Arrived late to a class where we were doing a quiz or test - was having trouble working on it -the usual School Anxiety scenario. Unusually, though, the professor was the Finnish Art Dept. chair from my undergrad - under whom I'd never taken a class at that time. Also, wasn't sure if it was an art class or music.

Fortunately, he didn't seem too put out when he arrived and I wasn't done. (That fact almost perturbed me when I awoke - perhaps I wanted an excuse to just give up (and feel like a failure))?

Some strange melange which included strong themes of wanting to go on a voyage/trip but not being sure (anxiety dream component) that I had the correct 'ticket' or token for passage, or that I would be ready in time (be packed, have what I needed) before departure. In one scene, might have been a boat or plane, and people involved in organizing it may have included an artistic LJ/FB friend.

I headed back to another area, and tried to get the stuff I would need, but then was stressing about quickly getting back to the ship - felt I had only like 5 - 10 minutes. There was a group of people there, some friends meeting up, I thought. Impression of guys having a college chum reunion or something. Thought I might ask for/get a ride from them; not sure whether they had agreed or not. They were goofing around a bit physically.

In another scene, shifted to possibly being a spaceship (not clear), and a different set of folks. I needed this necklace made of something that looked like mahjong tiles; it functioned as some type of token that would be the equivalent of a 'ticket'. Was still stressed about gathering my stuff, getting to the place of disembarkment, having the necklace (in my haste, I may have broken the cord so that 'tiles' were slipping off)... Finally, I ran into the people running the ship, and asked them if I could still come, despite still trying to get my sh*t together. They seemed to be okay with that. (Maybe the 'point' of that scene was to remind myself it's okay to ask for a bit of time to get myself together, rather than just stressing out about things...)
