Somewhere in the maelstrom of my dreams and maybe dreams (did my roommate really come home last night, or did I imagine it?) I had another dream about being in school. It was a college level class, I could tell by the students, not the lessons. I hate dreams about school. There are several dream archetypes out there. If you dream about losing your teeth, you are supposed to be worrying about your appearance. Dreams about flying are really dreams about sex (And what are dreams of sex about, I wonder?) I don't know what the symbolism of school dreams are, but I know what my recurring themes are about.

Most of the time, I dream about being in a grade lower than what I am. I'll be going to high school, whereas in the real world I've graduated college. Sometimes I'll get lost in a labyrinth of hallways, other times I'll end up in classes I'm not taking. The most common theme is realizing that I've forgotten about entire courses, and never attended them all year There's worry and fear about getting bad grades, and how can I make them up?
Last night's was a little different. I was jotting down notes, sharing answers and comments with some of my classmates. They laughed, one of them (a random blonde girl) smiled and made lots of eye contact. I packed up my books as the class was letting out and I wondered out loud. "Why am I still taking classes if I've graduated?"

If there was a message to the dream, I think that was it.
