Bizarre dream

My English teacher from high school was critiquing me and my high school friend on this series of logic/pattern matching puzzles we had each done. She was really happy with my friends' results but mine were 'disappointing' . In my dream I saw one of the puzzles my friend had done (it turns out that my unconscious does not come up with very difficult puzzles, it was a simple word association thing; but in the dream there was no sense of it being easy, only shame that I hadn't been able to do the problems assigned to me) I tried to explain my results partly by the fact that I think I need new glasses and I can't read smallish text well from more than half a metre or so away. Then she made us do more puzzles except this time there was a physical component as well (kind of like those mystery hunt things where you have to reach a location first and only then get the next clue), which took place near my friends' old house, and my friend got there first and I was struggling just to keep up and reach the location where the puzzle was..

I'm going to put this one down to my own desire for exercise and learning python, none of which I've advanced very far these holidays.
