Here are a couple of my recurring dreams:
[b]The Giant Bookstore[/b] – I’m wandering around a huge bookstore (sometimes it’s a library, comic book shop, antique store, etc) that usually has different levels; not just different floors, but different raised areas on the same floor. The place is just filled floor to ceiling with books and maps and scrolls. As I meander through the aisles (and levels), I come across some book or scroll that seems to be particularly important to me and I find myself getting very excited about the find. By the end of the dream, I am carrying around armfuls of stuff as I make my way to the checkout. The funny thing is that I’ve never actually walked out of one of these places so I don’t know where they are located. I always wake up before that happens and I can never remember the details of what items I found.
[b]The French Test[/b] – I’m back in high school, or it might be some college…I can’t really tell and it doesn’t always seem familiar. I’m rushing to French class and I have no more knowledge of the passé composé than I do right now. Either unable to get into my locker or just plain not having a locker and not having studied, I am completely unprepared for this test. No books, no pen…nothing. I get to class and sit down while everyone is looking at me like I have two heads. As the tests are handed out, I begin to panic but then the dream ends here.
I have no idea what these mean, if anything. I’m sure they have something to do with my feelings of inadequacy or my internal quest for knowledge or something….
