Disturbing Dream
I had a rather disturbing dream last night:
The dream started out seeming pretty “normal,” with me working diligently in a classroom of other students. Apparently, my online Tech Writing class had chosen to meet in person, and we were sitting at the tables, writing papers for the prof. When we’d all completed the last task the prof had given us, she went to the front of the room to explain our next assignment. Vials and axes were being passed around to each of us, and the prof announced we were to each ingest the liquid in the vial handed to us, then take our axes and chop off our own heads. Supposedly, the liquid could prevent us from dieing, but there was no guarantee. I just kinda stood there gawking in astonishment as my classmates all around me did exactly as she’d instructed. After glancing over the freshly decapitated bodies standing around me with their heads lolling in their arms or on the floor, I walked immediately up to the prof. Handing her my axe, I declared, "Sorry, but this course and grade just are not worth this much to me," and promptly left the room.
Then, I woke up, slightly bewildered at the dream, but feeling all bright-eyed and cheery.
How’s that for a fresh start to a day!?!
