Over the weekend, I had a weird mash-up dream where we were at Disney World and then at Dragon Con but neither place was the ACTUAL place. (Most of my Dragon Con dreams take place in places that are not the Dragon Con hotels. But in my head it’s Dragon Con. It’s often strange hotels/convention centers/mall mash-ups I’ve never been to.)
It started out with going through some kind of security check with our baggage to get into the convention, and I transferred all my stuff to one bag (actually it was a guitar case… but a really big one) so it would be easier to get through. Then it turned out an acquaintance of ours was security so it was no problem. Then we loaded up into a boat and went through a ride kinda like Small World. We had to leave our luggage at the boarding station, and when we got back someone had moved mine so I was trying to figure out where it went.
Then I realized I’d forgotten to make one of the main costumes I wanted to do for this year. I grabbed Chase by the collar and yelling because I was so upset I’d forgotten, because I’d really been looking forward to it. I was trying to figure out if there was anyway I could cobble it together at the con, but there was no way.
Then I stopped and looked at Chase and said, “This is just a dream, isn’t it?” I laughed and felt so relieved because I knew it was a dream.
Then I woke up.
I just think it’s hilarious that my Dragon Con stress dreams have become self-aware.
Speaking of which, I have a costume I really want to do for Dragon Con. (Not the one I dreamt about) It’s comic book based but it’s not anything well known. I tried to shop a bit for it this weekend but Joann’s was very lacking even though what I was looking for was super basic. I got a start of something for the base but that’s about it.
I saw Cinderella Saturday and loved it. I want to do the Fairy Godmother costume. But now I don’t know if I want to do that or the pink Marie Antoinette I dreamt about a while back. (so many dreams… haha).
Anyway while shopping I also got some Big Hero 6 and Doctor Who fabric. Was also tempted by Adventure Time fabric. Yay for licensed fabrics!
Tonight I need to pull out my costumes for MidsouthCon and do needed repairs. Romana especially since the cape was a mess at GMX. I really need to figure out a way to store it better than shoved in a bin.
