I had the weirdest dream last night/this morning. While I know that I cna't usually trust my dreams when I'm sick, this one struck a real chord.
I dreamt that I was doing a piano exam! It was a piano exam, but through a university/college with a building that I've never been in...it was HUGE!!! three floors...marble floors...spiral stiarcase and the exam was done on a full stage at a full-sized grand piano with a jury like they have for University! However, I hadn't practiced. I also owed the prof an essay, which I didn't do. I was out in the snow, in a car garage with a makeshift light, practicing on an out of tune rickety old upright pieces that I hadn't practiced in about 3 months, so I drilled a few of the sections that I knew I had difficulties with previously and then had to go through this tunnel through to the hallway where I had to wait with others taking their exam.
My exam was delayed, and I was so upset because I had to drive back to SJ in the storm and it would be too late to do so safely, but we (I dont' know who the we were) couldn't afford to stay an overnight.
Then it was my turn, I walked on stage, turned to the jury and told them outright that I hadn't practiced, I hadn't done any of the essays or homework assigned because I have been going through a terrible depression and lost focus, function and co-ordination, but if they'd allow me to come back in another few months, that'd be ideal, but that I would play for them, but I wouldn't be pleasant to listen to.
I have no idea what the verdict was...I either woke up or the dream simply stopped.
Odd. I haven't done an exam or jury in over 10 years! Weird the things that run through the subconscious mind!
