In the dream, all of us black belts who were there to judge her were sitting in an old-fashioned British courtroom with huge wooden benches and desks. She walked in calmly and then announced that instead of performing her kata for her test, she was going to do an interpretive dance about her journey to the black belt. The dance involved her twirling colored streamers representing all of the different belt colors that she had passed through, and feathers to show her "upward journey". It was very moving and original. And then I woke up.
Fortunately, when the day came the belt test happened in the same room in the dojo that it always does, and she arrived prepared with her kata and bunkai and other techniques, no interpretive dancing needed. Along with a partner, she demonstrated her mastery of the black belt curriculum and she passed! Since we've been training together for many years, I'm so excited for her.
Interestingly, since having this dream (among many other very detailed ones), I came across this post on PaleoOz.com about Vivid Dreaming and Eating Paleo. It looks like I'm not the only person out there to experience more vivid dreams since switching up my eating habits. I'm not complaining, since I always like a good nighttime entertainment, even if it involves interpretive dancing.

For me, Melatonin makes the dreams vivid.
Your dream is creative. Pleasant. Interesting. This must mean you are creative, pleasant and interesting?
I had a dream last night that I was trying to dig upward out of a dark tunnel. It was pitch black and muddy, and I was surrounded by dirty laundry cluttering the pathway up. Tthe dirty laundry began to suffocate me before I could get to the surface.
I like your dream better. :) haha! It think both dreams are symbolic, though, huh?
