Maxine's Story
Recurring Dreams
Write about my recurring dream: Hmmmmmmmmmmm---a puzzlement! Oh I have a recurring dream, the problem is what could I possible write that would be either interesting or amusing? Do I need to explain---or understand the dream? I think this will be a very short story. It is more like a nightmare really. Not that it is frightening, no just worrisome and frustrating. In this dream I seem to be in high school again and I can't find my locker---or figure out the combination to open it. I've no idea where my classes are located in this huge school---and the subjects are confusing or obscure. It is a very large and crowded school and I am bewildered.
At best a mundane dream. I'm sure there are those who could analyze and find deep meaning and relate it to my life---but I would be suspicious of any attempt to do it.
While I realize the shortcoming of my formal education and have some regret for not having pursued more, at the same time I am quite 'comfortable in my skin' as our pop-culture generation would say. I know who I am and why I am here. I have never been abused, neglected nor molested. I feel loved, secure and content---with more friends than I can keep track of.
Any negative feelings I had in high school were due to the time---1942 to 1946, World War II years. I knew where my locker was and how to open it. I did well in class as long as I avoided math! I liked high school. Any psychological analogy of my dream or sub-conscience would probably just amuse me.
My analysis; It is just a dumb dream.
