My version of this involves Penn State threatening to charge me 40-some years of 
tuition unless I submit my PhD dissertation within 24 hours.

Variations on this occur from time to time . . .

Cheers,

I had one last night, set in college, in which I didn't have my
enrollment package and class schedule (apparently I'd completed some
part of enrollment, so I was expected to be some place at some time),
and was trying to figure out where I was supposed to be, when.  I knew
enough to know that I was due in class somewhere, right "now", if not
sooner.   Also, maybe I was a little bit naked.  Yeah, I know that's a
strange way of putting it, but the dream was vague on that point...
