Another Dream
Had another strange dream last night, brace yourself as this makes less sense than the last one. First I was called in to discuss every blog entry I ever made with my boss with particular focus on any entry that alluded to her. Actual work situations keep pulling me away from the presentation which for some reason uses the image scrubbing technology from Minority Report.
In the dream no one I’m presenting to has any concern for the real work calling me away. They’ve become so focused on the minutia of my blog they’ve forgotten why we’re there - to help people. Every time I try to return to the presentation from my work area I get lost along the way - only adding to the anxiety.
Then about halfway through the presentation I realize I completely forgot about a paper that was due that day for a class that would affect my work.
Now this last wrinkle is familiar territory. I’ve had numerous dreams and several nightmares in which I’m back in school but have completely forgotten about a class and only realize my tremendous error after it’s too late, when no amount of hard work or sacrifice will fix the situation. What’s weirder still is generally when I wake up I’m completely convinced it actually happened.
Sometimes for hours after waking I’ll still be completely convinced that it was a genuine memory come back to haunt me rather than a product of my imagination. The fact is that never even came slightly close to happening at any level of my education.
Now you might think such dreams holdovers from my school days but the fact is I never had those dreams until AFTER I got my degree, how bizarre is that?
So what does this particular iteration of the dream mean? I’m going to go with cautionary tale - and perhaps an expression of frustration with recent events.
