Remember these golden oldies from a student's nightmare playlist?
I haven't done my homework!
I didn't study all year!
I didn't read the textbook and today's the exam!
I don't remember how to get to school!
I forgot to bring my books!
For the past month, Monday nights have brought interrupted sleep, insomnia, or nightmares.
When I wake I realize that I'm anxious about Tuesday mornings, for a good reason which has now been resolved. I hope.
Last night's nightmare was unique and funny--in retrospect. I was told, "You have to have the Passover seder for the entire family. Tonight!" Of course, I hadn't done the shopping, cleaning, or cooking for this. It came as a complete surprise.
So I madly scurried around in a shopping frenzy. I sent flowers to my maternal grandparents. In the dream, I couldn't remember who was still alive and who wasn't. Just which relatives did I need to include? The invitation list and the to-do list grew longer and longer and time was running out...
When I woke I remembered that this was July, not April, so it wasn't Passover after all. I had to laugh.
Only a Jewish woman would ever have such a dream.
