A couple of nights/mornings ago I had a strange dream and it's been bugging me a lot to know what it means.... so I'm going to post as much of it as I can here and gather your insight if you wish. It's summer holidays right now, and there's only about 2 weeks left until school start's again, so usually you have dreams of going back to school (or at least I do, lol). Anyway, my dream takes place on the first day back.
Ok, the dream starts with me in my grandparents car, and one of my grandparents driving, although my mum was in the car too (my grandparents are still alive). We were driving down the road my school is on, except it was a lot wider, and was a lot busier. Well we were driving past my school, which is on the left but I didn't take notice of it, so I didn't really recognise it, probably because I was feeling nervous. We got to the gate where you have to turn to get into the school but to my surprise it was only a short driveway with two other drives leading off it. I thought that during the holidays the school had changed a few things, so I quickly told my mum (who was somehow driving now) to turn into the first driveway leading from it but it was a dead end, there was a building to the left of the drive and rubble up ahead. At that point I was really nervous and worried for some reason. So she backed out of it and was going to try the second one but we noticed it was fenced off. So the next thing I know, we're back on the main road looking for a way to get in to school... and one of my grandparents is driving again :/ So we're trying a couple of non-existent sidestreets for a way to get in to no avail, and after a couple times, going back and forth on the main road I just told them to drop me off and they did with no questions.
So now I had to find a way to get into school by myself, so I walked down a sidestreet looking for a way to get into school and found myself in a residential area, I think it might have been a court, but there was more than one street, my memory of it is all is all hazy. I just remember there being nice colourful houses... and plenty of green, trees, flowers, etc. There was also a group of people my age sitting and talking on the curb, not really looking at me, just glancing occasionally. They were in casual clothes (I was in school uniform, cos school's here have uniform) and I didn't recognise any of them. So I find myself walking through people's back gardens, trying to find a way into school, but I was lost. I was really worried on one hand for being late for 10:29 PM 20/01/2003the first day back, and on the other, thinking what the hell is going on. So I'd say for about 1-2 hours I'm trying to find a way to get to school, at the same time being scared, worried and feeling lost and alone.
Eventually I get to school through the back somehow and the first building I see and the only building I really notice was my classroom, somehow I knew. It was all black and it was up on stilts I think... well it was above ground and there was a ladder to get up through a round hole in the wooden floor (like a treehouse). So I climbed the ladder and when I was halfway through the floor, I looked straight up and saw a male teacher and I realised I was interrupting the class. I didn't see anyone I knew. The teacher looked slightly annoyed, but not concerned and he asked for my name. This scene was like a black and white movie, and the teacher was dressed like he was in the military. I told him my name, and he wrote it on the blackboard in the corner.. except he wrote my first name, then wrote my surname exactly on top of it. Then he told me I had to go to kindergarten, which I thought was weird, but I went a long with it. For some reason I had to pass a test for each grade to advance back to my current grade. The next thing I knew, I was in kindergarten (still in black and white), but there wasn't any little kids, and I didn't really take notice of my surroundings, except I did notice toys on the ground. I was standing still in the middle of the room, while everyone there was moving around and seemed in a hurry to do something.
.. and that's when I woke up.
