I had a dream last night that I was in an English class. It felt like high school, but I couldn't recognize anyone in the class. I was nervous because I hadn't studied for the class like I should have, and I was worried that the teacher would call on me and I wouldn't know the answer. As the teacher went around the room taking attendance, I tried to hide behind my desk and avoid eye contact. Unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful and the teacher called my name. I reluctantly stood up and tried to compose myself. To my surprise, the teacher didn't ask me a difficult question about grammar or literature, but instead asked me to introduce myself and tell the class a little bit about my hobbies and interests. I felt relieved and proceeded to talk about my love for reading, playing video games, and listening to music. As the class went on, I found myself enjoying the material that we were covering. We discussed a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, and I was surprised to find that I actually had some insightful thoughts on the piece. After class, the teacher approached me and complimented me on my contribution to the discussion. I thanked her and left the class feeling proud of myself for overcoming my initial fear and engaging in the lesson. Reflecting on the dream, I realized that it was a reminder to not be afraid to try new things and to trust in my own abilities. It's easy to get caught up in self-doubt and fear of failure, but sometimes all it takes is a little bit of courage to make a breakthrough. I may never have the exact same experience as I did in my dream, but I will carry its message with me as I face new challenges in my life.
