Bizarre dream

Last night (or this morning?), I dreamed that I was taking a music seminar taught by Leonard Bernstein and Richard Axel (the Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist). Leonard Bernstein was more interested in flirting with my college roommate from freshman year than in forming a coherent critique of an article we were discussing. After class, Richard Axel offered me a position to teach a music class in the summer, but I had to decline because I'm already teaching two classes on scientific writing.
