I had a weird dream on Thanksgiving morning. In the dream I was watching a musical performance on an awards show. This was one of those group performances that you sometimes see with several famous people singing together. For instance you might see Mariah Carey standing on stage singing her part and then they’ll cut to Celine Dion standing in the balcony singing her part and then they cut to Beyonce walking down the aisle singing her part, etc.

In my dream I think it was Christina Aguilera who had just started singing her part of some song. She was standing in the audience at the top of a set of stairs. All of a sudden she trips. I expected her to sprawl out across the steps, but instead she starts tumbling down the steps. The camera zooms in on her and follows her descent down the stairs, similar to the way it does during sports games when the camera is following the ball or the ball carrier. I start screaming at the TV for them to cut away or go to commercial, but they don’t. It must have been a long way down, because she was tumbling down for a long time and I watched the whole thing. Finally, Christina reaches the bottom and lands on the floor. And the song continues. The camera cuts to the next performer and she sings her piece. I start screaming that they should stop the song, but of course they don’t. In my dream I was horrified. Then I woke up and it was hilarious.
