Dreaming

I just read this book, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, and in it she states that no one ever wants to hear your dreams unless they are in them, and while that might be true, here goes anyway...

I had this bizarre dream last night where I was in a class and apparently I had a group presentation due that day but had no idea until the prof called off the names of the students who were supposed to be presenting that day. I heard my name and was like "What?!" The group itself - which consisted of an unbelieveable 12 people, at least - had all met and organized the entire thing without trying to get in touch with me at all. And to top it off, they were mad at me for blowing them off. There was another gal who was in the group but had done nothing too and we both were just shocked. We had missed the assignment totally. It was very surreal as we stood in the front of the classroom for like 20 minutes while our groupmates pulled out all the posters and index cards and other presentation materials (more than you can imagine) that showed they clearly had done a lot of work while the two of us stood there with nothing to contribute. It was horrible, really scary to be so unprepared.

I woke up convinced that there is some missing assignment that I am forgetting somewhere. But I really don't think there is. So, I wonder what I'm forgetting then. The dream has to mean something, right?

The one really weird thing is that although the prof for the class was one of the IST profs here in my department (although not one I've ever had for a class), the presentation was all about health foods.
