your dreams do your homework
Back in high school, I was in a production of "Oklahoma!". I played Ado Annie. (Somehow, I'm always typecast as the slut... I don't know why that happens. But I digress) The week before the show, I began to rehearse in my sleep. I would go through the entire show in my dreams, often waking myself up singing. I knew everyone's lines, blocking, songs and entrances. I often had to remind "Will" which side of the stage to enter on. This meant that I could dream the entire show.
Since that time, I've had occasions where I work things out in my dreams. I know they say your mind works out problems while you sleep, but my brain doesn't do it in symbols and images; my brain works out problems literally.
Last night, my brain attempted to write two papers for me. It started writing my 18th century Neoclassic paper. Unfortunately, it started comparing it to Medieval literature and mixing it up with my Neoclassic paper. It did write a very good introduction for the Neoclassic paper, though. I had to write it out as soon as I woke up, so I didn't forget it. I felt like Coleridge, dreading the person from Porlock.
Have a happy Sunday!
