THE DREAM I am in some exam. I am trying to get the information down really fast. Suddenly I realise that I am cheating because I have all my notes with me and I am just copying the information out. I hide this fact from the teachers and invigilators. I realise as well that I am much older and that my health is not in such a good state and so I will have to do my best.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The next day the dreamer thought through his approach at work. He speeded up his report writing but in a way which involved cutting corners. He felt this was an acceptable compromise and as it speeded things up so much. He realised that he was not being as thorough as he had liked.
