You wake up in a pool of sweat, your heart pounding, your adrenaline pumping, and you say to yourself that was the worst nightmare EVER!

You may not remember all the specifics, but you know it wasn't good.

Sometimes it's not until later in the day when all of a sudden it just hits you and you remember exactly what your dream was about and why it kept you up the entire night.

It was a nightmare!

Whether you remember it or not, we dream each night. Maybe you have that recurring dream that for whatever reason you keep experiencing over and over and over again, and you wonder what it all means!

For me, I'm back in college and I don't have enough credits to graduate. I have one more class to take, but it's graduation day so I'm scrambling to take the final exam.

It's weird, I've had that same dream several times and I always wake up in a panic not knowing if I graduated or not!
