School Nightmares
Does it seem like there’s something horrible about an educational system where graduates have nightmares about it decades after the experience has ended, and even if it ended well. What does it really say about us and our system?
Along the same lines, why in the world do our subconscious minds periodically decide to stress us out while we’re trying to catch a nice batch of shuteye? Why do we pull these dirty tricks on ourselves? Is it punishment for starchy, spicy foods too close to bedtime, or something a little more disturbing?
Personally, I love it when a dream gives itself away. I kind of like when I say “wait, this is silly, this has to be a badly-composed dream” and I wake up feeling smug. Silly subconscious, that whole surreal thing is a fine line to walk. It takes artistry.
