Hello Teachers , please share me this post and discuss your dreams .

What teaching dreams do you have?

mixability groups where my strong students become bored and my weak ones frustrated

I have a dream where I am in the classroom with students, who smoke, drink bear, put their feet on the table and I walk around and try to say something and noone listens…. I wonder if anyone have anything like that.

hi Yulia !

I second Alex’ dream.

Wow, I’ve never had a teacher dream…. Is that ok?

I always have that same dream every 2nd or 3rd week of August! Its usually the first day and I realize that I haven’t photocopied the syllabus and rules. My students are unruly and the entire nightmare drags out very long. This actually gets my butt in gear for getting out of “lazy summer mode” and into “lets get ready for school” mode.

I once had a very challenging class that contained seven disruptive boys they were called negative role models by the counselor and assistant principal. Neither of them wanted to see these boys , who were usually in one of their offices by the time the school bell rang at the beginning of the day. I had planned an outdoor field trip to a nature center and major lake in early April. I was dreading the excursion in a way, because I was anticipating a problem from at least two of them. The night before the trip, I dreamed of losing my entire class of 29 students in a forest. I kept going out to search for them, and once found, I took them to a theater, where the parents had to guard them so they wouldn’t escape into the forest again. That was the worst dream I ever had. The next day, we had a major blizzard, and school and the trip were canceled. Whew!

in my dream, as if all the school with the students were in the jungle and we encountered a tiger, the tiger did not attack none of us, but just kept going until he met a lion, there was a big fight between both of them and we were watching. finally the tiger killed the lion, and came back to us with a sense of pride. the tiger did not attack us, but he acted as if we were friends, and he sat down next to me, i got up frightened?? please note that there was no sound in my dream, everything was silent, and my none feared the tiger, but the lion, any one can interpret my dream??

Abdul, I’m not a professional dream interpreter, but let me give you my opinion of what your dream means. Before I begin, let me note by saying that the interpretation of dreams may be symbolically related to the culture, so the same dream will not be interpreted in the same way by everyone. From what I was told when I was young, dreams about animals like tigers or lions indicate someone you know, that has a dominate personality or has a dominate influence in your life. So it could be that there are currently two dominant people or forces in your life and one person/force has defeated the other force/person. Therefore, I view your dream as a dream based on fear. Now that the tiger has defeated the lion, you fear the tiger because it has asserted itself as stronger than the lion. Again, don’t take this interpretation too seriously. I’m just telling you what I know about this subject. By no means am I an expert.

thanks a lot, you did your best

Although I don’t mention it in my profile, my first public-school teaching job was in a self-contained classroom with emotionally-disturbed/behaviorally-disturbed teenagers. Ten of them, all at once. I’m a big guy, but two of them were bigger than I!

I got this job because (1) I wanted a full-time teaching job when I left the Navy and (2) the school desperately needed a teacher for this position because the previous teacher had left because of a spousal transfer. (By the way, I had NO experience or specialized training in teaching Special Education students at that time.)

After the first week, I would come home and have nightmares almost every night about that class. In my dreams, I would walk in and all the students would walk out…. or they would all begin to fight…. or would all begin to get up and dance and ignore my requests for them to sit down…. or parents would come in en masse and demand why someone without a Special Education degree was teaching their darlings. That was one of the most stressful times of my life, I think. Thankfully, it was only for the second half of the school year, and I did not go back into that area of teaching. Of course, both my daughters became Special Education teachers!
