This Really Weird Dream I Had.

In the teachers lounge the other day, we were talking about having "Teaching Dreams." These are sort of stress dreams related to your job, just like anyone in any profession likely has.

OK, last night, I had one. It was pretty strange.

Project Promise 16 was participating in a "Team Building" exercise. This was a pretty elaborate one. We were taken to France and were to give lessons in French Schools. We were then graded on our performances. Anyone that didn't pass was then to be executed by beheading. (I told you that this was a weird dream.) Almost all of us did not pass and were scheduled for the axe.

We were waiting in a holding area to be escorted by this "guard" to the "executioner" for our execution. Of course, I was choosen to be the first one to lose their head. The cohort quietly developed a plan to overtake the guard and the executioner and escape. Some of use grabbed rocks and anything else we could find.

The executioner called for me and the guard came my direction. As he came upon me, I jumped at him with my rock and began to beat him, as did many of the other PP members. Others jumped the Executioner. Soon, both were dead, lying in pools of blood.

We quietly escaped the building, hiding out as best we could so as not be caught for our horrible crimes. Somehow, we made our way back to the Project Promise room (this is a dream, ok.) We were having a debriefing session with our instructors and the company that put on the "Teambuilding Activity." All of us were lying and trying to cover up what really had happened. It was apparent to us that the company knew what had happened. They became increasingly suspicious of us and soon, we jumped them and attacked them for knowing about our plot.

Suddenly, I realized (don't ask me how, this is a dream) that this was all part of the "Teambuilding Exercise." Our treatment and our pending executions represented the problem that we had to solve. Our plan to kill the guard and the executioner and escape was our solution. Our subsequent cover-up was the "coming together as a team" part of the exercise.

Then, I woke up.

Weird, huh?
