For the second morning in three I’ve wakened to the memory of one of those can’t-find-my-locker forgot-there-was-a-test kind of dreams. Maybe I’m being overly empathetic to my two children who are at the end of their high school and college careers.
This morning it was KP who was refusing to let me study from her math quizzes. I had been forgetting to go to class and needed to catch up. (The other dream a week a go was that I’d been forgetting to go to a college shorthand class. Don’t get me started on taking shorthand in college. Until that dream, I’d forgotten I’d even had shorthand in college!)
The only thing I can come to is that I subconsciously feel unprepared for something. But honestly, there’s nothing on the calendar for which I must prepare.
Confusing.
Ok, here’s the deal. If you’re a dream expert and my little revelation confirms I’m wacko, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. I guess it would be ok to e-mail me, but for goodness sakes, leave it out of the comment section.
Other elements to this type of dream:
Wearing my house shoes to school (Funny thing that one. I’d wear my house shoes to the grocery store if I thought I could get away with it.)
Forgot my locker combination
Forgot the classroom’s location
So what about you? Do you ever have that kind of dream?
You are not the only one. I have a recurring dream that I am back in high school going to fail a class because I skipped the first several sessions and didn’t do any of the homework assignments. No idea what it means….. I am the type of person who, to say the least, could stand to be more organized. So maybe I have a deep-rooted fear that this deficiency will come back and bite me some day….?
I often have this dream where I go back to the first apartment a roommate and I had in college and I don’t know what my class schedule is – everyone is going to class and I’m in the middle of it all with no where to go. Do you think that means I would pick a different major if I had to do it all over or do I just feel like I’m not going anywhere now?
I think it means you really want to go back and energize FC again. The shorthand symbolizes you would do it in a more limited fashion.
Or you could be nuts.
I love you guys.
Ooooh.
“anxiety about being judged, or if you’re in a situation you don’t know how to handle”
This makes a lot of sense. It was a week of heavy lawsuit crap. Can I reverse sue for mental anguish?
