I am considering going back to school for a PhD in Performance Studies with the ultimate goal of teaching. Last night and the night before I had dreams of writing. In the first I wrote a thesis, but it was a work of fiction, like a novel. Last night I had a dream that my first love came back and visited me. I was still in love with him, but he was married. He introduced me to his wife. I awoke at this point and wondered what made her special. I fell back asleep and began to dream a dream in which I got to know her. She was a writer, a writer who wrote screenplays. Any thoughts on what this might mean?

It seems like your unconscious mind is thinking about the possibilities for your future career.

Would you rather be writing than teaching?

Thanks for answering. I suppose writing is another one of my 'lost loves.' I wrote a lot as a teen, but haven't started anything in many years.
