Academics have funny nightmares

Sunday morning my husband told me that he'd had a horrible nightmare the previous night.

He dreamed that he had a paper to present at a conference, but that he never made it there and that his time slot went empty. It was for a weird reason too...

A former college roommate of his that we hadn't seen since 1992, but whom we recently met at a party, had come to visit, and K had to spend time with him. K also had to let him know that we were going to have guests, so the guy couldn't stay at our house for a week as he intended too.

The missed conference presentation dream was very vivid and pretty disturbing to K, so he had to share it with me in the morning.

I have had these kinds of nightmares before as well... Particularly those hat have to do with not being ready to teach a class or not getting there on time. These things that we academics worry about...

(mostly written on Sunday, could have been way better, but I'll "publish" anyway)
