I've had a similar dream for years. Usually, I've simply put off learning my part and, as the dream unfolds, the day of reckoning gets closer and closer. What to do? The first thought is run away - escape! But, as I've had this dream repeatedly, there is some recognition that I've done this before, that I'm "known for this."

The only thing that has changed over the years is that now, at some point in the dream, I realize I can simply wake up, and this will all go away. The relief is tremendous!
