Dream a Little Dream

Flaming June - Frederic, Lord Leighton
 
I keep having a particular recurring theme in my dreams as of late.  It started a couple of months ago - I am trying to finish up one of my educational degrees and I have enrolled in the last few hours of classes that I'm supposed to finish in order to graduate.  I am attending all of my classes and doing what I am supposed to do to study, etc. but have only attended this one class once.  The class that I attended once was taught by comedienne Jane Lynch and the only time I was there, we were reenacting scenes from Glee. 

But ever since then, all my dreams have had a pressing theme that there is something that I must complete or I'm not going to finish.  I had another one of those dreams last night - I was doing something with my family, completely unrelated, and I knew that there was something I was forgetting.  It's at the end of the semester and since I only attended the class once, I knew I was going to fail.  That is the overall theme - I neglected something I had signed up to do and I ignored it and now I am going to fail.  I can't seem to shake that feeling of "uh-oh".

So calling all dream experts - why the heck do I keep dreaming about this pressing thing that I have ignored?  I can think of a couple of reasons, but it shouldn't keep bothering me so much.  I attended a class with Jane Lynch in my dreams - kind of funny when you think about it, but now I am not going to graduate because I didn't complete her class.  By the way, I am not currently enrolled in school nor do I plan on going back any time soon.  I have completed all my educational goals and have the pieces of paper to prove it. 

Here I stand, on the edge of a cliff, ready to take off and something is holding me back.  That is my interpretation, I just have to figure out what that thing is that is holding me back. 

Do you have odd and/or recurring dreams?    Do you pay much mind to your dreams?  What are some of your examples?  I find dreams fascinating because you can fly through a ton of stuff in a matter of minutes and your brain is like, "Whoa!"  It is our body's way of helping you process information that is perceived throughout our days - at least that is my opinion. 

I have a feeling that eventually I'll complete that last credit hour class - somehow.  I just have to will my mind to do so.
