exam dreams

My subconscious mostly has behaved since I explicitly requested a cessation of exam dreams.

Who knew you could lecture your Id?

Last night, however, I dreamed that the EU asked me to resolve their nagging constitutional issues in three hours. I was allowed a one-page cheat sheet. Tony Blair was supposed to be the proctor, but Joschka Fischer swapped with him at the last minute. Very agreeable man in my dreams, but a stickler with the timer.

Using theories of consideration and unjust enrichment, I argued that the EU should adopt Chinese as its official language to prevent unjust enrichment of the UK and thereby allowing Poland the bargaining power it seeks. It seemed very logical at the time.

I'm going to be so glad when this week is over.

Oh, I LOVE this. Our subconsciouses (is that a word?) can be so entertaining. Your dream is so much more logical than most of mine!

The night before my first law school exam (Crim) I had one of the scariest nightmares I've ever had: a guy with a huge butcher knife was chasing me through my parents' house, and finally trapped me in a bathroom. I called 911, but the woman said that if he hadn't actually hurt me yet, there was nothing they could do. After more chasing, I remembered what I had learned in Crim Law: attempt. I called the 911 lady back and told her, and she said, oh yeah, you're right, we're on our way.

Cripes. This entry doesn't make sense at'all to me. (I'll be glad when this week is over for you, too. Then again, you're pretty amusing when you're stressing.)

Jstrizzy, that sounds like an awful nightmare. Ugh. Clever you for finding your way out of it, though.

Andrea, justcherie, I'm not sure it makes sense, but it sure did at the time! :)
