Dream journal

I had a dream that I was back in Maine and I was running. I couldn't remember exactly how to get to the place I was trying to go though. Then I realized that I wasn't making any progress; that I was basically running in place. It was so frustrating. I think this is a metaphor for how I am feeling right now. I feel a bit like I am running in place. I am trying to move forward, but there are other things that are holding me up or that I am waiting for. I need to get my motivation recharged and get my head back in the game. I think I am going to make a time line for my dissertation and get the next two years mapped out so I can see where I am headed and feel like I am making progress. If anyone has any words of motivation, pass them on. . .
