Usually I forget mine too, but these two stuck with me!

Hmm. I have a dream about porn conventions too. It's different from yours, though.

Lalalala I'm not listening!
