Nightmare Contains Every Classic Element
...except public speaking. But with BONUS!HELLSTORM!!!
I had for some reason gone back to high school to finish taking "that science class." This is one of my most frequent recurring dreams. Remember that I have advanced degrees!! but apparently I am most worried about completing the requirements for my high school diploma.
I never went to class (as is always the case in the nightmare) and then THE BIG TEST was coming up. I didn't know what time the class was or whether the test was Monday or Wednesday.
I realized I was running horribly late. Then I noticed that the bus never came and everybody was walking to school (I lived 8 miles out of
town!)
Then when I was finally ready I realized I was STILL IN MY BATHROBE!
So then I tried to change and MY INLAWS SHOWED UP and passive-aggressively tried to get me to school while asking me for cups of tea
and talking to me about lots of things and introducing me to their quack doctor who tried to give me a pill for my STOMACH ACHE (but secretly I was thinking that my stomach ache was a good excuse to stay home). I did not want to take the nasty pill.
I finally made it out of the house, and ended up in a SOMALI MARKETPLACE full of women playing pool and drinking tiny cups of
mysterious brown stuff. In my dream it was "qat." I had to squeeze between tightly packed tables and the women eyed me suspiciously. Almost everyone in my dream were women.
I made it to the beltway only to encounter a woman who was attempting to mockup her Sahara racing trial and talking about the Kalahari
looming in the distance. (The Kalahari were a mountain range instead of a desert). Then the woman was loading her racecar with turbo fuel while nearby there were two girls on mopeds recycling retreads that they gathered from the edge of the road, and it was a disturbing commentary on CONSPICUOUS WASTE VS. CONSERVATION.
Then there was a HELLSTORM. with bits of gravel falling from the sky and flames all around. That we had to drive through on the beltway. DC area folks, has this happened to you? :)
Then I finally made it home again and had to fight my way back into the house through a CAT DOOR that became a CONSTANTLY NARROWING TUNNEL.
and then i was like, "what about the BIG SCIENCE TEST?!?!?!?"
all true.
In real life though, is anyone else freaked out that once again, a fillup at the gas station is like $12? Has the world gone mad? not that I'm complaining but what the heck??
