I woke up around 2 AM, sweating and panting. My husband grabbed the baseball bat beside the bed and stood by the door.

Husband: “What? What?”

Me: “I – I – oh no.”

Husband: “What?”

Me: “I had a dream that I was late for school.”

Husband: “Honey. You’re thirty-eight.”

Me: “I know! It was just a dream. I don’t know why I thought I was late for school.”

Husband: “Did you forget something for work?”

Me: “I don’t think so. No wait…”

I did! 

I forgot to send out a reminder to update the minutes for a weekly meeting that would occur the next morning at 9 AM. I ran to my computer, sent the minutes, and went back to sleep. My boss brought it up in the next meeting, commending me on my dedication to my job.
