Stress dream

Last night I had my first stress dream that I've had in...well I can't remember when the last one was, so in a loooong time. But fitting, given I am scheduled for my BIG u/s on Saturday, I got several emails and a real mail package from the far away clinic reminding me of all the paperwork and Mr.P's bloodwork that we haven't done yet (whoops). Basically yesterday was the reminder to get my ass in gear here, Pie. This is happening. Next week.

So anyway, the dream. I was back in school, like high school (isn't it always high school?), and I was told I had to do a report. It was due tomorrow. And it was to cover the entire history of the world. All of it. By tomorrow. So my rational, logical self said, "Well, can I just do the cultural history? Like just the history of art, literature, music, dance, that sort of stuff?" As if that were somehow more do-able in the 12 hours I had before the report was due. And I remember thinking to myself in the dream, "Geez. I'm usually so on top of things, I never wait til the last minute to do things like this." I was all stressed about it, that I'd never get it done in time.

Hmmmm. Doesn't take some fancy letters after your name to figure this one out, does it?

  1. I have stress dreams about high school, too. And often about the retail job I held just after high school. It's strange how the mind works. It will all come together and you will get everything done. I have faith in you!

  3. I have those dreams too and it's almost always about French class...a final I didn't study for, forgot to got to class the whole semester, etc. It's weird, but always a relief to wake up and realize it's just a dream!

    IRL you will do great. You are so on top of this and are in such great hands at far away clinic!
