In last night’s dream I was getting ready for my first fencing match, and as I was almost ready to leave, I saw someone on horseback. I asked her about this, and she said, as if it should have been obvious, words to the effect of, “It’s fencing. Of course it’s done on horseback.”
And I spent the rest of the dream trying to figure out where the horses were kept so I could borrow one, all the while worrying about the fact that I hadn’t trained on horseback up until now. And also, trying to find a better pair of socks, because dreams are weird that way.
As anxiety dreams go, I suppose it beats trying to find a textbook so you can study for an exam in a class you only just realized you never attended …
