Dreamin' the Dream?

jamesqWhat's noteworthy about this dream is not the content, it's the fact that I remembered it enough to relate at all.
I was at a big SCA event and in this dream-time the SCA operated differently: Everyone came to this one big event to see all the kings and queens from all the kingdoms get elevated to the throne in one giant ceremony.
I was watching the festivities when they started calling names for An Tir. Nobody went up (I later discovered it's because everyone else was late for the ceremony). Finally, they asked if anyone from An Tir was present. I was the only one, so they hauled my ass up on stage and planted a crown on my head. Suddenly I was King. This was cool for about three minutes and then I wanted out.
By this time, others from An Tir had arrived and were all congratulating me. But something was bothering me. Some niggling little detail that I was sure made all of it moot.
It's also noteworthy because you couldn't imagine anything like this happening in the real SCA. Peoples' heads would explode if some random guy got crowned because the rightful heir was late for the ceremony.
I'm not sure what this dream means, so I'll just say it's about sex. Any dream you can't interpret is probably about sex. The only exception is that dream I have were I'm standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at me.

"Wait, isn't there some obscure rule that says you have to win a Crown Tournament to be King?"There was a lot of muttered discussions and people were flipping through tome-like rule books.
"I think he's right - I think you do need to win a Crown Tournament," said a random SCA policy wonk.And that was that.
"I won the last Crown Tournament - I guess that means I should be king now." said one knightly-fellow.
"Cool. Take this," I said, handing the Crown to him with much relief.
