School Dreams

Last night I had a dream about high school. This is by no means the first dream I've had. It's just the first time in a while that I remembered not only it, but it made me remember other dreams that I couldn't remember upon waking. In last night's dream, I dreamed I was in a class and I was starving. I had a bagel hidden in a large purse or it could have been my backpack. I kept sneaking it out & taking a bite of it, then drop it back in. Then class was over and it was time for lunch. Yeah, apparently I just couldn't wait. I left the class and went towards the cafeteria, except I could not go in. It was already packed inside & I had to wait in the hallway with a whole lot of other students. I was standing near a wall and still taking sneaking bites of my bagel only this time I'd managed to put some butter on it. I looked around & saw KR & MB loitering a few feet away so I headed towards them but then they disappeared into the crowd and I saw my older sister sitting on a couch in a corner that never existed in real life. She was not actually talking to any of the other people and I headed towards her, but there were so many students it took me time to get there.

As I finally got to her, she stood up & said she was going outside so I followed her. Then I was outside. There were a bunch of people out there, too. I was headed toward where some cars were parked when I pretty much woke up.

In my dreams about the cafeteria, one of the "walls" is actually sections of safety glass in which one can walk down the hallway & be able to see in to the cafe.
Other dreams I've had concerning high school are ones in which I get to class & there is "pop" quiz. The questions are written on the blackboard and we have to write the answers on a piece of paper that is handed out to us. The whole time I can't keep my eyes open. I do everything I can to open them, first to read the question, then to write my answer. But I can't write while keeping the lids of both eyes propped open.

Others include being in a classroom, the bell rings to indicate the end of the school day & I walk out & go looking for my locker. I end up at the top of the stairs in front of the front entrance. Everyone is headed out the doors. I have to make my way out & get on a bus, but there are so many people it takes me a long time. Once outside, I can't find the bus I'm supposed to be on. Sometimes I get on a bus, but I'm not sure if it's the right one. I ask someone where the bus goes. Sometimes it's where I'm supposed to go, other times it isn't & I have to get off & find the right one.

It all reminds me of another dream I just recently had that I couldn't remember upon waking. It also involved a school bus except I was the driver. I had just picked up a bunch of students from the side of a road and headed towards a school. I didn't know where the school was, but I was able to follow another bus. I turned left at an intersection, then turned right into the parking lot of the school. It was a small school & there was a wooded area on both sides of the bus. I pulled up to let the children off, but then I had to turn around to get back out onto the road. Except there was very little room to turn a full-size bus around so it took me time & other bus drivers were getting impatient because their students were going to end up late getting off by the time they could pull up to the doors. That is all I remember.
