This posting is not related either to Sidney or Spenser, other than
Scudamour clearly had an anxiety dream and Redcrosse's dream can be read as
such.
My question is whether one who is afflicted with classroom anxiety dreams
can ever look forward to a time when one is free of them.
I have been retired for 10 years now and I had one last night. I dreamed
that a semester had bgun, and I had neglected to meet my classes (I never
did that). I was supposed to teach a Shakespeare play the next hour but I
hadn't re-read the play, and when I looked at my copy of the text it didn't
seem to be a play at all.
I was, of course, extremely relieved when I awoke.
Has anyone continued to have such dreams longer than a decade?
