weird dream

I dreamt last night that I was taking an exam in an outdoor classroom with mountains in the middle distance. There were lots of chairs with fold-down desks in rows, but I was the only student, and Javier Bardem was proctoring. The exam was an essay question on the Odyssey in which you had to take a stance on whether you thought Penelope was faking a major illness or whether she genuinely had something organic wrong with her, and you were supposed to back your arguments up with medical details hidden in the text (which, please note, I have never actually read). I freaked out because I had no idea how to answer the question, and so I ran up the road into the mountains to escape, and Javier was cross with me.
