A frightening side effect of jet lag

[Cycling Naturalist]

I've just come back from New Zealand where it is spring. In the UK I have recurrent dreams every spring that I am doing exams and must revise something largely as a result of being on an exam treadmill from the 11+ through to professional finals. Last night, I had a dream that I had one final paper to take to qualify, but I couldn't find the address of the examination hall.

not jet lag, but I'm getting fed up of what seems like an eternal summer right now.....

So, you're up nice and early in the morning then!

Yes, I got up to go the the exam and then remembered that I passed it about thirty years ago.

I have a similar recurrent dream that I still need to prepare for an exam even though I graduated nearly 30 years ago.

Are you sure that's the result of Jet Lag, Patrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, same here.

Nothing to do with jet lag, but I seem to get dreams the night before a long event that I have forgotten how to cycle.

Do you put stabilisers on to give yourself confidence in the Cat 1 events?

So it's nothing to do with your subconscious mind finally releasing your suppressed memory when you cheated during your exams?!

I had a dream that my line manager was telling me that my job description now included caring for the aged mother of one of our partners, but I couldn't get a taxi to the care home. I work for an ageing organisation - I need a break!

Not that old chestnut. I still get a dream where I sit down in the exam hall and I haven't got a clue how to answer the questions. Cue panic attack in my sleep.
