I had an odd dream last night, with elements thrown in from the NaNoWriMo novel I wrote, previous dreams, the different places I've worked and so on. Most of the elements were quite familiar, but one part was quite new.

At one point I had to run to get to class on time. For once, I had a dream when I was in school, was clothed, was prepared, and had my homework done -- some sort of massive project I was happy to hand in. At the end of the class, the teacher said "Well, that's it. You've all graduated." I don't think I've had a non anxious dream about school since I left school. I wonder what that means?

Its normal for someone whos playing a lot of a new video game to have dreams that are influenced by the game. So had I started having Civ III dreams I wouldn't be surprised. However, I remember my dreams from the last few days and though they were interesting (at one point I was a split personalitity private detective/secret agent, and the detective self was hunting the other half as a suspect in a political assassination...), but they did not involve Civ 3.

Why then, did I wake up both mornings with my eyes attemtping to make all objects fit on a diamond grid, and with a tendency to refer to myself as 'that unit'? In both cases I found myself getting a drink of water and thinking 'That unit is thirsty, better let it drink.", a way of thinking about myself that I found somewhat unnerving.
