I had the strangest dream last night:
I am in New York and am going with my family and three of my friends to see CATS. We get there and the show starts normally and the chorus begins 'Jellicle Cats'. Around the "Jellicles can, and Jellicles do" line they all stop in there tracks and all go into a big huddle on stage right and stare at the audience looking either really depressed or manically happy. Then Ken Page and Betty Buckley enter from stage left and come to center stage. Then they break out into the waltz from THE KING AND I that Anna does with the king. Then they stop and join the group on stage right. Then Bernadette Peters and Joel Gray come on the stage and start making out. After about a minute Andrew Llowyd Webber appears on the stage looking terrible. He looks around, then he pulls out a whole lot of grenades and kills everyone on stage and everyone in the first couple of rows.
What does this dream mean? Other than the fact that I've got problems.

I'm guessing that you don't like Andrew Lloyd Webber?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Priest, I just laughed out loud, not just a giggle, laughed fully out loud.
I don't know what it means, but it's freakin hilarious!

Reminds me of Madonna's American Life video.
I dont know what it means, but some might interpret it as a sign that you should spend a little less time with musicals. Of course, those people aren't us, as we are amused and not alarmed.
I LOVE your signature quote about Republicans... I think I might have to steal that.
It means Woman in White is going to be the start of Lloyd Webber's second British invasion on Broadway.
It measn that you are a Broadway Geek. But it's ok. I had a dream that I was at the premier of Spamalot with Rosie O Donnell and we hated it,left, and went to Madonna's apt to hang out. lol

I have to agree with everyone else- it probably means you've got musicals on the brain. Supposedly sleep is when you process all the things you were thinking about the day before (which is why you may suddenly know the solution to a problem when you wake up.) So if you were thinking about musicals, you get...that.
Weird stuff. :)
I am still wondering how Ken Page was in there.
He kinda popped out of nowhere.
The scary thing is StoP, I did a show that sounds an awful lot like that once!
Only your dream had a better ending!
What was the name of the show?
Sounds interesting.

Pardon my far-flung speculations, but perhaps the dream is an unconscious fear of literal terrorist attacks or symbolic of some other kind of combustible family situation that you're afraid will "explode." Though your dream reminds me of the takeover of a theater by Chechen rebels in Moscow a few years back, I think its less about theatre or musicals then it is about concerns for yourself and your loved ones. You mention that you're with your family (feeling secure), then sudden violence and carnage erupts.
Or maybe it's as simple as you're afraid the musical theatre you adore will go "boom."
