When I get really stressed, I have dreams that reflect it. Usually I dream that a tornado is coming, but I never actually get to the part where the tornado hits. Another common one is the fish dream, where my fish has somehow fallen out of his tank and I'm trying to save him before he dies.
Last night I went to bed stressing about this Powerpoint I'm doing with my learning team. I was supposed to have my part done yesterday, but there just wasn't time because I had a dinner party to go to last night. The topic of the Powerpoint is a 30 minute professional development about standards-based instruction, so the idea is that we can actually use this at our jobs. I dreamed that I was about to present this at a staff meeting, and I realized I hadn't even started researching it. So I got up to present and had no idea what I was talking about, and my principal was grading me and writing all kinds of bad comments. In the middle of this horrifying experience, the secretary came in to tell me I had a phone call. I rushed out of the meeting, so glad to get out of there. The phone call was from the president of the Twinkies corporation, offering me a job. I took it and left immediately.
When I woke up this morning, I did the Powerpoint right away. I don't need to be having any more of these awful dreams.
