A little bit of a flashback

Over the last two nights I have woken up having had dreams of Warwick as I knew it, in spite of it approaching two years since I graduated and six years since I first started. Yesterday night I was dreaming of the Union and the Arts centre, mixed with a sprinkling of techie in there too. Of course this also include flashes of my current boss and other work related stuff in there too, which makes little sense. Tonight I’ve woken up dreaming of Arthur Vick, except the one I dreamt of was dramatically remodelled with a more open plan layout and many kitchens interlocked with the bedrooms. The strange thing is I was there with Emma and there was an Aga in one of the kitchen. I mean really… most people could barely cook pasta when they arrived at the time I did, how many of them could use an Aga?! The strange thing was all the names were on the rooms just as they were when I was there, every single one along the corridor was there and I was back in AV1, Kitchen 10 again in Room 220 just as before.

So what is going on in my head that is dragging me back to University? Is it that I’m ready to come home and it’s a reminder of familiar surroundings? Is it that I miss having a formalised learning program? Or is it just reminding me where so much of what my life is today was formed and not to forget it?
