Is postponing my studies the right thing to do?

Hi, I'm 21, and totally confused. I have not gone to follege yet, since I spent the last two years in the military. All of my life I have dreamt of becoming a theater actress. This past January I flew to NYC and auditioned to 4 really great acting programs (Juilliard, AADA, Marymount Manhattan and Stella Adler). I was accepted to 3 of them. A few months after getting accepted, I just didn't feel like going. I felt like I needed some free time for soul searching. How bad is it to start school at the age of 22? I am completely confused. Please help. Thanx!

It's not bad to start school late (I didn't get serious about completing my BA until I was 27), but don't expect those programs to wait for you.

Good luck to you!

It is never to late to get an education. If you aren't sure what you want to do, going to college is a good place to figure it out. No telling what you will discover about yourself.
Hi Maya, It is ok if you didn't go to the acting schools, as long as one of them wasn't Julliard, because it is the best there is.

You must have some ability and experience if you got accepted at the other three, although many even highly regarded schools are just after more students to increase their income. It is not too bad to start school at age 22, depending on the school, but you don't have to go to school full time to become an actor. There are better things you could be doing with your time. Again, I except Julliard. So, do you really want to be an actor? If so, I will be glad to help you. Click on my name, read my profile, and ask me anything you want to know about acting and becoming an actor by writing me at my aol address given in my profile.

My dear, I can't recall how many times I've answered this kind of question. NO ONE can answer it for you. There are NO dream dictionaries or symbol interpretations that will apply to YOU. For example, a snake can be a good symbol to one person, %26amp; bad to another. If you want to understand your recurring dream, the ONLY way you can do so, (%26amp; you can!) is to explore it yourself. What are your emotions in the dream? What associations from YOUR life can you relate to? Are there other people in the dreams? Do you know them? Are you aware of their feelings? Are the dreams in colour? Are any of you "senses" missing? There are so many questions that will help you, just you, to understand the messages in the dreams. I have never, ever, attempted to interpret someone else's dream, only to evoke their feelings by questions they can explore. I'm certain people intend to "help," but references to GENERALIZATIONS will never get you there. The "messages" in your dreams are important. Long ago, neglecting to give a recurring dream any credence, I made a mistake I'll always regret. I don't want to be redundant, but if you're at all interested, you could go to my page, %26amp; find answers to other dream questions. (Both in the avatars "DRAGON" %26amp; "Physic Cat.) You've shown the interest that I think might make it worthwhile.

Theater

To dream that you are in a theater, signifies that you will derive much pleasure from new companionships. Consider also how the performance parallels to situations in your waking life. Observe how the characters relate to you and how they may represent an aspect of yourself. You may be taking on a new role.

To dream that you are laughing and/or applauding in a theater, indicates that you tend to choose pleasure and instant gratification over working on future goals.

To dream that the theater is on fire, signifies that any new projects you take on will be risky.

Concert

To dream that you are at a concert, represents harmony and cooperation in a situation or relationship of your waking life. You are experiencing an uplift in your spirits.

Elevator

To dream that you are ascending in an elevator, signifies that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. Descending in an elevator, denotes that misfortunes will crush and discourage you. The up and down action of the elevator may represent the ups and downs of your life go emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious.

To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control.
some schools of thought indicate activity in a theatre are higher amounts of social activities in the offing.
For second part of your question :

"Also if anyone can throw in an explanation of what riding elevators also means. They go from side to side and all these weird ways as i am in them in my dream. Thanks"

Riding elevators- is mean you trying to reach destination of something, maybe, career,self improvement, relationship and you go all these weird ways, but it's not what you need
Some says life is a theater. I am not sure how often do you go to theater, but dreaming of theater can have couple meanings.

1. Needing guidance - Most likely you are not sure what your decision, what you are looking for in life. Being in theaters could symbolize some sort of objectives you are seeking. In other words, you are waiting for things to happen., and waiting for people to show you things you have doubt about. Being in the

theater is a passive way to do things in your life.

2. Full of emptiness in social life - This could mean you have empty social life. You may some issues about your social life. Theater could symbolize social life when means you are being inactive in your social life.

As far as riding elevators from side to side, that symbolize decision making. In your subconscious mind, you are not stable about how you want to do things. In translation, that means you have doubt doing things or have problem making decision
Dreams of theaters sometimes signify a way of looking at a part of your behavior, or experimenting with feelings, as something outside of you, rather than confronting them as part of yourself. Therefore it might be a part your own past or character which you do not wish to acknowledge. The theme of the film is usually important, because it will illustrate something relevant to your own life. In some cases it it a urge to escape from what is pressing in your life.

Help with dreams?the grand theater

Dreams are often metaphors for how we feel. Perhaps you are going through a stressful time 鈥?school, work, or home life 鈥?and you feel like "it's the end of the world." Endings and beginnings are common themes in dreams, because we often are beginning or ending something 鈥?whether it be a class, a relationship, moving, etc. Sometimes we don't like the changes we are going through, thus, a dream like this 鈥?"it's the end of the world." And, we also often tend to not tell other people when we are feeling down, or are worried, and our dreams will act out those feelings for us in the way of images.

Don't worry about it, just realize that perhaps you are stressed and worried about upcoming changes. If we don't pay attention to what we are going through, then our dreams will find a way for us to pay attention. It sounds like this dream did just that!

