I've had naught but nightmares
...for the past few nights. Well, not nightmares exactly, but anxiety dreams for sure. The kind of dreams I wake up from going, oh good, I'm awake now and live in the real world and I actually have NOT signed up to donate a kidney and accidentally signed up to donate two kidneys and now have to straighten the matter out with the head of the hospital who's already lined up surgeries for two kidney-less orphans.
One of my anxiety dreams is an extended variation on the "i haven't studied for the test" dream. It's rooted in fact: I took biology my second year in college, stopped going after two classes, intending to withdraw, forgot to withdraw, and got an F. I had to take bio again over the summer at community college and I didn't get the grade in to my school on time and almost didn't graduate at all.
Anyway, so I'm used to having the dream where I realize it's the last day of class and I forgot to drop bio. I guess I've gotten a little TOO used to having that dream. NOW I have a dream where I've gone and enrolled in THREE WHOLE NEW CLASSES at some TOTALLY NEW DREAM UNIVERSITY, and somehow I seem to manage dream-studying for two of the classes, but TOTALLY FORGET about the third one. WTF??? Why must my brain elaborate an entirely new school that I've never been to for me to go to? Why not a dream office? Why not any of the schools I've already been to? Why do I have to rustle through my dream backpack for the dream map so I can find my way around the new dream school? That. Is. Weak.
There are some dream hotties who I have class with, which is cool. It's just I can't dream-flirt with them because they all look so young to me. Apparently my subconscious feels it's necessary for me to repeat undergrad, not go on to grad school, so I'm running to class with a bunch of lil' 18 year olds.

did i ever tell you about the dream with the guy and the nail gun? at least your dreams aren't japanese horror flick/silent hill scary.
and they're *dream* hotties. who cares if they're 18? maybe they're into 'older' ladies? hmm?
Eeeeeps! No, you did not tell me that story. Jeepers. That is way scarier.
Yeah... I guess I should just hook up with a classmate the next time I go to Dream State U.
