Asken You Shall Receive

Last night I dreamt that I was taking a test for one of my massage classes (either Anatomy & Phys or my Massage I class) and it was one of those dreams where no matter HOW hard I tried, I could not complete the test. At one point I was down in a basement and the family members of the one kid in my class were all there and hanging all over me and being noisy. Then I moved and almost fell into a construction hole. There were jackhammers and huge ditches, and clearly this was distracting as well. Then my sister was trying on veiled hats for me and tried on this white one that looked sorta weird with her dress, and I said it was nice but she said it looked too "Cyndi Lauperish." And then I was trying to run towards the place where I had to hand in my test (which was in this sort of mall-facility), and the steps went down. And then they went up again but this time like in a weird Escher drawing, but they were also extremely huge (a tad bit higher than chest-level) and sitting in such a way that those of us trying to get up them had to use a ridiculous amount of upper body strength to hoist ourselves up each individual step. And I was already 10 minutes late and fearing I wouldn't be able to turn in my test on time.

Two of the questions on the test I actually remember. For the first question, there was an elaborate diagram of a stove with various parts labelled (but not with their actual real-life names). The question accompanying it was for some reason completely unrelated to the diagram and was "Do male humans have an 'asken'?"

One of the final questions on the test had to do with the smallest midgets ever recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, and as I was running to try to turn my test in, I ran into my brother and asked him the answer because I thought surely he would know. He did not. Clearly this was upsetting.

Despite all the dream anxiety, I actually got a 100% on my first anatomy quiz. In real-life.

Yip yip!
