I don't pick my best song for my audition. (dream)

DREAM

I'm casually hanging out with two other women, when it comes time for us to audition for our music teacher whose house we're at. The middle aged lady before me chooses to sing a piece from a Mozart opera. While she's singing I think about what I could do.

I want to sing and play the piano, but it's not my best instrument. I'd better go with the guitar. I get out my guitar, but then I remember each and every mistake I've ever made while playing it, and I wonder if I should be auditioning at all. Maybe I'm just not good at anything. 

Then the dream shifts. I'm half awake, and I think about going to college for physics. There's the STEM school that's always been here, and my college in California has decided to open a branch in town. So now, I can finish what I started years, and years ago. 


INTERPRETATION

I constantly dream about going back to college and finishing my physics degree or getting some other STEM degree. I have for years. That is not the path I ended up going down, and I regret it now. 

Also, I often feel as though I am just not that good at anything and should give up. So I'm surprised I don't have more dreams like this.
