I dreamt last night that I was back in college. Instead of majoring in Liberal Arts, I decided to do something else for the first 2 years to help me figure out what to focus on...
I sat in my boxers in a big, red, plastic tub full of water and slid around campus in it. Just slid all over the place. Everyone thought I was so cool because nobody else was doing it.
Then I went into a park and started a conversation with another student. He asked "Are those scorpions?" Turns out we were both covered in tiny brown scorpions. I screamed and screamed and woke up drenched in sweat.
So just like that, I go from the coolest guy on campus to being covered in stinging scorpions.

Despite the apparent complexity and bizarre nature of your dream, Pat, it's a relatively easy one to unravel. Your zodiacal sign is Scorpio....hence the scorpions. Scorpio is a water sign....hence the tub full of water. Scorpio's traditional ruling planet is Mars -- the Red Planet....hence the color of the tub. The body part with which Scorpio is associated is the genitals....hence the boxers.
Couple those irrefutable connections with the fact that the previous night's horoscope for Scorpio predicted that "Your status as Big Man on Campus cannot shield you from scorpion attacks," and it becomes obvious that you should give up all dreams of returning to college for that doctorate in balloon sculpturing.
I went through all that....and then realized I had mistakenly thought that Pat had posted that dream.
Well, as a fellow Scorpio, it confirms my horoscope that "You will mistake Dave for Pat and make a complete cyber-jackass of yourself."
Scorpio's horoscopes have really been dead-on lately...
That's okay. I had a dream about Scorpions too. But the Scorpions of "Rock You Like A Hurricane" fame. Obviously it was a nightmare.
That song would have worked much better had The Scorpions specified what strength hurricane they meant.
Let's face it -- Category 3 or above, you're too busy dodging debris to rock anybody.
Here I am
Rock you like a Category 2 Hurricane...
That makes a lot more sense to me...
Most of my dreams about college go like this: It is the end of the semester and I just discover I had registered for a class that I didn't attend the entire semester. Now I have to take the FINAL! So I freak out.
There is a High School version where I have to go back to complete something I never took or everything that came after that will be nullified: My college degree, and all the money I've made at my job has to go back. In this dream Harry Kalas is sometimes announcing for the HS baseball team.
i have dreams like that. mostly about highschool where i've completely forgotten to attend a class for months.
i wonder if anyone has actually done this in real life?
I too occasionally dream of missing class for the entire school year and showing up totally unprepared for the final exam or without the final paper.
Freud asserted that such dreams indicate latent fear of wasting one's life, although Jung contended, "It's pronounced Yoong, not juhng, you idiot!"
