I dreamed this morning that I was playing the character Roger in Rent on Broadway. Of course I didn’t know the lines so I was improvising. I guess this is a step up from the dreams I’ve had in the past. During college I dreamed I was on stage in a college play (without knowing any lines). In high school I dreamed I was on stage in a high school play (without knowing any lines). It’s only appropriate that I’m on Broadway now.
The dream started out on stage, with a recording of Leonard Bernstein‘s Mass playing in the background. Eventually people entered the stage and we started Rent.
Of course, this is all tied to real life. Our rent payment for the apartment is due today. Unlike the musical, I can afford it and we’re not in danger of being evicted.
Hm. Another tie-in: Today is World AIDS Day and Rent happens to be a musical that deals with AIDS.
