Because it’s the day before a long weekend and I am unbelievably bored, here’s the Friday Five<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. What’s the last vivid dream that you remember having?<\/strong>
I have interesting dreams and dreams I remember, years later, but they fade quickly and get so jumbled together it’s hard to remember any one as particularly vivid<\/em>. Last night, I dreamt that my sister had published a book of short stories, and I was vaguely jealous because they were so good. My sister is not a writer.<\/p>\n

2. Do you have any recurring dreams?<\/strong>
Not so much a recurring dream as a recurring type<\/em> of dream. I sometimes dream that I’m at a final exam for a class I haven’t attended in months. This may have something to do with the fact that in my senior in year of college I had a final exam for a class I hadn’t attended in months. I also had a Statistics class where I went into the final having missed the first midterm. I think I still managed a B, but showing up to an exam unprepared is now how anxiety is usually expressed in my dreams. Even some three years after graduating.<\/p>\n

3. What’s the scariest nightmare you’ve ever had?<\/strong>
Again, dreams fade, and what seems terrifying in the middle of the night or in those first few moments after I wake up is usually forgotten before I take my morning shower.<\/p>\n

4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not?<\/strong>
Once or twice, if the dream was particularly interesting and I feel I absolutely must<\/em> write it down. The details are never as interesting on paper, though. That would require embellishment and the addition of plot.<\/p>\n

5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it?<\/strong>
I can never realize I’m dreaming, and I’m a little skeptical of people who say that they can. How do you know that you’re in control of your dream and not just dreaming<\/em> that you’re in control of your dream? I never feel like a passive observor in my dreams, but I also don’t think I have any real control over what happens.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
