Okay, so last night I had a dream- not a nightmare- and it was strange. I don’t remember how it started, but an old foalhood friend of mine and I, as adults, were in a play. It took place in a naval academy through three sets- all of which were set up at once- and we and the other actors would move between the sets as appropriate through, like, prop walls.

I seemed to be replacing some other actor. And my character was trying to propose to my friend’s character. We both loved each other, but my friend’s character was, I think, worried I was trying to advance our relationship too fast or something. There were some religious undertones and her character was very specific about wanting to get married for the right reasons. But she was about to leave the academy for some long voyage, and I couldn’t go for some reason.

Anyway, the whole thing eventually leads up to the big final scene where the center set turns out to actually be a secret forth set, as the walls of the building lower to reveal that the stairs were really the gangplank to board the ship. And my character and her character have our last conversation about love and marriage. And I remember my character said something along the lines of:

“I don’t feel that you will have changed when you get back. But the world will have.“

And that lead into a sorrowful, musical number for the ending, where it’s implied that their character leaves. And then everypony started clapping and the play was over and we all just kinda left the set to talk to the audience or something? I woke up soon after.

Mare, though. I wish I remembered that song. I remember it being really emotional and good.

Edit: Oh, and she and I were the lead singers of the song.
