"I had an awesome dream last night that I went to visit a friend (who suddenly lived in a mansion) and it morphed into a full-on eighties-themed dance number, where I danced with my younger self. When the number finished with a flourish, I realized we were all part of a sketch on the Donny and Marie show. I really need to not eat nachos before bed. Everytime I have a weirdo dream like that, I wonder what the underlying subconscious messages are. Do you do that? I start analyzing myself (most probably in an erroneous way, since I&amp;#039;m not a psychiatrist) and I reach all sorts of conclusions. Why was my friend in a mansion? Who knows, but they deserve one. Why were we on Donnie and Marie? Well, I watched it a lot as a kid and used to daydream about being a guest star. The real thing that stood out for me in this was that I was dancing. With myself. My younger self. Y&amp;#039;know, the one who danced. And sang. And did a lot of theatre. And went to cast parties and laughed and danced with her friends till dawn and loved her life and lived her life and reveled in her life.  Peter didn&amp;#039;t dance. And that&amp;#039;s OK - not everyone does. But he also thought people who did dance were kind of silly. I learned not to dance so much after awhile. It was just easier that way. I think my subconscious is telling me that he&amp;#039;s gone now, and it&amp;#039;s time to let that old Ellie back out to dance, and maybe time to let this Ellie learn a bit from her. I can make my own life a variety show with exciting guest stars and lots of dancing and laughter. And if a sketch falls flat every now and again, well, the show will go on.  Maybe my subconscious wants me to know all that.  Or maybe I really need to lay off the late night snacks. Probably both. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
