I dreamed that I was a huge star of a ballet troupe performing at an upcoming upscale city-wide talent show. Except that in the dream, I was only told that I was the star of the show one hour before the performance, and have no ballet skills whatsoever (I was not even aware that I was part of the troupe). Somehow I ended up on stage anyway with my entire ~50-membered ballet troupe. When the curtains rose, I had no idea what to do and entertained the audience the only way I knew how: by doing kung fu and knocking out all my fellow troupe members, a la Jet Li vs roomful of Japanese blackbelts style (like this, but without the English dub) . I then made my escape through the theater back door.
Perhaps this is a subconscious analogy for the Internal Medicine elective I have just begun, where I basically function as the resident. (By the way, this dream happened while I was passed out unintentionally on the couch after a 14-hour night shift).
P.S. I have no kung fu skills in real life either.
