Did you ever have one of those dreams where you missed an exam? That happened to me quite a lot back in the old days. And considering that scene in the movie "Top Secret!", that must happen to a lot of other people as well. In fact, in my dream it's like I was going to a different school every time.
The thing is, I actually missed a math exam back in college. But I dreamt about missing exams after I graduated. And to this day, I still feel like I should be submitting some sort of architectural homework to finish my course.
Anyway, in my dream this morning, I dreamt that I was actually able to take the exam. That's the goood news. The bad news was that I didn't know the answers to the exam questions. The exam was like a pop quiz enumeration thing and it looks something like this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449088/board/thread/73132996?p=3&d=73174442#73174442 that I posted just yesterday.
I'm thinking the reason why my mind was blank during the exam was that I saw "her" in my dream. Well...not "her" exactly. Actually, it was a picture of "her" on the cover of the "Philippine Star Ngayon" tabloid. Who "her"? I'd rather not say. She's a well-known actress here in the Philippines. But to me, she is "the-one-who-shall-not-be-named". (As a clue, her name is similar to a "T" in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest". And I don't mean "Tia Dalma".) The sight of her proved to be distracting and whatever it was I learned the "previous day", I'd completely forgotten during the exam.
The funny thing about that dream was...as I was flubbing the exam, I thought to myself, "What the heck, I could probably take the exam all over again". Then I thought, "Ah, who cares? This is probably just one of those 'I-missed-an-exam' dreams and I'll wake up realizing that I no longer go to school". Weird.
UPDATE: As I wrote this (May 2, 2007), I checked the "Philippine Star Ngayon" website and saw that while "her" picture wasn't on the cover (It was KC Concepcion's), "her" name was. Creepy.
