Wow! I'll have what you're having. My standard dream is being late for an exam and showing up in my underwear.

Hi, penni. "To sleep or not to sleep." Yawn. Back in an hour. btw, we need to find Dr Xunk and have her take our hands and lead us through the tornado fields to understanding. Because your dream has me curious and mystified. And subsequently sleepy, when I can't figure it out. Trigonometry had me somatose. Add a warm-afternoon "classroom"; about this time of year. Bright light of the Mesmer Sun, beams. Paper white. The muscle and bones of my neck liquefy. Turn to lightweight lubricant. My head swells, puffs into an iron meteorite. It rolls around nausea ~ now only the pain of snapping as it hits bottom keeps me conscious, a moment, like a pool ball falling in a frying pan. Someone in an old grey smock picks up the pan and rolls it around. I can only hear it now; with my eyes sealed shut and papered over. If I don't fall asleep, I'm going to puke. My mouth is hanging open, but my tongue is an egg sitting in it. Head must be all the way back, like a cigar box with the lid open. Soft, still, suffocating, ...pool of yoke. The prof's going to hit my Adam's-apple with a ruler, I know it. Kids are tying my laces to the desk legs. Must.....move.....head.....forward.....oh, god.....Got-to-put-head- down ~ ~ LOOKOUT FORMICA DESK TOP! You wait, like for a spaceship, for the sound of your forehead splitting open; skin and parts scattering like tropical fish. A real-pigskin-football hitting pavement. You're going to die, either way, it doesn't matter.

< offering a damp towel for your obviously fevered brow > You gotta lay off the rich food before bed, Penni, seriously.

Penni, I just don't know, but that I am a really nice person. I feel compelled to keep doing this research for you knowing what a busy schedule you have and all, but yet feel fulfilled that knowing that your writing time will be expanded and you and all of us will be benefited by the results. All while you are sipping some coffee, waking up to the new day. So here goes. I have this Encyclopedia of Dreams here on my desk. I often refer to it during the trading day looking for signs. I have been pursuing a Jungian investment strategy for several years now, and with some success as evidenced by the time it gives me to post here on this thread, but that is really another topic. In any event, I am looking right here on page 349, and see that tornados represent, and are you ready for this? Probably not, but of all things, tornados represent (the most likely choice) in our sub-conscious - washing machines. There is some anecdotal evidence to also link it to draining the bath, but without a doubt the most common factor in people that dream about tornados is washing machine complex. One possible step to remediating your complex is to simply buy a simpler washing machine. But getting back to your dream, the date that you were obsessing over is undoubtedly related to this complex and is a variant discussed at great length, relating to anticipation anxiety over listening for the buzzer at the end of the dryer cycle. (Jung talks about this linkage between washer and dryer. I don't have an exact citation on that at this point, but I am sure that I could develop one.) One of the conclusions that stands out here would suggest that you are a perfectionist that is shamed at the thought of seeing your family in wrinkled clothes. Following on with the other eidetic images in your dream sequence, I am sure by now that even you can see where they are all headed. As you may have already guessed, the emptying of the pool must represent for you the end of the wash cycle when you would be putting in the fabric softener. I suspect that your diving into save that jacket represents some unresolved conflict that you may be feeling over something like say a bike jacket that you accidentally let fall in the wash, when you were doing a load of lights once. Now this Dream Encyclopedia is by no means comprehensive. But it does offer so many cogent insights, that I heartily recommend your having a copy on your reference desk. Especially so, since you dream so much and also trade stocks. You can just see how valuable a tool it can be in the hands of even the most inexperienced amateur. You could expect to pay hundreds, even thousands to a practicing professional for this type and level of pinpoint interpretation. And you know what? All they would do is lean back in their chair and open the very same edition of this book, and turn to page 349.
