To get us back on topic after my last post ahem...
I have been having these recurring strange dreams for the past few years. I have brought it up on the motW mailinglist but I'll bring it up here as well because I had another one last night. The basic premise of them is that I am back in high school but its in the present so I am at school but I am 24, for example, and not 16. Usually the dream entails seeing one of my old teachers for some reason or the more popular event is me being late for a class or trying to figure out which class I actually have at a specific period. Its weird because on more than one occasion I have been going to a class but feeling like I haven't been to in ages and then I freak out because I haven't done any homework and thats usually when I wake up.
However, this past night's scenario was strange. I had gone back and I know part of it revolved around me wandering to and from the cafeteria and the teacher in the cafe not really caring but eventually I remember being with another student, though I can't remember who, and talking with our English teacher who we'll just refer to as Mr. K. So we are talking and as we talk I realize we are presenting papers in English class today and I haven't done mine so I panic and hope I don't have to do mine in class today. I know this is silly but read on.
As we get to class, instead of presenting the paper he collects them and I have none to show for it which was the case a couple times in my actual history in Mr. K's class. He shoots me one of his usual looks of disappointment and I go home to work on it. And here's where it got even weirder before I woke up. Basically, one of the other parts of these dreams as of late is that it will also be tied in with my college experiences, i.e. I'll see friends from college as students at my high school or something similar. So this dream ends with me in my room at home emptying out my bookbag of the books I need to do a report on and there are 6 plays that come out of the bag. Where this ties into college is that I had a theater lit teacher my senior year who we'll call Fr. Jackass and who acted the same in class as Mr. K. He would refer to students by their last name, i.e. he called me Mr. Massi and mispronounced my last name the same way Mr. K did. Also he would humiliate and berate students in class in the same kind of way but even harsher than Mr. K. Weird! I think it was joining the teachers together as one but giving it the face of my high school teacher because of the setting.
At this point I woke up confused. These dreams bug me because they keep coming and coming and I still don't understand what my brain is trying to tell me in them.
Any thoughts?
