truth.....

ok, so....in my dreams i was taking a test.......i had a blank answer sheet, and my chore was to write down single word synonyms...50 of them.....from a separate xeroxed list.....and i had no table to use, so i was using the side of my purse as a writing surface.....and at some points i could not find the test, and later on the answer sheet....these pieces of paper would get strewn about along with the cincinnati newspaper....lost in the shuffle.....and curiously, the numbered answere sheet would become scrambled...so that if i was answering number 10 i had to search for the corresponding blank.....i struggled with the answers...the most memorable was for a synonym for truth....i wanted to put down words like correctness.....or justice...but these were not right...and i knew that even in my sleep.....for the record...the best answer would have been fact...as this was my first google of the day.....as for the people in this dream......a curly-headed fellow who went to church with my middle child , who i know to have only brothers.....was telling me as he proctored the test for a bit about how his sister would have answered a question on a synonym for blue...curious.....and as i was going into a room grasping both the unfinished answer sheet and the test.....a girl from my high school class......whose name i could not recall....and someone i have not thought about since before we graduated, was walking out......as obscure goes this is really obscure.....part of the action took place in my in-laws house in cincinnati....a place no longer owned by family....and all of the furniture was different.....as it would be.....sadly...i never did complete my task...and toward the end i was wondering how i would ever earn a degree in english if i failed this exam.......good thing i have never aspired to a degree in english.....
