11/28/10 A Turkey-Induced Random Thought...

Labels: ,
Can someone explain why I've been out of high school for twelve years, but I still have dreams where I the bell rings and I can't remember how to get to my next class? Or my locker combination? Or I'm taking a final exam (usually math) and I realize I don't know how to do any of it? I get that they're insecurity dreams that symbolize feeling unprepared for something (like a new baby, perhaps?) but really? All the way back to high school? There isn't anything more recent that I can worry about?

I'd really like to outgrow these dreams...mostly because they make me feel stupid. How old do you have to be before you start dreaming about IRS audits, or the water heater needing to be replaced, or high cholesterol dreams? At least then I'd feel like an adult while my subconscious fretted.

Just a thought...

I've never dreamed of the water heater thing, but I still have dreams that I'm in college and get a reminder about an exam for a class that I thought I'd dropped. I also have a dream that all of my teeth are falling out, which is very unnerving. Funny how I never dream I've won the lottery or that I'm on vacation in the Caymans.

You know, now that you mention it, I don't recall ever having a lottery or vacation dream either. What's up with that?!?

Oh, the teeth falling out! I have those all the time. It's like I can feel them coming out of my gums, like rocks in my mouth, and I just keep spitting them out over, and over, and over. But somehow, I never run out of teeth. Or even worse, I have a dream where the mailman kidnaps me and my sister and we get to the post office and it's a MAZE. And we navigate this maze all the way back to our driveway and right when we're in the driveway... MAILMAN KIDNAPS US AGAIN. Talk about frustrating. I don't have dreams about high school, but I have dreams all the time about people from high school. I dream about Gaelen all the time!!

Dreaming about work is no picknic, either. Just last night I dreamed I didn't file a motion on time and was about to be fired for it.

And by "picknic" I of course meant "picnic"

I not only still dream about high school, but I have dreams about school dealing with my kids. So, I'm not only a student but a parent as well. Can't my subconcious just pick one level to worry about?

Education develops the power of argumentation in an individual. The educated individual knows well about the ways to convince others on one’s arguments by presenting them in a logical manner.
