Have you ever
dreamed that you were back in school, struggling with the lock on your locker,
desperately trying to get it unlocked before anyone else got into the locker
room and saw you without your skirt on?
If I’ve had the dream once I’ve had it a hundred times. I’m walking to school and suddenly realize
that under my coat I am not wearing my skirt; then I panic and run through the
creek, getting soakers of course, and making it into the school. But then I can’t remember my
combination. I try, and try, and try,
and I am sweating and shivering at the same time as I hear footsteps
coming. Panic.
Then the alarm clock wakes me up and I
realize I’m 40 years older and I am safe even if I am not dressed!
I’m not sure why this happens so often
because I don’t feel that I have “unresolved issues” stemming from my school
days. Perhaps it is all about control,
and when I feel that things are going out of control in my life I slip into
this sorry dream? I wonder if anyone has
ever really gone to school without essential clothing? I’ve never heard of it so one has to wonder,
why do so many people have this horrifying dream?
Meanwhile, I am harkening back to some of
the nice times I had in school and remembering some very good friends who are
still with me now. I was a very lucky
person.
