    I went to sleep three hours early so I could wake up three hours early, and I did, but the urge to keep old habits is strong and so I fell back into a fitful sleep for another three hours.

    During that time, the part of my brain that wanted me to wake up did what it always does in these situations; it started throwing increasingly troubling dreams at me. Usually, they increase in disturbance until waking up is preferable to remaining in the dream.

    These “wake up!” dreams are interesting because they shed some light on what at least one part of my brain thinks are my greatest fears.

    Generally, I’m not chased by monsters but rather find myself prevented from doing things.

    For example, in my dream, I found myself at work, typing on my computer, but my fingers weren’t pressing the right keys, and when I looked closely at the keys, they were labeled not with letters but with alien symbols.
    Several people came up to me and reminded me that we had contracts which were not getting done, so I looked at the contracts to see who could do them, but they also were written in some alien language and I couldn’t read them.
    I decided to head home and work on my computer there, where I at least knew everything was in English, so I walked out to the parking lot and discovered that my car was not there. I realized that I had returned to the company from a trip the previous night in a cab, and where the hell was my car? Probably at the airport.
    I called a friend to give me a ride to the airport, but he’d already left work.
    I realized I had to walk home, which was a few miles away.
    When I got home, I discovered that I didn’t have my house keys. They were in my luggage, which must be stacked up wherever the cab was when it dropped me off.

    Finally, at my usual wake-up time, I woke up.

    The dream was just one “tied hands” episode after another. Crazy things preventing me from doing what I want to do.
