i had too much to dream last night.

i got to sleep last night for about 5 hours, so not too bad really. the thing about me actually sleeping during this high stress time however is that i tend to have really weird, really scray, really fucked up dreams. this is how the dream went...
on monday [this one coming, and this is true] the panel operators for the radio groups in my radio course are doing a practice on air show to get used to the panel in the live sense. this dream was about how this practice show might play out. as far as i know, i am the only one in this group who has panel experience from being on a different station, so for this show in my dream i began the show to get us into a flow and to show the others that it's nothing to be worried about [not to sound cocky or anything, but i did panel my own show for 2 years without any hitches]. so we're going all cool, it's sounding great, to us, and we're about to go to air after a little bit of a play around. the count down is on, we're ready to press play on our intro and... oh fuck, i have no idea where the on air button is or what it looks like. dead air. when you're on radio dead air is the scariest thing you could possibly imagine. it is something you do not want to happen. at the station i used to be on we only had one studio, so when the panel was on and the mics were up, you were on air. 3rrr however has 3 studios that we have seen so far, and they all have a little button that can put us on air. i had a huge freak out when we couldnt get on air and i woke up when my alarm went off [which in my dream was a 'warning warning, put the panel on air or the studio will explode' kind of alarm] and was quite fraught. after such restless and unsatisfying sleep i didnt want to get out of bed. i had to force myself out to have a shower and have been sluggish and on the verge of sleep all day.
in other news my hold request on pretty in pink came through today so perhaps i will watch that before i go to bed tonight and think nice things in my sleep. i have never seen pretty in pink but i assume as it is an 80s brat pack film starring molly ringwold it will be nice and funny and will give me nice dreams.
fingers crossed.
