I'm not the All-Cal Chair, so why am I having stress dreams?

Seriously, I had the craziest Sacred Harp dream ever. It was the All-Cal, and we couldn't even get people to sit in their parts-- we were all seated auditorium style, and then moved into a square, but even then, no one was sitting where they were supposed to. I even ended up in the bass section by mistake for a while.
I was secretary, but I couldn't find the arrangers to get the reg cards, and was trying to figure out how to spell people's names phonetically as they were called out. I even forgot to list the first few songs! And I FORGOT TO COOK. Yup, showed up to the singing empty-handed.
While I was having this mini-meltdown, the rest of you weren't faring much better. We were so hysterically off tempo that Natalia stood up and kept time with exaggerated arm movements and emphatic foot-stamping. And to top it off, Rebecca publicly chastised someone for giving the pitch wrong.
That's when I woke up. Whew.

Hee, now that it's all over and done with I'd like to point out my relief that your dream wasn't in any way prophetic! I did my best to refrain from public chastisement.
