Dreams

The holidays are coming to an end and the new term at school is coming ever closer at a rate of knots. I seem to have spent much of the last week sat at my computer planning and fretting about all the things I probably have to do before starting school that I don’t know about. I often find that when I am stressed I have dreams about school. At my last school I remember having a dream where a group of children just wouldn’t go out for play and let me go up to the staff room at break time, no matter what I did they would sneak past me and go back into the classroom or they would out and out defy me and stay where they were in my way. I was clearly insecure about my behaviour management at the time. Though thankfully I found that my behaviour management was never that bad when I actually stood in front of the class. Last night I had a dream that my classroom had been extended and that the corridor outside had been knocked into my classroom as well to make it bigger. I was most upset because of all the work that I had put in to make the room look good and now it looked a mess again and wasn’t in the state that I had left it. I don’t think I have anything to worry about here either, there is nothing that will make me quite as ill prepared for school starting as that!
