I feel empathy for Spike

[Skanky Vamp]

I always laughed about his 'I'm drowning in footwear' nightmare. But I dreamt I was literally drowning in work. I was trapped in a little office and it was filling up with work. Nothing could stop it. It was going to drown me. I woke up in a panic.

Poor Spike. I dont think I will ever find humor in that moment again. Have you ever had nightmares about literally being overwhelmed by work/school?

I have a recurring dream of either being an utterly incompetent server, and tables keep coming and I keep falling further and further behind, or I am in a class as a student and I keep falling further and further behind in my readings and homework. Everyone else in these dreams usually hates me or has no respect for me.

But I have always been comfortable as a terrific student and server, so I can't really explain where this deep fear comes from, or what need I have for it. I do hate it though. It makes me feel powerless.

I have dreams where I'm trying to take the register (I'm a teacher) only I can't read the names and so it's going on forever and the class are completely out of control and I can;t get them to settle down - and there's always some other teacher stood in the room, watching - judging, but not helping. I usually have those at the start of the summer holidays - which is weird, you'd think they'd happen towards the end of the holiday, when I'm preparing to go back - but, no - a week or two in and they stop.
I've also recently started having dreams that I'm taking my A levels and these are a weird mixture of just starting the classes, thinking I'm on top of the work and then realising out of the blue that there's a whole other class that has a massive amount of reading/ coursework due in very soon and I haven't started it. Also - I'm back at my school, with the people I went to school with, but in the dreams I know I'm in my 30s (as are they) and that we all already have A levels - we've just come back for a second crack. Very strange.

I dream of weeds when I have done too much weeding. Usually a sign I need to give it a break.
