Your putting your subconscious to rest?
Truth be told I don't know what to make of dreams. I don't read too much into them for "meaning" but I do wonder if there is something to be said for analyzing them.
I recently read an interesting theory about this type of dream that attempted to provide an evolutionary rationale for it. Considering how ubiquitous this type of "lack of preparation" dream is, the theory is that it must confer a survival advantage to have it. The advantage being, our ancestors probably had a similar type of dream, perhaps about going hunting and just at the crucial moment when they're confronting the woolly mammoth realizing that they'd forgotten their spear at the cave. The guy who has this dream is less likely to actually forget his spear the following morning than the cro magnon who spent the night dreaming about buttsechs with the sexy neandertal chick in the cave down the valley, giving him (the first guy) a slight edge over the second guy, who's also more likely to get the shit kicked out of him by the neandertal chick's boyfriend at some point.
*that's a roll of hundos with a one dollar bill on the outside, not to be confused with an italian bankroll, which is the exact opposite.
