My subconscious is unhinged. In this episode of WTF we go back to High School.
My memory of this dream begins with me (at the age I am now) walking through the halls of my High School. It's familiar but not. I've been back to the school recently and its very modern and updated. But I feel really short. Or like everything is bigger? Not sure.
So I am in my 40's back in high school...what is happening? So I am walking with books in my arms trying to find my classes. Seriously WTF is going on.
The first class I went to was psychology (that checks out for me). In my class I recognize a bunch of girls that I went to HS with, and guys I knew in HS, along with one girl I am still close with but she went to another HS. She told me "if I'm doing HS again, I am doing it with y'all!". Then there are a bunch of guys (weird, I went to an all girls school) and girls I don't recognize. The ones I didn't know all looked at me, like stared, as I walked in (WTF).
The next class was upstairs but the stairs were HUGE and there was no railing so I was having an issue going up the stairs. When I get close to the top, the top two stairs flatten out into a ramp and I can't get up it. The teacher (in robes) told a girl at the top to help me. She is tugging my arm (not very helpful) and says "I can't she's too fat!" again WTF.
This class is in an auditorium (which my HS doesn't have). It was astronomy. And I sat in the back but the teacher kept calling on me and making me uncomfortable because the people in the class I didn't know were the ones watching me. The people I knew were looking down taking notes.
It skipped around a bit and I was at a tiki bar (?) with hubs and a bunch of peeps from school. I was introducing him to my HS friends and we were playing pool...I think. It was a weird game but looked like pool.
We walked up to the bar to get a drink and I knew two of the guys at the bar. But they weren't people from HS or any of the peeps from dream school I didn't know. I knew them from school in the dream but like also knew them knew them... it was weird. So we are waiting for our drinks and the guy closest to me is teasing me about something and nudging me. Hubs was like what is going on and I explain whatever the joke is and he was like "y'all are weird". As we are all talking I keep thinking "I know him. I know him. Who is this". But I couldn't see his face. It was like a tickle in my brain.
The other guy was talking to hubs over us about football or something. And the one closest to me was like "I'm worried about you." What, why?!?!?! I was leaning on my elbows on the bar and I distinctly remember him putting his hand on my arm and saying "you need to be careful, please promise me you'll be careful". And that's when I really focused on his hands. He had smallish hands for a guy, a black.gray wedding ring, hairy arms, and tanish skin. Why does this look familiar?!?!?!?!? I don't usually remember people's f**king hands, who is this??!?!
Something happens behind us and I am knocked into hubs. He puts his arms around me and when I look back to the guy next to me I see something, but its blurry, like I can't focus. I see light eyes looking sad. He grabs my hand and says "did you hear me, you need to be careful! They are watching you." What?!?! Who??!!?!? And then I recognize the voice. I know that voice. I talk with that voice almost daily. We work together. We are friends. Why can't I see you?!?!!?
It jumps again and I am back in school. It's like an art class or a lab...I can't tell, there are two people to a table. I recognize some people but then there are those "Others". I still don't know why we all had to go back to school but its not normal school. Something is different.
The teacher tells us to get into groups of four. The girl at my table I have known since 1st grade. She hops up and goes to our other friends we all went to grammar school with. I am odd man out but there is a table of "others" behind me that need another person. Its two guys and a girl. One guy was blonde, tall and muscular skinny. The other was dark haired, and more broad muscular. The girl had long wavy red hair and was VERY pretty. Honestly all stupidly attractive. So I join them.
They looked almost goth but not...also kinda grunge. It's hard to explain. They were actually VERY accepting but were also some of the ones that just kinda stared at me in other classes. We were doing some sort of group project and kinda became friends (?). They'd told me things. I don't remember the things but I know I knew secrets I shouldn't know. It jumped again and we were at someones house. But it was older. Like looked like a house from the late 80's, early 90's.
This group project was some sort of magic (?) but the peeps in my group were very certain the teacher was up to something and it was dark magic. It was bad and we needed to stop. But if we didn't do the project we'd fail. If we failed we would be put in a "camp" (seriously WTAF).
The blonde was acting the weirdest of all. Apparently we'd become very close. He had stormed off and the others were like, He'll only listen to you. So I followed him into a dark room. I couldn't see anything and he said from the darkness, you shouldn't be here. What if I hurt you. And I said "you wouldn't hurt me".
He pinned me against a wall with unnatural speed. He leaned into my personal space and almost growled "are you scared yet?". And I said "I'm not scared of you". He leaned in next to my left ear and said "you should be". And then sank his fangs into my neck.
I woke up but not in a panic. I still wasn't scared. Because the feeling I felt when he bit me wasn't fear. It was like I was helping a friend.
So that is my weird @$$ dream of the month. It's a lot to unpack...not even gonna try right now.
