School Terrors (14)

Not too long ago, I had this dream/nightmare that I only got one question right on my most recent Chemistry exam, which resulted in my grade being a 5 for that specific test.  When I woke up, I obviously had a huge problem with this dream (nightmare?).  Before I had learned anything about dreams, I wouldn't have known why I had that particular nightmare, but now I do.  I think that that dream occurred during my REM sleep because those are the brain's way to try and move into the future for experience.  So in other words, my brain was trying to prepare me for a failing grade on my Chemistry exam.  This is funny to me, because I thought I actually did very poorly on the test, which means my brain legitimately tried to prepare me for what I thought was already going to happen.  Of course, I didn't really think I was going to score a 5 on my test, but I still didn't expect an outstanding grade!  As it turns out, I found out the grade I actually made today, and thankfully I did decently on it!  So all of my stress and terrible dreams happened for no real reason!

  1. I'm proud of you for working through all the logic of what your dream might mean. I'm doubly proud of you for doing well on a Chem test. :)
