Interesting dream of mine

So. It's official: Richard Horvitz has inadvertently invaded my dreams.

I was at some sort of school in this dream and I was in line to get some food from the cafeteria. The line was incredibly short, probably only four people in it, counting my mom and me. There were about five people who appeared to be working there, most were female but there was one male.

As I waited in line, I heard the male speak a few times, and I thought he sounded familiar, but he didn't say enough for me to be sure. I got out of the line and watched him. Then he laughed loudly at something one of his co-workers said and said something I don't recall.

"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE RICHARD HORVITZ!" I ran up to the guy, who looked surprised.

"Huh? No, I'm not...who's he? The name sounds kinda familiar, though," he replied to me. I was disappointed that it wasn't really Horvitz, but I was still amazed nonetheless.

I explained some things to the guy and he looked interested, though a little doubtful. I asked him if he ever considered taking up voice acting.

"No, I couldn't do that. You see, I can do these voices, but I can't do them with any emotion," he told me. I wasn't shaken, however, and kept at it.

"Well, you could always take an acting class. With some training, you could be, like, a fantastic Richard Horvitz impersonator," I encouraged him, though now that I'm awake I'm wondering what the world would need two Richard Horvitzs or one Richard Horvitz and a Horvitz impersonator for.

So, I took him by the hand and took a walk with him, talking with him about various things and trying to come up with suggestions of what kind of acting classes he could take. I remember thinking about Doug J., my acting teacher at the WCT, but I wasn't too sure about having this grown man be taught by an actor that normally teaches children.

Here's a reminder: Though it's easy now to think of logical alternatives or answers for this man, I was sleeping. Earth logic does not apply to dreams.

So, that was basically my dream. There was a little more to it, parts I don't really know how to describe because it's hazy. I do remember that sometime after the Horvitz-guy left, I met Ryo Hayakawa and she needed to help interpret Japanese for this group.

...A very strange dream. I'm kinda disappointed that this Horvitz-esque man was nameless. I'm kinda disturbed that in my dream I went to such lengths of talking with guy just because he was similar to a man I'd like to meet. And that this similarity went about as far as his voice and not much else.
