In Dreams

I had a strange dream last night in which I had switched my main character to a level 80 hunter.
It was one of those dreams that doesn't make logical sense, because it was like I created the hunter and was instantly level 80.

When you create a character your initial spells are placed on your hotbar for you. In my dream, I had only a few spells on my hotbar, like auto shot and a few of the ranged abilities that also do spell damage.

I was invited to a raid, even though I didn't have good gear and didn't have a clue how to play a hunter.
The raid instance didn't look familiar at all. Essentially, the raid had wiped to whatever boss we were killing and I was the only one left standing.

I recall standing very far away, just plinking arrows at the boss with auto shot and kind of kiting him around.
And suddenly it hits me, I'm not at all prepared for this!
I realize there are tons of spells in my spellbook that aren't on my hotbar. I don't have any of my traps hotkeyed. But I have no time at the moment to open my spellbook and start fiddling around with that.

As I'm still shooting away, I realize I didn't stock up on arrows or anything before the raid. What is going to happen if I run out? I'm such a noob!

That's all I remember of the dream, so I have no ending but I'm sure it couldn't have been a good one. But perhaps the undergeared noob of a hunter really did kill the boss and save the day, it is a dream after all!

I have no desire really to play a hunter, especially since #1 they are very popular (or at least once were) and #2 hybrid classes really have the advantage now. There's never a shortage of priests, pallys, druids and shamen in a raid anymore.

It seems this was another one of those "anxiety" dreams that I have from time to time. Usually they revolve around me not being prepared for something, being really late, or realizing I have forgotten to do something very important.

This is the first WoW centered one I can recall though. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I died during Hodir twice last night because of not jumping on top of the snow pile thing quick enough, so I got frozen in place. Both times I was too busy trying to get heals off and wasn't paying enough attention to my surroundings.

In Ulduar, I have to recondition myself that I need to worry about saving my own ass first.
