When do we start tunneling?
In this wretched dream I’m still in high school even though I’m over 65 years old.
In this dream no one ever finishes high school. They just keep tacking days onto it. And it’s always the tail-end of June, the year does not advance; but my classmates and I get older and older.
I have a similar dream about college.
It gives one pause. It seems like they are trying to do that. Unending requirements for higher degrees, etc. Meanwhile, the lackeys dong actual work are treated like fertilizer.
Your reality is how I see the future. The future IS a nightmare, by definition no matter what normal person is having it. Thinking about your dream, however, and the fact that you have another nightmare just like it about college, it seems to mean that there’s no end to what there is to learn and maybe no time to learn it all and even maybe it makes no difference anyway. Of course, i’m probably wrong and am just describing what your nightmare would mean to me if it were mine.
It’s funny. I sometimes enjoyed high school and college, but my grade school was a hell-hole. You’d think I’d have nightmares about grade school. But I don’t.
You probably didn’t study in grade school but did well in college because you did study. I never studied in grade school but did very well. The first year of college was a “hell-hole” because I had to learn how to study on top of what I had to study – lol. I flunked algebra twice as a freshman, but pulled 3.5 – 4.0 by the time I graduated. Anyway, we could analyze why you didn’t have nightmares about grade school…if you’re up for it. But in case you’re not – lol – here’s my theory. You hadn’t yet learned enough to see how much more there is so there was no reason for it to feel like you’d be in school forever, until of course, college when it did feel like forever – lol – because it wasn’t all relevant and you were waiting for something important to be taught, or learned.
