Dream

Posted on June 15, 2003 in Dreams

A variation on a dream that I keep having.

I’m in school and I’m flunking out because I haven’t been attending classes. My mother and I are arguing about something. She says that in a few weeks I will be graduating but what will I do then? I think about all the courses that I am flunking because I don’t want to sit through the day listening to them. I hop the fence into a chaparral congested field to get away when the classes turn boring.

The registrar appears next to me with the list of courses that I am failing. I, a grown man, turn to her and say “Enough! I graduated from high school more than 25 years ago. You cannot make me do this again.”
