Teen Think Tank (6th - 12th Grade): Dreams
I have this recurring dream where I'm sitting in the back seat of a car that is racing up a ridiculously steep bridge over the ocean, when I suddenly realize there is no driver at the wheel. Fear washes over me as I try to reach the driver's seat to stop the car, only to find out the brakes don't work. I always manage to wake up before the car plunges into the water below.

This week we explore dreams and the many ways they can reveal our subconscious thoughts and inspire us.
