# Another dream

Is this becoming a dream journal?  ... Maybe ?

Anyway.

Just before I woke up this morning I had this dream that I was auditioning for a singing part in .. something, like a show or jingle.  I worked, apparently, for the company, because I was auditioning for my boss, an Anthony Bourdain type, all thin and irascible and drawn.

I hadn't really prepared at all.  I realized I needed a guitar -- I was going to do it a capela, but realized that wouldn't work.  In dream fashion, a guitar appeared and I got it out to play.

I played this version of "These Days" by Jackson Browne that I'd come up with a while ago, in college.  I'm proud of the work I did but the tune is hard to nail right off, and I didn't do great.  I had some flats and I forgot the words and ended it early.

When I finished, my boss said that *if* they hired me, something something.  I had this feeling I didn't do so well.  I asked if he'd like to hear another song, and he declined.  I left feeling like maybe I did just fine and maybe they'd call.  Then I woke up.

I'm left with a deepening feeling of failure and that song stuck in my head.  It's weird.
