Anxiety Dream In Time for Final Week

Good morning! I want to share this dream with you because it is classic.
Dream Title: DESIGNING MONEY
Dream: In a computer lab I am working to redesign a $5 bill so that it will become convincing fake foreign currency. This currency is needed to dupe a criminal into believing that his ransom is being paid. It is important for the release of hostages I think. I work feverishly on the computer to place new images over existing ones. I use magnification mode to tweak images carefully into place. Just as I am about to place the final element, I take a breath and release the mouse. Everything disappears! Erased! I stare incredulously at a blank white page on the computer screen. Oh no! How can this happen? Immediately I search stored files hoping to find saved images. Among random images I find and play part of a movie. Realizing it is THE MOVIE ( about the situation I'm working on), I watch for a while hoping to see the image I need to replace. But no. I stop the movie after a few scenes because it is taking too long. I go in search of another $5. A man in a parking lot offers me a $50. No. I need a bill with Lincoln's face. Another man gives me a $5. I take it back to the drawing table in the workroom and begin a redesign. What was it I used earlier? A triangle? A new oval? Image of a camel? Eagles? I remember that placing the image of an eagle was the last thing I was doing just before I lost the whole thing. I take the $5 to the scanner and begin anew. I copy the image of an eagle in profile to work with. My mind wanders to what color(s) to use on the fake money. Not green. I am losing my focus, time, and maybe my mind. -eod-

So I wake up and record all this in my journal. Now here I am telling it to you. I have an apt quote to share with it.

"The creative person is concerned to tap the powers of the subconscious mind, and in doing so, may become aware of forces that are normally inaccessable to consciousness."

Good luck with finishing up the semester. - Margaret
