A triangle shape

Morning of May 5, 2017. Friday. I am teaching a psychology class based on the Holt, Rhinehart, and <PERSON> textbook (which I only actively used for one year). It seems to be eleventh or twelfth grade (with no association with AP students). One female, a young version of <PERSON>, is somehow seated on the desktop rather than the seat near the front of the class, to the right. The rest of the students are sitting in their desk's seat. Over time, I am trying to focus on a chart over the chalkboard. At first, I assume it is something to do with levels of consciousness (which is not a real part of the textbook in the way it is displayed). The bottom is first labelled as "UNCONSCIOUS". Looking more closely however, I see that it says "PRIMARY PRODUCERS". It then dawns on me that I am actually trying to explain something relevant to biology and what looks to be a food pyramid diagram. Still, I become curious when the animal icons on the left (one on each "step") all appear to be primates, displayed as if they are meant to be going up the steps of the supposed food pyramid. The one on the second-last step is a human, but in silhouette as in the other cases. Looking more closely, they appear somewhat distorted, almost like inkblots or human shadows with three or more arms in odd positions. Still, I look at the top of the triangle, where the "TERTIARY CONSUMERS" section terminates. It firstly appears to be a man flexing his left biceps. I look more and more closely and finally see it is Atom Ant (the cartoon superhero). I squint trying to work out what is going on. Perhaps someone played a trick on me and tampered with the diagram. As my emergent consciousness kicks in, I am trying to work out how an ant would symbolize my emergent consciousness. Then I realize that the phrase "Up and at'them - Atom Ant!" is a reference to waking up and getting out of bed. This dream was directly influenced by a dream (from January 2, 2016) that I reviewed and posted on a couple sites before my last sleeping period; the one titled "Evolution of Waking". It has very similar waking symbolism and also (though less present as here) the idea of waking as "evolving". Continuously studying and understanding my dreams for over fifty years, it seems obvious that many of my dreams have integrated a virtuous circle into some dream types, where the real-time waking symbolism is so obvious as to be a no-brainer in many cases, even in surreal scenarios such as this and the January 2, 2016 dream.
