I had a dream that I was driving around Illinois collecting pennies in exchange for teaching debate. It was like a cross between a) my current job, b) some kind of replay of Lincoln-Douglas that involved stopping at truck stops and Wal-Marts, and c) a winter road trip.
At each stop, after teaching a debate class to involved or unfocused or somnolent children (all a blur), I was paid a single penny. I had a jar on the seat in my car, beside me. I would drop the penny in the jar, and then drive in lightly falling snow down the highway of some dream-version of Illinois (that mostly looked like the real Illinois, because, although far in the past, I've done my fair share of driving around Illinois and other midwestern states).
What does this dream mean? Why do I have so many "driving around dreams"? – I haven't even owned a car in half a decade.
What I'm listening to right now.
