Time/Atmosphere: Perhaps 7 AM EDT. / Still very dark, appears as though rain had just come through
General Notes: This dream remains sort of unclear, as I didn't do what I should have done to remember this dream the best I could. Certain images remain vivid, but most are still distorted.
This one starts as I'm in a bus sitting at the parking lot (if you can, pull up the map page and examine the bottom level map for the parking lots). The teens on my bus haven't left bus yet, as we have a habit of waiting until the bus is adjacent to the dropoff area before leaving (“we” hate walking)…I look outside and see very little, as it is very dark outside. My mind comes to the start time for school, 8 AM. This may seem normal, but today is the first day of school at a facility foreign to my eyes. After some time passes, I exit the bus, and enter the school.
In stark contrast to the ancient school we actually go to, this one appears state of the art. Computer screens adorn the wide halls; the paint and air are fresh like Old Spice. I'm very impressed. Although I still don't know my way through the building, I find my way to the other side of the school and the cafeteria. The cafeteria is massive, perhaps 200 feet long by about 75 feet, as I can see when I enter through a corner of the room. I see Kalin at my end of the cafeteria and walk over to him. We exchange pleasantries and sit down nearby. As I look down the 200-foot room, I see a little skit going on at the stage. We compare schedules and a couple of other things I can't remember, and then I split off. Apparently now I'm looking for Sathya. Although I would fail to notice this until much later in the dream, I left all of my belongings in the cafeteria!
I return most of the way I entered, until I make a sudden right and proceed up a 20-rung flight of stairs to the Literature hall. Looking ahead, I see three people sitting on the floor on the left side of the hall, and not far from them sits another staircase. I have no concrete idea as to why I headed to this hall, just a premonition. Proving my suspicions correct, I run into three of her friends sitting on the floor outside a classroom. Two of them are listed in the character profiles above, but I cannot recognize the third one. Emily, Abby, and I exchange pleasantries, and I ask of Sathya's whereabouts. None of them know the answer, and I head for the nearby staircase.
I'm momentarily hesitative about leaving, so I return to ask a question. When I look back at the trio, they attack me, lifting me off the ground. In disbelief and total helplessness, I find myself thrown headfirst down the staircase. Ouch.
The dream skips, and now I'm wandering down some hallway. I'm lost, and really have no hope. To make matters worse, I hear the 7:55 bell. The hallways are clear (the students are all in class by now) and school starts in five minutes. I'm still without my belongings, and I run at least 200 yards around the school looking for the cafeteria.
I check my watch again. It's 7:59, and still no luck.
And, rattled by sharp pains in my back, I wake up.
