Amusing dreams/nightmares

I'm in the middle of 1st semester organic chemistry and things are beginning to get more difficult. All the students in my class seem scared/confusing during lectures.

A few nights ago I had a dream that we were all getting our exams back. I went to the front of lecture hall, picked up my exam and saw that I got an 8 out of 100. I started crying. Then I realized that I had picked up the wrong exam and my actual grade was 18/100... and I was relieved because that was the class average.

I thought it was an amusing dream and I wanted to share.
Do you all have any other amusing dreams/nightmare about the whole premed process?
I bet there are some good ones out there.

I think the anxiety is getting to you. Take a little break and do something fun.

I just took my O-chem midterm exam two days ago. I am also waiting for my grade. It feels like my entire future is riding on this one exam grade. Yeah, I can relate. But I also think you should just take a day off.

I have those school dreams, I hate it. If I didn't have such horrible grades from my past I wouldn't think that a B+ is the end of the world. I know when the dreams start, I need to take a break though.

I'm not really that anxious. I'm doing pretty well in the class so far. In retrospect I thought the dream was funny because an 8 out of 100 is such a ridiculous grade. The idea that the class average was 18% is ridiculous too. And the idea that I'd be relieved to get an 18% is hilarious to me.

I had another dream that I caught some kids doing graffiti in a dark alley. When I looked at what they had spray painted I saw that it was a bunch of organic molecules and random mechanisms... perhaps I should stop studying right before bed.

Other people have got to have had some amusing dreams too.

I don't have a dream to share but The low score on my first o-chem mid term was 23/100....

Organic Chemistry is notoriously difficult. Breathe. If you feel confused, nervous, and scared your in the right place. Organic Chemistry is just a different type of learning. You have to study alot. Do all the homework and then some that is assigned to you from the Organic Chemistry book. If you utilize www.cramster.com it can be very helpful in giving you a step by step methodology of how to do something. There are resources out there. Your not alone. I remember last year when I was taking O Chem I and O Chem II looking around and seeing everyone else was as nervous and confused as I was. It's tough but it's doable. Apply yourself, utilize the resources, and pick your professor's brain. Study in groups to understand the concepts. You'll be so much better off for it.

I had a pretty good dream last night. I dreamed I ate the world's biggest marshmallow! But now I can't find my pillow anywhere. 🙁

i have a functional neuroanatomy test coming up.
i just had a nightmare today while napping.

i was yelling and throwing stuff at my best friends in med school while pointing at the screen
"what the f is this blue line, where does this tract go!! what is this frigging nucleus. why do you understand it and i don't!"
all the jealousy and irritation is out there.
and eventually, in my dream, i stopped myself and thought "this is crazy, why am i yelling at him? i love this boy. he's such a good friend and so nice../; then i wondered if i was psychotic....
then i went over all the psychotic drugs i learned recently. then i think i should walk toward the psych ward. so i walked outside of my room, and realized i was already in the hospital, and right outside of my room is the hospital hallway with all the beeping machines.

then i woke up. i was very shaken.

Wow. That's a good one. I think it is amusing that you diagnose yourself in the dream and start trying to figure out how to treat yourself.
Hope your exam goes well.
