LSAT Dreams

June 19, 2010 at 3:11 pm (LSAT Prep)

Prior to the lsat, I had a reoccurring dream that I was sitting in the test center scribbling away in my booklet on test day and my teeth kept falling out.  It was really disturbing.  Post lsat, I have been dreaming of the day I receive my score.  In one such dream, I receive the fateful lsac email containing my score, only I can’t see the score on my blackberry, all I see is a bunch of numbers and symbols but can’t make sense of any of it.  In another reoccurring dream, I am looking at my LSAC account online and first see the section-by-section breakdown of my score results, I see the numbers 9, 9, 12, and 13.  I’m really bad at math.  It takes me a little time to add this up in my head.  Yet in my dream, I automatically knew this meant my raw score would be 43.  How is it possible that what would take me a good minute or two awake, took me no time at all and made perfect mathematical sense in my sleep?  I hope this wasn’t a premonition, which has happened to me before.  Often, when I dream of something that later happens, I recall the dream and realize that there is no way I would have arrived at a given conclusion in my conscious state of mind.  In looking at some of the more recent preptests, if my raw score was 43, I’d be sitting at a 141 – several points lower than my initial diagnostic.  This is frightening. 

I should only have about another week to go.  I hope it passes quickly and I hope I have good news.   The earliest I will know my score would be this Thursday, June 24th, and the latest would be Monday, June 28th.  I have never been a patient person, and this time in my life is no different.
