You know, I’ve always had the “forgetting the class” dream. Unlike most people, I actually managed to do it once in real life. Kiss half of that 600 bucks goodbye…in my defense, it was summer semester and I was enjoying the season so much I just flatout forgot to check start dates…probably wasn’t the only person either… ---

I don’t remember at all what the dream was or indeed if there reakky was one but one time my mother just burst into my room while I was sleeping and I literally jumped out of my bed onto my feet while screaming(not a little shriek and all out i’m being stabbed to death scream) the whole time. It was bizarre. ---

During my last weeks at a job that was really stressing me out (two separate bosses who sat next to each other, yet constantly gave conflicting orders and never once acknowledged that the reason I had done something “wrong” was because the person sitting six feet away had told me to do it that way five minutes earlier) I kept having the same dream every single night: The entire office was at a major conference and part of our work required me to do a trivially simple task: just press four colored buttons on a remote control in a specified order. But every time I’d ask someone what the correct order was, I’d look back at the remote and completely forget what I’d been told, or the colors would change to numbers, or some other problem, and I’d have to keep asking like an idiot. I’d keep waking up from these dreams and immediately getting out of bed because I had to go finish my work before the conference deadline. Every time it would be several minutes before I realized it was a dream, I was at home, and the conference was already finished. ---

> [@ExtraKun](#): > > I’m sure there are times when you have dreams that you felt is really real - so real that the first few moments when you woke up, you still wondering if what happened in the dream has indeed happened. Then there are are scary dreams…so any moments when both of those dreams occured together? Well my dream turned scary at about six a.m. last Sunday. 🙂 And you can be sure I woke up PDQ.
