Caught me off guard [dreams]

So there I was, back at high school. Couldn't remember my locker combination for love or money and couldn't find where I'd written it down. I knew I'd not used the combination in a long time, but also that I'd had the same locker for long enough that I should remember. I had a whole bunch of stuff that really had to go into a locker, including QE's khuhris, which were wrapped up in a towel, but poorly done. I did at least have some help- one of my classmates, a guy I'd known since grade school and as always in homeroom (and therefore near my locker) said I could use his locker, which was open. It was sort of a tardis of a locker since it was much bigger on the inside and fit everything I had without a problem. It actually didn't separate my locker from his by several, and theoretically I could get a few things, although chances were I wouldn't be able to get that goddamned math book that I'd not looked at in way too long, and of course hadn't gone to class for a long time, and yes there was a test soon.
I would really like to have the capacity to short circuit these dreams more often. I think I've only done it once when I talked the teacher out of giving me the test when I explained I'd graduated over 10-15 years ago and I had NO idea why I was even there. That worked.
However, for anxiety dreams, it's at least familiar. The bits I don't remember from I think involve monsters, though. I'm certainly tired enough for there to have been monsters.

I think I've been there. I still get those "tests for which I've not studied" dreams.

The past few weeks I've also had need to catch a bus anxiety- and which bus, is it there, am I late- is *it* late? No end of things that can go wrong in that.
