I've wondered for a while why my dreams mock me (cross post from lounge).

4. My anxious dreams are about forgetting my college class schedule for many weeks at a time.

Then I remember the class, I walk in late, and they're already discussing the results of an exam I missed entirely. Usually it's a chemistry class, but sometimes it's a math class or an off-the-wall botany class, something like "The Plant Ecology of Croatia" and I realize I've missed the required field trips too.

It's either that or some authority discovers I didn't complete high school and is making me go back, and I'm sitting there in Introduction to Physical Science trying to be invisible and thinking, "Wait a minute! I was a teacher, I taught this class!!!" and feeling ten times the misfit I was at sixteen years old.
