Lots of dreams about work

Tweet

It isn't uncommon for teachers to start having nightmares during the last 2 weeks of summer break as we prepare to return to work. Not at all. Mine usually involve a class refusing to sit down, to listen, fights, etc. Those haven't started yet but I have been dreaming about work almost every night this summer break. I guess it is due to a combination of concerns: moving classrooms, finally getting an honors class again, advising the baking club, etc. It seems that the place is always on my mind which really isn't what I want during my vacation! The good news is that they aren't nightmares. They are just dreams about random school events. Some of my most recent favorite students pop up in them and some totally fictional ones are in them too. Even some of the administrators and the school cop have made appearances. It is so strange how the mind works when you are asleep and dreaming.
