In bed last night, I tossed and turned. I remember clearly what I saw. My planner for today and what I had to teach my small math groups, online.
Interestingly, from what I remember, I may already have been teaching as I had students asking me clarifying questions. I am sure I drifted in and out of my supposed deep sleep because I kept convincing myself to wake up and write it all down, otherwise I’d forget what was going on. I wish I had because I seem to have been actually drafting my slice in my sleep. It sounded like poetry as there was some repetition and short lines, I felt it sounded really good but like a whiff of smoke, it drifted away. This does not happen to me often, but I am glad I remember parts of it.
My lessons today are going quite well, but I remember my dream or thoughts at night and wonder why I took those thoughts to bed with me. Could I have been excited or anxious? We have introduced a new schedule so could that have been the reason?
I really should have woken up and written what I was thinking down. It would have been much clearer and recorded my train of thought. Perhaps that would have helped explain this dream.
It’s so curious and frustrating to have dreams like that, isn’t it? –Where you had such great ideas that if only you could remember….. I particularly liked this line: “like a whiff of smoke, it drifted away” –it’s so true–it’s gradual, and you can sort of feel it going.

When I have school dreams, especially the regular ones, I have learned to take that as my own sign that I am overly stressed and anxious.
And…yes. How many times have any of us wanted to go back to a dream because there was something important, something GOOD we were working on?
