Recurring Dream

I’ve had variations of the same bad dream for over a year now. Anyone wanna analyze for me? :)

So when I was finishing up my grad program last year, the dream was almost always that I had some random math requirement to fill. Apparently I was registered for a math class but forgot about this registration, never attended class, missed all the exams, and was about to take the final a few days later. Keep in mind I was in a NON-math master’s program, so nothing of the sort was required. Also, I’m really good at math, so this shouldn’t be a problem to begin with.

I would wake up panicked that I needed to study for a math test, or freaking out that I had missed it and wouldn’t graduate. Of course when I woke up I was legitimately confused and would have to spend at least several minutes seriously contemplating if what just happened was real or just a dream. Scary stuff.

The dream stopped coming over the summer, when I was several months post-graduation. It’s started coming back lately though, but in slightly different variations. Like last night for example, I wasn’t going to finish either high school or undergrad (not sure where I was) because I procrastinated. I’ve had this variation before: I have to read like 8 books for English class and do a huge project. Last night in my dream I made a list of all the senior projects I had due that week:

  1. Religion (I don’t remember the specifics but my list had 3 separate projects/papers for religion)
  2. English (write a Shakespearean play and then a 15 page paper about it)
  3. Math (solve a bunch of proofs)
  4. History (20 page paper on a topic I am NOT familiar with)
  5. Spanish (10 page paper about a Spanish book)

All were due in the next 1-2 days. I remember thinking that I could start them the next day. But then the next day would come and I would freak out about the workload. I woke up seriously dripping in sweat, again confused as to whether or not these things needed to be done.

While I wouldn’t call these nightmares, they’re definitely not pleasant dreams and I want them to stop. Ideas?

Penguin Attack?

Thanks to some fabulous insomnia that I’ve been having lately, I’ve found my self entirely exhausted for the last week and a half. After work yesterday I got a bunch of stuff done then decided to vegitate on the couch for a while. I guess I dozed off, which was both a blessing and a nuissance. 

I had this crazy dream that I moved to a new city where I knew absolutely no one. I think I was starting some sort of program at a school. I arrived, moved into my on-campus studio apartment and ventured outside. Much to my surprise, there were penguins on campus. Yes, penguins. Of course I was stoked. So the next day I think I was wandering around campus looking for class or something, and again I saw all kinds of penguins and their little babies. I guess I got excited and started chasing them. Well this turned out to be a bad idea, as they got pissed and ganged up on me. All of a sudden I was surrounded by penguins, big and small, and was getting pecked and bitten. I ran and finally made it safely to my apartment, where I found some middle-aged man, who was perhaps a professor or something. He saw how panicked I was and told me I needed to go to the hospital.

Being new to town, I had no idea where a hospital was located, so I started wandering aimlessly. Fortunately I was not attacked again. Eventually I found an ER and the nurses inside looked at me like I was crazy, but signed me in nonetheless. Eventually a doctor came to see me and told me to go home. Then another doctor came in for a second opinion. The second doctor was the hot Aussie doc from House. I was STOKED to say the least. That is until he told me I was dying from the bites on my ankles and neck. He put some Bactine on it to try and make me better and I swear to God I could feel the pain from the sting as though it was actually happening to me. I then woke up SCREAMING.

So now the question becomes which is worse: not sleeping, or sleeping and then waking up screaming from nightmares? I honestly don’t know!

Abnormal Dreams

It’s a pretty well-known that I have weird dreams. In fact, it’s pretty much a given that on any night of the week I’m going to have some crazy dream that makes absolutely no sense aside from providing entertainment. Last night was no different.

So last night I had a dream that I was pregnant with quintuplets. Even better, I was living on a boat and people were trying to find me. I don’t feel like I was in danger, but people were definitely looking for me. In fact, now that I think about it, it could have been the Mormons I met while I was in Utah. So anyway, I was having quintuplets. But some sort of problem happened and I had to have a C-Section. I went in and they gave me a local anesthetic and cut me open. Then they delivered 3 of my babies. Just 3. And one of them was 7 pounds, 3 ounces (that’s huge for multiple births). The others were tiny premies. I named one of the smaller ones, but subsequently forgot it.

Then they sewed me back up and told me I could carry the other 2 babies to term. Thinking nothing of this, I said that was fine and left the room (walked right out with no problems for that matter). Only then my stomach started morphing into weird shapes. Like a water balloon kinda. My friends on the boat didn’t know what to think. Clearly I was still pregnant, but somehow “less” pregnant than I had been. Then the people looking for me told me I was an alien. So I jumped off the boat and swam away, still 7 months pregnant with 2 babies. 

wtf is wrong with my subconscious? lol
