#dream problem

In my experience, most dreams serve up a combination of “good news/bad news”…

Consider this recent dream…

I’m driving up an incline that’s nearly vertical.

Two red warning lights flash on the dashboard.  One indicates the battery is weak.

So says a recent dream…

In the dream:

I’m preparing to move.  At my new apartment building, I won’t actually have a room—just a bed in an open hallway.

So, I’m having second thoughts.  However, I’ve already put down a deposit.  And that’s not my only expenditure—I’ve also paid for a community college course.  But do I really need that class?

We’re milling about a large convention hall.  A woman sets up a dinner buffet.
