Have you ever had a dream with Vanessa?

I had this dream where my house was an institution for the depressed, and everyone I know was there.  They were all just milling around, being really sad, and not doing much, and I was really depressed too.
I was in my bedroom when I saw I flash of someone running by the window.  
It turned out to be Vanessa Carlton dressed in a big dog suit.  She was just running around and laughing like that.  It turns out that she was the only one there that wasn't depressed or all emo. (haha imagine that)
Then I was sitting at the table with her and I was stirring my cereal and I had a really sad face on and she was laughing at me because of it and poking me.
Then I woke up b/c my friend was poking me to get up.

I've had a dream about VC, but it's always about playing drums in her band.  The first time, I was just "sitting in", playing ATM.  I remember specific parts of the song, and how I played them.  For instance, on the CD, Abe Laboriel Jr. plays this little flourish on the hi-hat right after the end of the bridge "I....I...don't....." and back into the last verse.  Live, I never heard Nate play anything there, so in my dream, neither did I!

The last one? I was definitely in her band, and we were just past soundcheck, no one in the place just yet.  It looked like an opera hall, real classy, with red carpeted floors and everything.  I recall walking past VC as she was on the phone(like a landline), and realizing I'd best sit back behind the drums and be ready!  No performance, though.  Awakened by a Geico commercial.  Rats.

I had a dream last night that Vanessa was helping me learn how to play "Tall Tales For Spring" on the piano! I've been learning it for a while now, but I just can't get the last two pages down for some reason. Anyway, I didn't see her in the dream but she kept replaying those last two pages for me so I could learn to play both hands at the same time. So this morning, after I ate breakfast, I went to the piano to try to work out that part again, and I could play it! I thought that was really cool. I wish I could have seen her though.
