memory

I dreamt that I was with a group of colleagues. I call them that because they were not really friends, but we all had something in common. We were part of a group of people with certain skills or talents. We were together that day to perform mental exercises and take tests. It didn't feel stressful, so I don't think the tests were to weed anyone out, but just to continue to stretch ourselves. We had been hanging out in a house of sorts, very open. There were snacks and things all over the room for us to "play" with. Our next test would be to remember how to put something together. It was a pile of metal objects, many looking almost identical, but with slight differences. We needed to know how to put them back in order. I had remembered a memory exercise from a book "Moonwalking with Einstein" so I used this for the first metal part. It had Dakane stamped on the metal. I imagined a rich young man by the name of Dak standing at the front door of the house I grew up in and he was holding a tube of ointment (something ending in -ane). I guess it worked. I felt like I was a little behind everyone else.. or that I hadn't worked as hard. There was a blond fellow there that looked like a young Leonardo Di Caprio .. he seemed very serious and was putting his all into it.  I felt as though maybe I was being lazy and not working hard enough, but I also knew that I never had to... I was just able to do it naturally.
