i think it's funny that "dreams where you're back in school" is such a common thing because while i DO occasionally have them, my apparently unique distinction from the typical cultural image, where you forgot to put on clothes or forgot you have a test and you have anxiety or whatever, is that not only am i back in school, but "school" is usually some sort of vast city of bronze and stone, long abandoned and clearly ancient, yet featuring curiously advanced machinery that allows one to ascend to the pinnacles of its towers and, in looking downward, take in the weblike turquoise veins of its waterways spreading out into an unthinkably distant horizon. and also a bunch of people i went to college with are there. usually the vibe is that we're on some sort of field trip
and while i wrote this for humor i would like to be clear that this is not me doing a bit. whether or not people from school are there varies, but i would say a good 80-90% of the dreams i remember having at least touch on wandering around large, empty, and mystifyingly complicated ancient cities. whatever!
