If you think yourself an actor/actress, you will have to work for subsistence, but your labors will be pleasantly attended.

To dream of failure is a dream associated with fear of being inadequate and a fear of not having a winning personality.

For a bit of background behind this dream, I should explain I am part of an amateur dramatics society and we are currently rehearsing for our next play which is Alice in Wonderland. I have got the part of the Gryphon, which although is an unknown part, is reasonably big.

*It was the night of our first performance and we were performing down Middle Temple lane, in the cobbled street with the audience standing round us in a circle. I was late for the performance and when I arrived, realised they were already mid-flow. I waited for my prompt to enter, when I realised they were already half way through my scene, so I rushed onto the stage to join the other actors. They were carrying on as if nothing had happened and waiting for me to jump in with my lines but I couldn't figure out where in the script they were so started to improvise. I completely ruined the scene and looked unprofessional and not only was it the opening night, but also the night all my friends and family had come to watch. Once it was over I could hear them walking away making comments such as "she was hopeless" and "I don't know why she bothers going, she just ruined it". I was of course very upset and the Director of the play was shouting at me in front of the rest of the cast.
