Dreaming

I had the strangest dream last night. I was in my high school auditorium as an adult with other adults I didn't recognize. I was there to rehearse a three person play only there were four of us in the play.

I and this other guy were sharing one of the parts. He was going to play the role in the first act and I was going to play it in the second act. He was really good and knew his part. I didn't know any of my lines or what the play was about.

Here is where it gets really strange. Not only did I not know my part, but the part was written for an Asian man. (A hint for those of you who don't know me...I'm not Asian.)

To get a little weirder, the other guy was Asian. I wanted to get out of playing the part because clearly I wasn't suited for the role. Everyone including the Asian actor seemed shocked that I didn't want to do the play. I was trying to explain to them that it made no sense having two people playing the same role especially when one of them knows the part when I don't and he is also the same ethnicity of the character and it would be ridiculous, if not insulting, to have a white man playing the role of an Asian. But they just looked at me with disappointment and disbelief.

Comments

Wow. Interesting. Lots of possible interpretations.
