Those Awesome Anxiety Dreams...
I'm an anxious person. I get anxiety dreams, frequently. There's the "missed all semester of class, finals are in an hour" type, the "gotta pee, all the bathrooms are some kind of Echeresque nightmare of public humiliation" ones, and since I started working on boats I got a new one:
We're pulling in to the harbor, which is packed with boats, the fairway is like 5 ft wide and I have no clue where our slip is. I'm getting ready to tie up, I've got the line in my hand, but the cleat is nowhere to be seen. So I'm running around this catwalk-filled industrial monstrosity searching for the cleat while the captain yells at me. Sometimes it's on the roof of the wheelhouse, sometimes it's inside a maze of bulkheads, sometimes I can't find it.
Preferable to the school dreams though, at least they're relevant. Feels a little silly to be dreaming about high school when I'm in my 30s.
