Hi everyone :D Have you ever had to fill a role you didn't think you'd be the right fit for? Well, that's exactly what happened here, but thankfully the outcome was better than expected, lol. Enjoy!
*Old Dream - December 22, 2015
***
I was part of a group of travelling performers. There were different roles and everyone got a chance to change roles if desired or needed.
For example there were singers, and instrumentalists (mostly drummers, but there were also people who just had sticks and hit whatever was around the environment, like stage equipment, flooring, etc.), and even if you sang at one event, you would be able to play an instrument at the next event and then someone else would sing.
I was usually an instrumentalist, but I had to sing in front of a large crowd of people because the one who was supposed to couldn't so I decided to help out for the next couple of events.
Interestingly I wasn't really scared. I was definitely a little hesitant at first but after seeing how excited the crowd was got me all fired up, lol.
The first time singing was really awesome; the words just came out. I didn't feel any fear after the first few lines, and the instrumentalists were great! We worked well together even when we were improvising.
The second time singing was still good, but the head drummer went on too long when leading the crowd on drum rolls (3 times and really long). I had to do them too just to add group spirit but my fingers were tired after. One of the other performers even asked me what was going on :/
After the show I got talking to one of my friends (and fellow performer), she said I should do it again for a few more shows because of how happy I looked. I said she should go on because it's her turn but she insisted I continue in her place. She was really nice and encouraging :)
Below are some lyrics that I remember (or at least the gist of). The song was about encouraging the crowd to sing and to show them that they are/can be awesome if they believed in themselves and their abilities.
To all of you
To all of me
Sing it for you
Sing it with me
Sing it from the heart
This is what you should to do
So that you believe in you
It's longer than just these lines but I don't remember much else, lol. Also I think the third and fourth lines got repeated until the crowd really got into it.
After that, while still in the dream I was talking to my sister about the dream and trying to write down the lyrics. That sort of helped me remember more for when I was really awake.

I really enjoyed this dream. I had lots of fun singing in front of a crowd (which I've never done in real life), and the positive energy from the final performance (the one where the lyrics come from) was off the charts! I would love to experience something like that in real life, maybe one day :D
Is there something you have always wanted to do, but maybe too afraid to try? If so, then I wish you have the most amazing dream about it and re-energize your spirits :D
