i normally have very pleasant, completely strange dreams. the other night, i dreamed my sister caitlin and her friends wanted to float down the amazon river in plastic chairs and i was trying to talk her out of it because of the piranhas. (?) normally my dreams are like that. but last night i had an unhappy dream.
uva has a really cool program called "semester at sea," which as far as i understand, is a semester-long cruise. i dreamt that i had to do a semester at sea with a bunch of old co-workers. i kept asking everyone why i had to go, no one had answers. i just had to go. it was four months long, and todd had to stay home.
i sort of wanted to go, but then again, i really didn't. i did not want to be away from todd for that long. but he dropped me off for my trip, and i kept making excuses and forgetting things so i had to get off the boat and see him again.
i woke up long enough to realize that i was dreaming. i didn't really have to be away from todd. so i snuggled closer to his side of the bed and fell back asleep, figuring i might as well enjoy my dream cruise, but keeping him close for reassurance.

I have a similar dream in that I am called to go on a 2 year mission again for no particular reason. I feel so bad leaving my family and my work and I feel guilty for feeling that way.
I'm always so glad when I wake up to find that I am not faced with such a tough decision. Props to the original missionaries who did it.
