STAGE FRIGHT

Hi everyone,

Sorry I didn’t post any dream for the last two weeks, I was trying to catch up on my art making.  I hope you’ve all been doing well :)

“So, who would like to present first?”

I’m sure you’ve all heard that phrase at least once in your life while in school, and I don’t know about you, but it had always put me into a panic :O  Speaking in front of people is definitely not my strong points.  I even tried taking a drama class in school to help with that, but in the end I was even more scared to do presentations :/  Ironic isn’t it? 

*** I was in a small classroom with a few of my friends and the teacher was describing the next project.  We had to read a short excerpt and present a summary of what it was about.  I began worrying so much, I remembered the days when I had to do the same thing and was terrible at it. 

We had the whole class day to read and prepare our presentation.  My friends were being really supportive but that’s because they were all ready with their presentations and was just waiting for me to finish. 

“Alright, time to start presentations.” the teacher said.  I was so nervous I wanted to cry because I wasn’t ready to embarrass myself again as I did the other times.

One by one, my friends went up and did a flawless summarization, and it was coming to my turn.  Everyone was looking at me in anticipation…. ***

I must say thankfully the dream ended there, I really would not have done a good presentation because I couldn’t remember what the excerpt was about.  I know the project sounded simple enough, but for me, I was dreading it with all my heart.  When I was in school I had to do a few summarization presentations and all were terrible, and unfortunately, I am not exaggerating :(  For example, I could read and understand a book, but ask me to summarize it in a short paragraph, and.. well…uh…I’m at a loss for words. 

I can give one sentence summaries, but if you want anything more, then you’ll have to wait till I compose my words :)

Thanks for reading, I you all have a lovely weekend :)

If there's anything you'd like to say about the dream or ask, feel free to comment :)
