Eva’s Byte #360 – That Recurring Dream
I’ve had a few recurring dreams with separate themes over the course of my lifetime. It is assumed most recurring dreams reveal the presence of unresolved conflicts or stress in the dreamer’s life.
About to relate the gist of a recurring dream I had the other night, I’ll rule out an unresolved conflict because I’ve long since completed undergraduate and graduate studies in college, receiving magna cum laude honors for both.
This particular recurring dream revolves around stress which spawned a traumatic experience in 1973:
A week before graduation, the Records Office informed me they had lost my transcript—record of all the academic courses completed during one’s entire college career. Regardless of their negligence, they had no evidence I’d completed the coursework necessary to receive a Bachelor of Science degree. Fortunately, submitting every semester’s report card, saved the day.
My recurring dream is often a combination of blunders related to taking evening and summer courses for my Master’s degree:
I’ve missed several classes because of forgetting about them. I don’t remember where the class is held. I haven’t started my term paper. I can’t find my car in any of the parking lots.
Really?
In my capacity of a writer, I’m nearing the finish line for Chapter 9 of my Contemporary work in progress (1327 words). Similar to conducting research for a term paper, I’m scouting for details about the 1920s with the purpose of adding relevancy to a character’s backstory.
*May our dreams become sources of inspiration rather than distortions of reality.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
