Ok, finally a dream I'm not really having trouble interpreting...

DH and I are visiting JJ (my late voice teacher) at her apartment. She's retired and starting to fail a little (in reality, she died with her boots on so to speak at 73). While we're there, we decide to make dinner for her.

The stove is weird - it's got a glass cooktop but the bottom is black cast iron and has a dent/crease in one corner as if it had been dropped or mashed while still hot from the casting. I turn one of the burners on without realizing it and almost set a long potholder sitting on the cooktop on fire. I flip it over onto itself with a spatula and bend to turn off the burner. As I'm looking for the place to turn the burner off, I can see flames inside between the cast iron part and the cooktop part. It's clear to me that something is burning down there. I calmly tell DH and JJ that we need to call the fire department and get out because the stove's on fire.

JJ moves pretty quick with her walker and the fire department is called. We throw the stove into the backyard and when I go out to check it, I realize that it's not on fire and, indeed, shows no signs of fire at all. I think we'd better call the fire department back and foolish that I'd caused so much fuss over something that wasn't really a problem.

Ok, I'm figuring this has to do with my audition on Wednesday. DH points out (as if I didn't realize it) that I'm prone about worrying things to death that aren't a problem at all. I think it's vocally related as it features my much-loved and much-missed late voice teacher. A lesson here perhaps?
