Last night I had a dream where I was finally getting a final paper back from the teacher. I was convinced that I would get a good grade, so at first I didn't look through the paper. The front page had no markings, though. As the dream went on, markings came and went as I examined the paper more thoroughly. Finally, though, I was appalled to look through the pages and see red lines striking through more than half of my work, sometimes whole pages, and that which wasn't struck through with 'check facts' notes were heavily marked with punctuation and grammar edits.

I was shocked and appalled. And then really angry. I read through the paper again and knew that I could prove that most of what I wrote was correct. I would get a retraction, even if I had to fight for it.

Of course I woke up before I could prove myself to the teacher.

Well, if that's not symbolic, I don't know what is!

I know, I just don't know what for... Yet. There were a lot of other elements to the dream, of course, but I just thought it was funny that I would wake up in distress because I had seemingly failed a paper! Hee.

Whereas your teachers have nightmares about students complaining about their grades and proving that everything the teacher wrote was completely and utterly wrong. Does it help to know it goes both ways?

Well, considering I'm not in any classes at the moment, I just think it's hilarious I'm dreaming about classes and teachers and failing at all. :-)

(And the grading was most definitely personal. Part of what bothered me so much was finding out that the friendly teacher had a grudge against me.)

Last night I dreamt I was getting married. My fiancee took our savings (which we were going to spend on a house, we'd decided to elope in order to save money) and lost it all in Vegas.

Make that fiance. He was male.
