My dreams are all about touch and feel. But I don’t think I should talk about them here.
A bit touchy eh?
Feels that way.
Same here…the “tickling” one being the exception.

Yes! I still get those, or a similar one where I remember that I have a huge paper due the next day and I haven’t even started it.
These are often the closest I get to a lucid dream-- after fretting a bit about the class I missed, or the paper I didn’t write, I usually say to myself “Wait, this is a dream. I don’t have to do that” and I just wake myself up.
It’s funny how specific that one can get. I have a friend who is a classical music major, and he’s said he’ll often have a dream where he’ll show up for the final dress rehearsal for the opera only to realize he learned the wrong aria!

I have had this college dream several times. I’m an old man attending classes, so it doesn’t really matter whether I graduate or not. I decide not to hand in any of the assigned papers, yet I still attend the daily classes, because that is what I have always done. Obviously, I am in the classes because I like being there and don’t have a good alternate plan outside the college environment.
Sometimes I dream that I’m in trouble for something, and then I wake up and realize, “Ha! I’m not in trouble after all!” Although sometimes I’m awake for 10 or 15 seconds before I realize it was a dream.
Something that I’ve noticed with waking up during a dream, is that I’m always disoriented right when I wake up in the middle of a dream. I don’t mean as in when I wake myself up, but when I’m woken up, like by my alarm clock.
Such as a few days ago, when my alarm clock woke me up during a dream. For the first 2 or 3 seconds upon waking up I couldn’t even see, and then I was so disoriented that for another few seconds I couldn’t even tell where my alarm clock was, or where I was in the room.
It’s funny how certain parts of certain dreams stick with you, and others you forget 10 minutes after waking up. I still remember part of a dream I had when I was less than 10 years old, but I don’t remember anything from that dream in the above story.
My particular version of the college dream is that there was a error in counting my credit hours and now my degree is invalid until I take another class. I have lost my schedule of courses notecard and can’t seem to find the registrar’s office to get a duplicate card. And then I find out that the course that I need is some super duper high level accounting class (my degree was in business with a focus in accounting) and there is no way that I’m going to pass that class because the final exam has already started. Sometimes in this dream, I’m in my underwear. This dream could get worse but I don’t want it to.
I would imagine that there would be no way to pass an accounting final in your underwear.
The points off for no tie should be enough.
When I took my professional accounting exams, I bought a load of the brightest Ocean Pacific tee-shirts I could find. I was hoping to dazzle my fellow examinees. ![]()
… oh, and I also bought the loudest, clackiest calculator I could find - I tested them in the shop first - asked for graph paper in the law exam, and, in every exam, made a point of asking for extra paper no more than half an hour after the start of the exam.
heh heh
… don’t remember having any bad exam dreams though …
I’ll bet your poor fellow examinees had 'em.
I belong to a rather large group of field biologists who only wear Hawaiian print shirts, we take comfort in knowing we give a number of people bad dreams, headaches…or both.
My wife and I have figured out a fool-proof interpretation of the dreams which we get early in the morning; the especially weird ones which make no sense read in either direction: It Is Time To Get Up! ![]()
