Christmas lights, candles, kittens

I dreamt that I was staying in a basement at my aunt's. She was trying to make it cozier for me so she was stringing up Christmas lights. These were not your typical little white lights. Over each light was an object, a white church, a little house with snow on the roof, a poinsetta, a snowman, etc. It was kind of over the top as each object that the light would show through was large, but it was nice of her and I was kind of interested in seeing what it all looked like when it was done.

I was coming home from a restaurant with some friends. An Italian friend of mine (C.F.) and a guy from my German class(S.). It was dark and rainy outside and we were getting in or out of a car. Another friend of mine was there (B.M.), who is a photographer. They were all working on some project and they wanted me to be in it singing. I said really??? I'm not a singer. But for whatever reason, they still wanted it. I went into what seemed to be my apartment. It was cluttered, a bed on the floor, candles everywhere, flowers, draped fabric in reds and golds. I felt like there was something between S and I and it was nice. I fell asleep on the bed and when I woke up, I realized I was somewhat late, somewhat not feeling myself and worried that I had left the candles burning all night. I went around to each one blowing them out and the kittens were jumping up on tables following me around. I was worried they might catch on fire, and I felt lucky the place didn't catch on fire while I was sleeping. All of the candles were burned down to the ends. One candle was interesting.. it was large and hollowed out in the middle from burning all night, but there was a wick on each side of the hollow.. as if there were three places to burn a candle from. I left from there to go to a medical office. It was still evening and I took a cab.. I think I was a nurse or worked there.
