There were lots of different characters in my dream, most of them were in my class. I do not remember what subject the class was about but I remember it was taking place in an auditorium type of room. My classmates in my all sounded similarly and their faces where unrecognizable, I could not remember anyone I talked too as if I had short term memory loss.

    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously.

    Good evening everyone! The forum assignment for this week requires us to think of a dream we had and then go to a website that claims to be able to interpret what the dream was about. What was the dream that you used with the Dream Dictionary about (if you are not comfortable disclosing the dream skip this question and start with the next one). The dream I chose for this assignment is one I had about five years ago which is still fairly vivid to me even now because it had made absolutely no sense to me.…

I would be so quiet that I would just sit there and you could forget that I was in the room.…

Sleep is going to be my number one priority now that I know how much of an effect that it is having on my life. On October 8, 2015 I had a very vivid dream that I remember clearly.…
