Lady Gaga and me!

Yep, its true, I danced with my friend Krista for Lady Gaga's back up dancers, but I did not make the cut.

Did I mention this was my dream last night?

In my dream, my friend krista dragged me to Lady Gaga's dance rehersal. This would earn you a spot as a back up dancer. I can dance for fun, but gosh I could trip over my feet trying to follow anything that is remotely coordinated! So even things like aerobics are a challenge! Can't get my feet/arms moving at the same time in order to follow the pattern. Yes its funny and okay to laugh, I am!

Well, Lady Gaga pulled me aside and said that she was sorry that I would not be making the team. I hadn't really danced much, but new I was horrible. She let me know that this had nothing to do with my dancing skills. That it was that I did not fill out the application correctly. According to her, on a form that I certainly did not remember filling anything out I missed a question. You had to tell her what "person" you looked like. I guess if you had a "celebrity look alike" is what she was looking for. I stood there and had a look on my face like I had no idea what to say. I honestly can't think of any celebrity that I look like. There for I failed.

She explained that by being able to pick a person who YOU thought you looked like, gives her and indication of your personality.

Now even though the dream is over, I still can't help but think what this dream could possibly mean. Before going to bed, I was telling my husband that it sucks that as we get older, we kinda change in our looks. I think it would be far better to remain in what we looked like in our mid 20s. I could totally go for that.

But what does Lady Gaga stand for? She has her song "born this way". I think that the message in this dream is to accept yourself for who you are. That its not about the outside of a person (as she was definately not judging me based on appearance) but rather than inner character.

So perhaps you should be confident in who you are as a person, rather than who you think you look like? (meaning whether or not you feel that your are attractive, or too skinny, or a bit over weight)

Any thoughts on this dream?
