Anxiety Dreaming

Since Jenn's been sharing weird dreams, I thought I'd join the fray.

I've been feeling really weird all day. Tense. So I decided to take a nap this afternoon figuring I was just exhausted from staying up till 2 with Lisette (who was in Oregon for a wedding this weekend) and then getting up at 6:30 for my clinicals. So, I lay down and fall asleep and then dream that I'm AT my clinical with a particular professor and my whole grade is based on me properly collecting a throat swab for culture. Of course lab techs wouldn't do generally that, but hey, it's a dream. I've never seen one done (except on myself I guess) and couldn't remember how to keep it from getting contaminated, and had to make sure the patient didn't gag. I was super tense in the dream and started arguing with my prof about it when I woke up. I was still so angry at her I had to talk myself down and remind myself it was just a dream. So much for relaxing. Then, of course, driving to meet my hubby for dinner I hit every single red light possible (with the exception of one), construction, and rush hour traffic....

So that's been my glorious day. With the exception of the first two hours in it (12:00-2:00am), it pretty much has sucked.
