no camera and volleyball practice

I get out of the car with my friends. We're heading to a concert. Then suddenly, I realize I don't have my camera on me! I have no way of taking pictures!! I start freaking out in my head but act calm with my friends. I tell them that I forgot my camera. It's too late to go back. One of my friends has one and tells me she'll let me upload the pictures to my computer.

We're walking down the center of a path with everyone facing us. This is the path where the concert is going to go through. It's kind of like Disneyland where people are sitting on the side of Main Street before the parade goes through.

We sit down on the aisles and wait for the concert to come through the path.


Suddenly, I'm at my high school gym at a volleyball practice.

All of my old teammates are there and some new people I've never seen before. We're doing a drill and it's been a while since I've done this. The coach blows the whistle and I fall on my behind. He looks at me with a look of resentment. I can tell he's disappointed that I'm a veteran and fell on my butt doing the drill. I feel so embarrassed in front of the new people.

I get to the end of the line to do the drill again. I see a table with yummy pieces of cake for us. I'm really hungry and so is my friend so we split one. They're delicious! I take a bite out of mine and I'm already the next person in the drill. The coach blows the whistle and someone else messed up. We have to start all over again.

And then... I wake up.

unprepared

I'm at the mall with some of my friends from my PhD cohort. When I look in my bag pack, something triggers in me that makes me realize I have to do a presentation.

Lia and I have to do a 50 minute lecture on something and I'm completely unprepared. We enter a store and it turns into a classroom. My entire cohort is sitting down and Lia and I are at the front.

I didn't read the chapter I was supposed to present on, I didn't make a Powerpoint presentation, and I don't have any notes on me. I'm stressing out and getting worried. I see that Lia has her notes in her hands. I whisper to her that I haven't read or done anything! She tells me she has 2 slides on her powerpoint so we could go off that. I look over at my professor and she patiently waits for us to start.

I have to present for 25 minutes and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be talking about. I ask a very broad question to the class to start discussion. Maybe they'll just have to all talk for a long time to make my 25 minutes. Some people start talking, then I realize I have to start lecturing. I don't know what to make up.

And then... I wake up.
