Stage fright in dreamland!

OK dreamtime now. Last night in a dream I get cast in a major role in a high school stage production. Except its like this enormous production, with gimbels and moving light rigs and musical numbers and stuff. At first I'm all flattered, like WOW, I am an actor! But as time drags on I kinda lose interest and I never really study. Oh yeah and I am my current age as well, not high school age. So its like the day before premiere and I feel guilty as I've never told the director she should replace me cos I really don't know my lines or anything. So I start cramming but I can't remember anything at all. She tells me "not to worry about it," and I kinda go crazy, like "what do you mean?" And she says, well, "Its just a high school play." She doesn't seem to care that obviously, hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested in this, and I stand an almost guaranteed chance of wrecking the thing. Again, she says, "nobody cares, its just high school." And I'm like, yeah, "but its not about the high school or even the play, its about ME, looking like an ASSHOLE on stage in front of thousands of people." She says "hey, just fake it, say the main idea." After reading the pages I have again, desperately trying to figure out what the main idea is, I realize all my scenes have been read in reverse order! Then I realize that I don't even know the plot! So the "main idea" is completely lost on me! I don't think I ever actually made it to the stage, but I was on dangerous ground there for a while ... Especially considering that apparently without ME, there was nobody. So the play may not have gone down at all. Great. I betrayed all my dreamime classmates. Oh well. Bloody primadonnas. Where was my understudy anyway???
