An Old Friend In Serious Trouble?

I'm far from a fan of celebrities or their gossip but in last night's dream, Britney Spears was apparently an old friend who needed a shoulder to cry on. She had called me and I met her at some hotel that was pretty nice, but far from large. It almost reminded me a bit of the Westin in Whistler, but cozier and not too many guests.

Britney met me in the downstairs restaurant for lunch. She confided in me that she's not really crazy, but that she is putting on an act so that the press would back off a bit. Of course I stated the obvious and told her that this tirade was far from shooing the gnats away. We got to talking and she was crying and I got the vibe that she was an ex-gf of mine. After more tears and her asking me to help her, I got a phone call from somebody and I had to leave as she went to the restroom. Of course she had asked me to stay and wait for her, but I had to take off.

As I was gone, I got all kinds of phone calls from her, upset about me leaving. She told me that she never expected me to turn my back on her. I told whoever I was with that I had to go back because Britney needed me there again, and the person freaked out that I knew her. Of course I said "we go way back..it's no big deal." From what i gathered, Britney only had a few friends and I was one.

When I got back, there was a table with all kinds of relatives around telling Britney that she needs to get her life in control. I sat down and apologized for flaking on her, and I told her where I was at. After I told her, I was quickly doubted and a TV screen popped up beind a relative. A playback showed me by a pool talking to somebody, doing the exact opposite of where I said I was.

After Britney saw that, she called me a liar and she ran off. For some reason, a scene flashed and I saw her standing above a sink, slitting her wrists with arazor blade. Of course, I was startled awake.

This was probably the strangest dream I've ever had, and for some reason I had a humane connection with Britney. Very odd.
