I had a slightly less weird dream last night.
It began in a classroom. It was night – It was dark and I could see stars out of the window. I can’t remember the lessons we were learning, possibly it was astronomy but I am not really all that sure. There were at least five of us. Me, Andy from work (who was being a dick as per usual) a girl who seemed to be a friend and a couple of others. The teacher was a man. Got no other details on him. He may or may not have ben wearing a tweed suit. The classroom had an odd familiar feeling to it…like one of the portacabins at my old primary school or something, only it wasn’t a portacabin, it was in an upper floor of this big building. Anyway, whatever the lesson was, we were all at a hexagonal table. I don/t remeber the details (why can I never remember the good bits?) I am really upset by Andy. My friend the girl tries to be a peace maker of sorts, but then he does it again, just as the teacher walks back into the room. I shout/scream something like ‘I can’t take it any more!’ and ever so maturely (not) stormed out of the class and into the coridoor. I find a nice little alcove with a wall of smooth, shiny plastic like substance (it was orange) and end up sobbing, my head resting on the plastic. Noone comes looking for me (not surprising given the hissy fir I threw) I finish crying and then decide to return to the class and act like nothing had happened. They act like nothing had happened. The the teacher tells us that we are going on a field trip to italy. This suggests to me that the lesson may have been on either volcanology/archaeology/roman history. We get all excited and leave the classroom. Then the dream shifts.
We are going into a ferry terminal. I appear to have won £500 of marks and spencers vouchers and I keep asking how I won them and stuff (but this may be later in the dream, I really want to tell yuou about the incident going /into/ the terminal – so funny.
There is a queue and all my class friends seem to have disappeared inside there are several ships and only one going to italy, others are going to the balearics, and somewhere south (it appears we are in Wtaly already. We were in a city that started with a V (Verona?) and the ferry we get oto is also going to a place starting with a V (can’t remember the name now). SO I am in the queue, and theres a guy in front of me. The security guards are going through their list of passengers when something happens and he gets arrested. Apparently he had won a competition to go to the balearics, only the stupid idiot was packing something like two million (pounds?euros? dollars?) worth of coain or other drugs in his suitcase. ANyway, whatever happens, the woman with the checklis looks at me and gives me his seat (I have therefore won a holiday by default) which I am perfectly happy to go along wiht (who wouldnt?).
I can’t remember what happened between getting into the ferry terminal (which I got a good dream-panoramic view of 9and also a dream birds eye view of) and get onto a ferry. my schgool friends are there also. then we realise we are on the /wrong/ boat and rush to get on the one going to Italy not the place starting wiht a V. It’s too late (for me at least) I am leaning against the rail when the boat starts out. School friends have disappeared. I go inside and eventually we land on an island.
The island (supposedly in the balearics – but actually in the carribean (how did that happen?) was quite sparsely populated and had odd rusty brown and only a little green vegetation. I end up going off on a cliff walk and it really is at the /very/ edge of the cliffs which have metal bars attached to the edge to stop you falling over. I am going waay too fast and almost overtop a barrier, then I slow down as I come to a cove with a steep dirt track to get down to it. I climb down slowly and carefully. It has the most gorgeous view. There was also a heather plant (a rare species apparently and I just /had/ to go pick a sample lol) with the most fluorescent purple/pink flowers. It was quite cool.
Then I got down to the beach, went for a swim (gods the current was strong! had to striuggle to get ashore (by which time I had been joined by some others including a lad who also went swimming wiht me). The dream ends with us being held prisoner in this concrete…looked like one of those world war two octagonal bunker things that they used to protect/house the anti aircraft guns. Our jailer comes in, theres some discussion as to the futility of escape, and then theres a view of the boy swimming in the cove -0 andother lad is with him and then the dream faded.
