I wish these dreams would stop. I had another dream where I STILL HADN'T COMPLETED MY GRADUATE DEGREE. Make it stop. I was looking at course schedules and I still had all these courses to take, courses like math and science and things that are actually more like requirements for a Baccalaureate. (Only 3 credits or one course of an "outside" credit, and 6 credits or 2 courses of Art History were required for my MFA at the UW). I was thinking that since I already had completed a good deal of studio time for many semesters in a row that is required, I could ease off and take my required courses gradually. It's odd, because Stan already has his Masters in these dreams, whereas I'm the one waiting to finish up. IRL Stan got his after I got mine (only 3 years later though) and we shared one year together (which was the best year there for both of us). Anyway, there was some announcement on the news that the campus was closed off and not allowing any people on it, but I tried to go anyway because I had to get things done. I was walking toward it, but it morphed more into CSU, and I was approaching it more from the direction as if I was still living on Peterson, trying to cross the Oval. There were barricades and couldn't get to my destination, which was somewhere around the Clark building or Student Center or beyond. I walk further south, near Pitkin (this totally is CSU and not the UW), and am able to maneuver around and head toward my destination. There is snow on the ground and it is cold (which it usually is in these dreams). I also remember being in an art studio and there is a lecherous professor there who is wearing an extremely short diaphanous skirt. He is trying to seduce a male student. The male student says he has to go, and the prof says "great, why don't we continue this discussion at your place?" He was a gross old thing, short, with a big fat body like some failed drag queen in a comedy. I also remember walking around the art building (this was clearly the 6th or 7th floor of the Inhumanities building at the UW, not the more fun CSU art building which also reappears in my dreams as well) trying to get into lockers to get my art supplies. These lockers were full-height, like lockers in Jr or Sr High School, not the stubby lockers for art supplies only that they have in college. I couldn't remember the combination. I hate it when that happens. You go through every possible locker combination you can remember and nothing works, and the only thing that will save you is waking up from the blasted dream.

You really need that locker combination if you are ever going to get through this imagery and on to the next level, or wherever dreams go from art school. I think I can help - perhaps you should use these combinations on the lock.
8, 16, 42 or
4, 15 23
LOL! You know, I think the number "15" really was one of the numbers...seriously.
I wonder if they've had locker combinations in LOST...if so, I probably wasn't paying attention to what the combo was. I'll have to notice next time we go through the first & second season again.
These damn reoccurring dreams are similar to Desmond's flashbacks/forwards. Each time they're a little different, but it's always the same theme...
"I'm sorry 'cause no matter what I try to do, you're not gonna graduate, Ann."
Maybe I keep having this reocurring dreame thee because the University needs to Course-correct itself.
Heh heh.
Uh...what did I mean to say up there? dreame thee? Some weird typo...Sometimes my cursor jumps around and deletes text. Weird I didn't catch it. I think I meant "dream theme"
Dream Thesis - Perhaps
So funny! I have dreams where I am in school a lot, too. Usually I am signed up for a class and I forgot to go all semester, and suddenly I need to attend class, and get caught up, but I get lost, don't remember anything, or get distracted. I really hate these damn things.
Maybe when we dream like this our subconscious is telling us we need to move forward?
i sympathize!
I have the exact dream, Dawn, when I've signed up for a class and haven't gone all sememster and it's time to take a midterm or a final. Or I haven't gone, and I'm hoping if I continue not going they'll just drop me from the course, as opposed to giving me an F. IRL when I took a course I didn't want to continue taking, I dropped it (officially) like a hot potato. I didn't linger...I would never do that! So I wonder why I have these dreams!?
Oh, that is just awful! I drop classes right away too (I am still in school, but I attend online!) and I never have dreams about Devry! So so so weird!
I would like to know the meanings of school dreams too. They are evil!
