i dremt i dremt (T-ara compared to cats)

I dremt there are Websites devoted to pictures of cats who look like members of T-ara.* Maybe even an animated TV show where T-ara (and all other people) are cats. I'm donating items to Goodwill, and I see, in a bag next to mine, decorative eggs that are painted as T-ara cats. As my friend Mary is driving me back, I proudly tell her, "This is where I got the idea." I'm chosen to direct the movie. It is originally to be lighthearted, but I say to myself, "I'm gonna do this right." In the movie, things are going well in Catworld, T-ara performing, sometimes as a band, playing all the instruments themselves. Then an evil sorceress transforms them into new creatures: human beings. There are worries that I'm going overbudget. We run a saturation ad campaign, in the U.S. as well as Korea, playing one clip over and over:
Jiyeon: When I move my arms, they seem as if they're not my arms but someone else's. When I move my legs, they seem as if they're not my legs but someone else's.
Psychiatrist: How long have you felt this way?
Jiyeon: Always.
Strangely, this dream makes almost no reference to the recent controversy, though there is the flicker of a thought that we have to mention it in the movie: I make the quick decision to write it briefly into an early cat scene, but not as a major event.
*This idea is not far-fetched, though when I do a Google image search for "cats that look like T-ara," I only get T-ara looking like cats. Now that I think of it, the mv for the Japanese version of "Bo Peep Bo Peep" has them as cats and (briefly) cats as them:
And T-ara have endorsed the Tony Moly Cats Wink Crazy Tint Stick (cat-shaped lip balm sticks, "hybrid lip product that's lip balm and tint that changes to a color that best suits your skin tone").

And
*Most likely was reprehensible in the other instances too, though of course that would depend on the instance, and I don't even know if it's happened to anyone but SNSD.
