Had that "late for a test I didn't study for, for a class I'm sure I didn't actually attend" dream

[conuly]

I don't know about other people, but when I have that dream there's always the charming additional feature that I'm very lost.

Weird thing though - this time I wasn't in any school I've ever actually attended, or a plausible copy thereof, I was very clearly and definitely in Hogwarts.

When I have a dream I like to sit through in the morning and figure out what details came from what things the day before, but this time I've got nothing. Why would I dream I was about to fail a test at Hogwarts? What the heck even prompted that little twist?

Yep yep yep... even if I am in a school I really went to, it's sort of all skewiff and I can't find my way around :(

Then there's the lovely variation where I am at work (still skewiff) and can't remember how to make the computers work...

I'm enjoying your link collections-- sometimes I pick up a link for Facebook. Do you want credit, and if so, in what form?

[conuly]

You know, I always *say* I don't care, but actually it kinda bugs me if other people get credit and I don't. But I don't generally remember to credit other people, so no, it's okay.

[nancylebov]

So your link collections can be a secret source for me.

[conuly]

Sure, have fun.

Though if you want to know *my* secret sources, you'll pry them outta my cold, dead hands.

Or you could just ask nicely, that also works.

Yeah, when I have that dream, I almost always can't find the exam room. So I get past (not attending/studying) and present (lost) failures heaped together for the convenience of extra anxiety.

[pauamma]

I wouldn't know, because for some reason I'm more an observer than an actor of my dreams.

[adafrog]

Weird.
