I dream I am in a combination library/university center. Some guy who has been talking to a lot of people has a yellow pad filled with questions about me. Apparently, he has read some of my evaluations and he doesn’t understand why students and supervisors have said positive things.  I don’t seem to him to be entertaining or energetic or interesting or engaged. So not too far from earshot from him, I sit down with my brother, Dan. I tell him something is troubling me. I have noticed that somebody has written on a yellow pad, and on this yellow pad I am being evaluated. The guy overhears this, and explains to me that I seem to be pretty much a dud — an unimpressive person. I know that I could suddenly become energetic and impressive, but I decide I am not interested in performing for this guy.

I dream I am teaching a class in the university library in an area divided by cubicles. I’m having trouble getting the students’ attention in this environment already, but in the middle of class a bunch of guys come in with a barrel of root beer and start singing and dancing. It’s a Barq’s Root Beer promotion. I tell them “Get out of here; I’m in the middle of teaching class.” I leave to complain to my supervisor and when I come back my class is gone, including the desks and the cubicles. After a few minutes I find some of the students and I threaten to “fail their asses” if they don’t get back to class.

I dream that Gail is a librarian and she notices that somebody has written in some of the magic books. Naturally, she assumes I did it. There is a grain of truth in her accusation. There are lots of things written in the books including maybe three words I’ve written in the margin where the authors made inaccurate statements. Gail attempts to bully a confession out of me, but I refuse to admit my guilt.
