At 2:17 in the morning, I knew I was going to fail the test. That's when I woke up from a nightmare. It was the typical, "I wasn't prepared for a test," type dream. My task involved having to summarize the events of the past year in a report and then tie them in to the National Football League. Worse yet, I was having trouble writing or finding a working keyboard (I'm sure experts on the subconscious could have a field day with this.)
I'm sure you're familiar with the sense of relief that comes when you realize that a nightmare was just a dream. That got me to thinking about how some are walking through nightmares every day, fearing something that could happen.
In my case, I can understand the fear of being unprepared for a test. But I have to admit that in all these years, I've always been well prepared for exams. So the fear is not based in any kind of reality. Therefore, based on past history, I should stop worrying about it because with the past as a predictor, that future won't happen.
This frees me up to worry about new things...like the economy.
