we were in this condo complex that was in a skyscraper, and we were
all part of this weird society that was sort of like the SCA, except
more period for the Renaissance as far as garbing people went. oh...
"we" is myself, heather, adrienne, regina, matthew, qarin, and various
other peanut house and echo street geeks.

we were all getting dressed up in our finest garb for the queen to come
visit us. the weird thing was that apparently the ruling elite in this
society actually had some kind of recognized power in the real world.
but my dream didn't elaborate on this very much.

well, for some reason we had a bit of a problem getting qarin into
the right kind of garb, she was too well-endowed to fit into her own
clothes, and we kept trying on other people's clothes, which of course
didn't fit. this was kind of a bummer because matthew was related to
the queen somehow (some sort of royal cousin) and so they were to be
in the procession. throughout all of this matthew sat against the
wall, dressed in wine-colored velvet, drinking and chatting with, hm,
i think regina.

the queen's procession finally arrived (remember this was all inside
some huge dark green condo), and the queen was introduced, and then
disaster struck: she was assasinated. this was terrible, as the
seat of power could not be left empty. a search for heirs commenced,
and it turned out for various reasons that matthew stood to inheirit
the crown. (lots of details are left out here, BTW, cuz my memory fuzzed
out. but this was the longest part of the dream.)

he was pretty unwilling to do this...after all he has his life outside
this society. but then the question changed, since whoever assasinated
the queen came after him.

the last i remember of the dream is a bunch of us huddling outside on
the balcony of the condo, in the rain, all in this foppish garb trying to
figure out why someone would want to kill matthew and how to prevent this
person from killing anyone in the future.
