I don't usually remember my dreams--maybe only once every few weeks. (Alan, however, remembers his dreams almost daily, and he'll have like two or three every night!)
At least once a month I have some sort of "audition dream," which usually means one of two things: (1) I dream that I am an adult auditioning for The Nutcracker, when suddenly I realize that I am super out of shape and haven't even been dancing for over a decade or I'll realize that I have kids and wonder who will babysit them during all my performances (I used to dance in a local performance of The Nutcracker when I was in elementary school); or (2), I dream that I am about to be a senior in high school auditioning for the high school dance company after having taken a year off from it, and I'm totally scared that I won't make it back in again. (By the way, that never happened. I was in my high school dance company as a sophomore, but for several reasons I decided not to try out again. I chose to try out for choir instead, which was one of the best decisions I made in high school.) It's so weird that these to dreams are recurring--I wonder if I have some sort of insecurity about my dancing days???
Anyway, last night I had a dream I was auditioning for my high school drill team, something that I did in real life only once (at the end of my ninth grade year--I didn't even make the first cut! Ha ha!). Anyway, it was so real--I was dancing all night long and can still remember the sequence right now.
I think it's funny that all of my "audition dreams" have to do with dancing and not singing. I have done so many auditions for high school and college choirs, not to mention high school musicals and choir competitions. It's weird, but it's been giving me something to think about all morning.

I always have a reoccurring dream too! I actually blogged about it once, a while ago, so you can go read about it there. But basically I dream that I'm in high school or jr high and I'm trying to find my class and I've lost my schedule so I don't know where my class is. It's not a weird dream itself, just weird that I've had it like four times. And not in the same school too!
I'm like Alan, I dream almost every night and can usually remember them (especially in pregnancy). I have a recurring dream, too. It happens once or twice a year (though it hasn't happened in quite a while, now that I think of it), but it's about a math class (high school or college) where I realize that it's almost over and I haven't done a single homework assignment the entire semester. Ha! So weird.
