Last night I had a dream. It was a dream about professional exam which was brought forward ad hoc. The lecturers did not inform us earlier and suddenly there was an annoucement that the professional exam was going to be held immediately. Once I heard the announcement, I started to have palpitation. I got PTB case for my long case. I was able to gave a good history and physical examination. But, when the discussion arrived at the management, I got stucked. I was unable to remember any of the anti-TB except isoniazide. When the examiner asked further about the side effect of the drugs, I started to become panic and speechless. Then, I woke up from the dream.

After a while, I fall asleep again. Unfortunately the dream continued. These time the dream proceeded to the short cases. I got O&G, surgical and orthopaedic cases. I was able to perform in O&G and surgical, but not in orthopaedic. These added up to my myseries that I started to cry. I felt so frustrated and helpless. I regretted it so much that I was not prepared and always played around. Suddenly I remembered what Dr NAW told me that Muslim never make the same mistake twice. While crying, I then woke up from the sleep again.

The dream bothered me so much that I kept on waking up after that. It was so scary because I felt as if it was a real experience. Furthermore, it reminds me so much of how unprepared I am. But, do I still have the time to catch up?
