Dreams

I have some pretty bizarro dreams. Take, for example, my dream last night that I still remember quite vividly right now.



I'm in a giant department store (it seemed like a perfect dream to start with) and I'm FRANTICALLY looking for something to wear. (I swear that happens more often than not in my dreams. Maybe I need a new wardrobe.) Apparently I'm suppose to be going to school and if I don't hurry up and get dressed I'm going to be late (another hot topic in my dreams--being late to something). Then I realize that I'll be late for........HIGH SCHOOL! It dawns on me that I've already been through the torture of high school, so I go searching out my mother to ask her a few questions. All the while I am trying on different outfits that look hideous or I can't find shoes to go with them.



I finally locate my mother in the store and ask her what in the world was going on and why did I have to go back to high school?!?! I'm 36 for Pete's Sake!!!!! She makes mention of my graduation. "Do you remember when you graduated and didn't get your diploma? What did I give you instead?" It was like all the pieces to the puzzle were fitting together. I said, "You gave me a jar of pickles." "That's right" she says. "They never gave you your diploma because you never graduated and now you have to go back."

Ok, why didn't I say, "No way am I going back to high school!!!"? Instead I found a black and white dress and searched for a pair of red shoes for a pop of color and tried not to be late. To my credit, I was only going to talk to someone at the school to fix the mixup.


Then I woke up. Any interpretations?
