a monday morning mini heart attack
last night i had the worst nightmare i've had in months. i'm talking about a "tossing and turning, palms sweating, wake you up with heart palpitations" nightmare. in this nightmare i was surrounded by some of my old friends from high school in a classroom. no big deal. but then i realized that tests were being handed out and my friends were getting out their pencils and scratch paper. this is when i started to worry. then i looked up at the board and realized i was in a calculus class. and yeah, when i was in high school i took my share of calculus tests and did just fine on them, but this was not high school me. this was NOW me. and now me has forgotten every single bit of calculus and pretty much anything math-related in general. so by now i was panicking. and i tried to play it all cool to my buddies, like, guys i haven't done a single assignment all year and i barely went to class and i didn't even know about this test, but i don't care. but on the inside i was more like, this is the worst day of my life. and i frantically tried to look up sin x and graphing functions and such in my book before a test got to my desk. and then i woke up. so tell me, do these dreams ever go away? any of you done with school for good and still have "unprepared for school" dreams? cause i hate them. and i need to know.

I sort of have this problem. Actually, my 10 year high school reunion this coming weekend.. I lived in the country, and so my school was a half hour - 45 minute drive, which meant everyone took the bus. I still have dreams that I miss the bus at the end of the day, and that I have no way home.. It's the most anxious feeling.
ReplyDeleteoh don't even worry that i have stressful dreams like....all the time! even when i am not stressed in real life! my subconscious plays dirty tricks on me. the other night i dreamt about a boy i briefly dated last year who really hurt my feelings and i woke up feeling panicky and insecure and thinking "seriously?" ...maybe we should try hypnosis so we can dream about unicorns and puppies?
ReplyDeletelet's try hypnosis so we can dream about getting lost in a giant bookstore with CORN DOGS!
DeleteI have a re-occurring dream of me going back to either my old elementary school or high school. But I'm at the age I am now. I always complain that I already went through this & that I don't want to do it again. I think it might be because I dropped out of college & I'm a little insecure when it comes to school. Doesn't help that everyone else in my family has a degree. Boo! Sidenote: I have heard that if you eat cheese before you go to bed you can get nightmares. So stay away from cheese!
