I’ve been thinking a lot about the dreams even more lately, having written about them here, and I’ve had an idea about what the meaning could be. What if it’s a WARNING about what else might crumble if I continue procrastinating? Dreams are known to be really symbolic, which is why they often seem so cryptic.

And dental hygiene is a great analogy for those little steps that make a big difference. Maybe in this case, frequent attention to my cause will help me ensure it doesn’t come crumbling down around me.

And, for what it’s worth, I got a dental checkup and cleaning today just for peace of mind. (Another anti-procrastinated task!)

@Victoria/Bugbrain: I’m glad we had a chance to talk about this today. For the record though, I have talked to several professionals about my procrastination: both in the medical and psychological field. The best help I got was from the doctor in the “Kick in the Pants” section above! :)

@ultraspy: Hey, good point, I should at least put the tentative title of my thesis on my “about” page. I bet I’d be doing very well if it was entitled, “An Intensive Study of a Chronic Procrastinator in Graduate Studies”, but alas, I’m in physics, not psychology. :P

@Kerul: I agree that making myself feel bad about clutter would be counterproductive; I have been trying to avoid doing that ever since I’ve been FLYwashed (see FlyLady.net)! I love organizing though, and so decluttering is actually a “want to do” not a “dread to do” task. My problem is that there are so many things I want to do, and many of them would take so long that I can’t bring myself to start! I’m pretty sure I have to continue to treat procrastination as a bad thing so I can kick the habit, but your book does look interesting, and I will definitely see about checking it out.

Thank you all for the comments! I really appreciate the opportunity to talk to anyone who might understand. :)

B) What is your thesis topic?

C) I frequently have the dream where all my teeth crumble out too!
