Puff the house manager dragon

Everyone has dreams relating to their work. An actor might go up on her lines. A director's cast doesn't show up. A prop master is asked for ketchup and has to go to India to find it. Usually we keep these dreams to ourselves, but this one I had to share.

In mine, I had a pet dragon that helped me house manage at the Berkeley Rep.

My dragon was jade green and about 8 feet tall. It flew around the Roda lobby helping to get people into the house. It was friendly and only used fire when absolutely necessary. The coolest part of the dream was when it soared and swooshed in the Roda Theatre to get everyone settled and ready for the show. The house quieted as a beautiful dragon flew through the air above their heads.

No need to analyze, please!