Things will turn around and you will start having better dreams! Good luck!

actually the dream is to make us realize that this world is no longer strong..for your info i had dream of this thing many time before...and it scares me too...maybe this dream is to make you and all of us a better person...because all the thing that happen in this world always have its own reason....maybe you had commited a sin and because of that there is someone that came into your dream and wanna tell you to make it right before it's too late....
In my opinion, dreams don't predict something.I have dreamed something similar ,too and . . . nothing happened.

In dreams we can see everything we are afraid of, or everything we WANT to happen

Tattoo ideas, need help!?

I need a motivational tattoo. My dream is to start a movie theater franchise. I wanted the tattoo to be on my wrist... so it would need to be pretty small. I was thinking a reel of film? any ideas are welcome! thanks!

Tattoo ideas, need help!?chinese theater

sounds like a reel of flim would be a good selection for you, you may also want to consider your fav movie star, maybe just a star with your name it in (like the ones in hollywood) maybe a star with a dollar sign to show, you like the movies and the $ is for the $ you will make when you open up a theater, maybe popcorn... nothing says movies like popcorn :)

Tattoo ideas, need help!?opera mini opera theater

How about a clapstick...have the black and white stripes on the part you slap down and then put a star on the base...that would be so cool because it's like "movie STAR!" Good luck with your dreams, that would be awesome!
Don't get one at all. It is not healthy and it is forever/
a reel of film?

Dreams are good... but understand, dreams change... but tattoos do not (without a little laser surgery, eh?).

I would suggest not putting it on your wrist. Actually, I would suggest not permanently marking your flesh at all.

If you need a tattoo to motivate you toward your dream, perhaps it isn't a dream that is dear enough for you to warrant a tattoo in the first place.
I Was Thinkin..A Music Note. This Is Classy And Theatrical! Im Also Thinking The Drama Mask Things, Im Not Sure What They Are Called But Im Sure U Noo Bein Into All That, They Are Very Traditional! Hope Ive Helpedd! xx
The happy/sad theatre masks symbol oops I mean comedy/tragedy mask
three slashes is best *wink*
The reel sounds cool. How about the faces of comedy and tragedy on either side and overlapping a bit.
try to imagine what it will look like in 20 years. it will be faded and egg shaped and no one will know what it is. why not jewelery instead?
before u get a tattoo, try drawing a design u like on your skin with something that wont go away in one day. if you still like it after some time, get one. if you get one how bout a peace sign?
heart.scorpio,dragon,cancer ,flower,heart in fire,LOVE.
I agree that the drama mask (happy sad things) thing would be cooler than a movie reel. however, it is your skin, your tattoo, and your dreams so it is best that you choose what you like the most. As a first tattoo, I would not reccomend getting it on your wrist. I personally have 15+ tats (some blend together so hard to count), but none can not be hidden with t-shirt and pants. Its just better to be able to hide them sometimes and that is hard to do on your wrist. I love all my tats and proud of them, but you never know what kind of situation you may be placed in.

Are Drive-In Theaters completely out?

Okay. It's rare for drive-in theaters being around anymore. My lifetime dream is to reopen a drive-in theatre and show 70's/80's films, mixed with the up to dates. I want it to have an authentic vibe. When I tell this to people, they know for a fact I can do it, but they mention that drive-in theatres are "out". If I were to reopen a vintage drive-in theatre, do you think people would still come?

they are dying out. who would go to a drive in movie. this is no longer the 1950's any more

Are Drive-In Theaters completely out?extension opera theater

there is one here in Tampa called Fun-Lan drive in. on Hillsborough Avenue
there is one like 15 minutes away from me i go with my b/f and sometimes friends and mom sometimes :)
I would come i think its pretty sweet
That is a great idea. But its hard to tell, if it would be succesful. In my opinion it would do great for a short while then nose dive and you would loose money. The problem is getting people to consistantly come out, which would be pretty difficult considering cars arnt that comfortable, they could rent a movie and watch it at the comforts of home or jsut go to a movie and sit in nice comfy chairs. But if its your dream follow it.
Fantastic idea, what is killing drive-ins is that they are located close to urban centres and the real-estate becomes too valuable to justify the returns a drive-in offers....
i saw a double feature of knocked up and evan almighty in a drive-in

behind me they had oceans 13 and fantastic 4 silver surfer

so they aren't completely out.

i'd come depending on the movie.

good 70-80's movies are batman, the terminator, star wars original trilogy, bettlejuice, the shining.

A little help with my long-term goal!?

I want to own my own movie theater someday, it's a big dream of mine. Some people tell me to start working in a movie theater... that whole start at the bottom thing... someone else bought me a book about the history of Hollywood... anything you guys can come up with? you are all so cool...

A little help with my long-term goal!?opera cd

I would just do some research and scout some places to rent or buy. You can do a main stream movie theater or (more interesting) a theater that plays classic movies. Like have horror fest nights or disney movie days. You really don't have to work at a theater-I worked at one and it's not really that great of a learning experience-but it was fun. Good luck!!

A little help with my long-term goal!?opera singer opera theater

i would agree that you should start at the bottom of the totem pole and work your way up..

good luck i hope that your dream comes true
there's a lot of old run-down theaters out there. In my town there was a retro-style one; someone bought it, and turned it into a banquet hall. so start saving your money and just buy one. But good advise to work in one and learn how to run it.

Good Luck.
