Escaping has been on my mind lately so in Dreamland last night I went to Munchkinland. I wasn't sure, but I did see a few munchkins. 
          I went through these big gothic wooden doors and I found myself in an animal shelter. Or at least I think that's what it was. There were many prison-like cells and I saw cats, german shepherds, and prisoners in orange outfits. I obviously didn't belong so I followed the hallways straight and to the left. That brought me to a kitchen. I donned an apron and looked busy at the oven. The head chef then arrived and took some meatballs out of the oven. I layered some uncooked meatballs with sauce and put them on a pan for her to cook. We made pleasant conversation. Then she left. She quickly came back and asked the kitchen crew what was burning. I didn't smell anything, but I checked on my handiwork anyway. They were charred. The head chef didn't blame me because I was a newbie. I tasted one and thought they were still delicious but the chef informed me that they had to be perfect for the wizard. I really didn't want to incur the wrath of Oz. I decided the kitchen wasn't for me so I turned in my apron and snuck away. I went outside where there was a cobbled street surrounded by straw houses. The munchkins (some wearing cat costumes and some not) were playing on the tops of the houses and generally making  mess. I didn't feel like bing blamed for that so I found my stuff in an alley between the houses (a lot of "my stuff" I didn't recognize but inside a bag I found my jounal that I write in before I copy it to Xanga so I took it all) and followed the road through another very large wooden gate.
          I was glad to be free so I made up a song and skipped until I saw a parade-like procession going down the large cul-de-sac-like street. The watchers were very solemn, but respectful. Then the reigning authorities arrived on their chariots and I greeted them all with a nod and what I guessed to be their titles in this order "Princess" -nod "Prince" -nod "Queen" -nod and "King" -nod. The watchers then followed the monarchs into a spacious arena. It reminded me of the assemblies of Jehovah's Witnesses that I attend. That's when I realized everyone was formally dressed except for me. Then the speaker on the platform told everyone to turn to Acts in their bibles. He told them condescendingly that that was to the left (even though it isn't) so everyone held up their hands and pointed to a different directions. It took about five minutes for them to straighten out which way left was. I laughed. Then I wondered how to get out without drawing attention to myself. Then I noticed how there were many people of different races paying rapt attention to the speaker. I looked outside and watched a schoolbus from a neighboring  school district before I woke up. The end.

I think this is a reference to how I don't know where I belong yet. I was able to smile and help out in the kitchen by taking someone else's place, but it wasn't who I am. Then there's wanting to please everyone (burning the food) and not wanting responsibility (munchkins). I think with the monarchs my dream was telling me that I can get away with that sort of disrespect because no one will notice me anyway. The munchkin's costumes came from what I was doing yesterday: looking through Sims 2 downloads at Parsimonious.
