It's the last day of school. I'm back in community college and the professor has assigned for the class to take a booklet, a short story, and make another booklet out of it, something illustrated and different. (this particular instructor was notorious at assigning things at the last minute).

I made headlines for each page with a story sum, but the booklet I have has many pages in back full of math equations and geometric shapes. I have no room and have run out of ideas. Someone suggests putting some math equations into my story and I protest "I dont' understand this, I don't remember how to do any of this!"

I ask the teacher, who was also the instructor I had when I actually went to college, if I can have a continuance on this to finish it. If not, can I pass it in as is.

She replies "If you pass it in now, you will get an Incomplete."

I sigh in frustration before waking up.

Are you feeling like you're running out of space, time and ideas in waking life?

It's more like running out of options. I have a severe arthritic leg and I don't have enough college credits for most of the job postings in the schools. I also have only 2 more paychecks left from my previous job before the school season starts. So I'm also out of cash at this point. Then it's back to unemployment.

I think the dream also reflects my tendency for self-doubt about my abilities of what I can do. The math equations part of the dream fits this.
