Now that I'm no longer a teacher, I've had a recurring dream that's very unusual for me. I've dreamed of being in bed with one of my student, having an intimate, loving, post-coital conversation. What happens is always the the same, though it's a different kid (always a boy {obviously, though not necessarily a hot one} and usually a really strong student) each time. I'm expressing from my heart a profound sense of pride in and admiration for him, and he is lovingly and gratefully acknowledging this. I don't really mind, as it's a very nice dream, but it's happened (and very vividly) at least four times. And I was never sexually tempted by my students; quite the opposite, in fact. I'm not sure what to make of it.
