BlogReaders Ask, I Answer: Question #3
O.K., Day 3 of answering questions. I hope you're enjoying reading these as much as I am writing them! So much to think about.
Tonight's question comes from CCR (and perhaps a cat or two):
Do you have a recurring dream? Good or bad.
Ohhhh yes. I definitely do.
It's missing the school bus.
That's right, even two degrees post high school, I still occasionally dream that I'm halfway down the street to the bus stop, and I can see the bus is driving away.
Translation? I'd say it's an anxiety dream. There's also a variation where I'm late for an exam.
The late-for-an-exam one often is set in this one building in the college I'd transferred to in my junior year. I think the college just kept adding onto the building so it became practically a maze. So occasionally--but not in a good while, I think--I find my dreaming self wandering around that hall, trying to find my class.
I know. Definitely not as interesting as this one. Or this one (uh, "rawr"?).
Next up: a question from Rob

I used to have this terrible recurring nightmare. So glad I don't have that anymore. Now my stress dreams are the Bubba being embarrassed of me or the kids getting into some kind of trouble and I don't know what to do.
I've heard a lot of people say they can go right back to a dream after waking up, but I rarely do myself. I think I just get so rattled.
Lizzie--The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? :)
Ah, yes, the dreaded stress dreams. Your priorities seem totally clear from those types of dreams! You love your family.
