In which I get my period, am attacked, take a test I didn't study for, and forget my pants

I was so intrigued by the dream poll that I decided to try to remember my dreams more. I had a nice long one last night, full of sexual and work-related symbolism. I think. Would you care to help me interpret it?

I thought I'd done pretty well-- I'd disarmed the "killer," hadn't I? I endorse your dream-logic

Next time I have a crazy dream (that I remember!), I'm totally telling it to you for interpretation.

Also, Rachel, I totally think you're a hero. Go you.

Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense.

Upon reflection, another interesting thing is that in the dream, I was convinced that I was right -- that jumping the gunman had been the right thing to do, that bleeding in class shouldn't disqualify me -- and I think maybe that's the key element: not just that people don't appreciate me, but that, in jobs and relationships, they're ignoring me in favor of inferior parties because they don't actually want excellence.

...I think I am annoyed with my employers. And with men who don't want to date me.

I think perhaps with good reason!
