Aaaaargg, anxiety dreams!!!!

**sorry for lack of postings - as mentioned in the last post, I have a lot of growing to do on my blogging schedule, there's a reason I don't do this professionally**

**this post is mostly my random thoughts, please take it at face value 

Late last year I signed up for a whole semester of classes. I was excited, the classes were fascinating, and then I realized that it was almost finals, and I hadn't been to a single class and didn't know what was going to be on any of the tests. Then I woke up.

I graduated in 2012.

So why did I still have a dream about something that hadn't applied to me for over 2 years? And why did I have a nightmare about something as unlikely as signing up for a full semester, attending no classes, and not being dropped from any of those classes before finals? I'm not a psychologist, I don't know the answer (I don't know that a psychologist would know the answer either mind), but I thought these were fascinating questions nonetheless. 

I know I can get anxious about grades, and that certainly wasn't the first time I've had a similar dream (I had it at least once a semester in college), so my first thought is that I was stressed at the time, and school was something my mind already knew how to stress about very, very well. I was going through a few stressful things at the time (my then roommate and semi-adopted aunt was moving across the country, I was looking for a new roommate, and my schedule had been switched again from 1st shift to 2nd, nothing too dramatic) but it wasn't the same stress as finding out my dad had cancer, or getting kicked out of the place I'd lived, so maybe it was enough stress that my mind wanted something to freak out about, but didn't have any one thing big enough to do so over out of the current events? No idea
