Paralysis

This is a recurring dream I have, but have not had in a while...But with a twist I realise afterwards that I am rewriting dream, to give myself another chance every time I get stuck. At last minute I find out I need to get class ready for big performance, this time its xmas play. I have zero time and as a result my mind is fairly paralysed with fear/dread. It is a Friday and I get a reprieve till Monday for me to think up a plan. The weekend evaporates and it is Monday morning leaving me with more or less the same dilemma. I have one lesson before show time. I waste the time talking to <PERSON> who is doing last minute rehearsals with his class. So I change the dream and go back to day start again. I waste the time worrying this time about what number to do with the class. So I go back in dream to lesson start again. This time I decide on a number that they already know, twinkle twinkle little star, LOL. I realise that there needs to be a musical element. I decide on kids using sleigh bells for that and check this is ok for performance with S in staff room. I then have to go back again in dream. This time I get kids to listen to twinkle, twinkle and sing it while they are doing their work as in lesson they are supposed to be working. I imagine being caught by management. I decide that the number is going to be a bit tame and go back again in the dream. This time I include playing a electric guitar for twinkle, twinkle little star. Realise there is not enough time for this and at last decide on a final version, which is to use a tape of a guitar playing near the end of the performance. Phew!
