What Dreams My Come

Last night I had a dream. It was a variation on dreams that I have had in the past. 

I am in college and for some reason in these dreams I have become a supreme screw up. It is the end of the semester and I have a couple of classes that I never go to. Why? Lazy, I guess and they are usually early morning math classes. My least favorite subject. I start to stress out. Wondering how I'm going to pass when I haven't even been to class in a month. Won't I just fail out right due to the lack of attendance? 

I try to make it to one of the last scheduled classes, but I can't remember where it's held. This is when the building is reminiscent of a high school rather than a university. So the first couple of classes of the day I miss because I can't find them. I'm screwed. I'm going to flunk out. I am stressed and anxious, in a freaking dream. 

In real life, for the most part, I have always been a very punctual person. But there was a time in high school when my first class of the day was Algebra. I was constantly late for this class. I had trouble getting up in the morning. I wouldn't be late by much, but my teacher was a stickler. I ended up with many detentions that year. 

When I had the class I did very well, I got A's I believe. But as soon as the class/test was over I forgot everything. Numbers and formulas and such will/would not stay in my head. 

In my third year of Marygrove College, I screwed up too. I was going through some teenage angst (even though I wasn't really a teenager any more) and I stopped going to one of my classes. I never had the work done. I should have dropped the class and not screwed up my GPA. But I didn't ...... that was really dumb.

So why all the stress now about it. I don't know. I could consult my interpreting dreams for dummies. The other recurring dream I have at times is about being in a play and not knowing any of my lines. Either I am just an understudy who has to go on last minute or am surprised that I am in a play at all and have to go on last minute. There was one dream where I went around asking everyone involved with the play to use their script (as if I could memorize the whole play in a half an hour). Nobody would give me one. 

Sometimes I am in the play and have just failed to learn my lines. Or I have studied them but remember them in the wrong order..... And on and on and on. 

I usually wake up before I have to get on stage. But once I think I didn't. I said everything wrong and then had a sword fight. I think it was a Shakespeare play. 

Yeah, that's weird. I hope to share with you weirder ones in the future. And don't forget:  remember your lines and study your Math.
