madbakerI dreamt that I was in a commedia. I was one of four soldier characters; there were two pairs of complementary characters that played off each other.
I explained how the bare bones from the scenario actually revealed a lot of the character details. I was a cavalry soldier, which meant that I was at least minor nobility to have had training, armor, and a warhorse. My pair was a footsoldier, so he was a peasant. You could play this different ways: as dumb peasant (a la Baldrick) or overly-clever peasant and clueless noble (Jeeves and Wooster). Or, it being commedia, both as utterly stupid and self-absorbed.
I don't remember the other pair. My subconscious got all caught up in my explanation and forgot about the other two.
