How did the characters interpret the voice of Adela in their dream?

What was the schedule for the characters upon waking up in Chateau Clair de Lune?
The schedule included getting their costumes made for the masquerade, having mid-dusk tea with Adela, attending a cotillion, and participating in Adela's birthday dinner.
