Back to school after 14 years

Not sure, why i am so much obsessed with dreams, these days. I never think to dream, but somehow they have become a routine activity.

On a recent trip to Goa, i had to dream of going back to school after 14 looooong years.

Below is the sequence -

a) I go to a tuition center along with my friend (i know who this is) in a bike. The Master at the tuition center comes late. The students stand in line and then make arrangements to sit in rows. All students offer me food while my friend talks to his cousin over phone. I spot my bag on the loft and take them,after climbing on a stool.

b) Then, i travel in a bus to school. At school, I am called by the Principal and she offers a letter. I am asked to join the class immediately from the second period, which starts at 10.20am. I pass by a group of students and taught to wear the exit badges and scarfs. Then, i see a lift, the entry to which can be on either side. Students and teachers rush to enter into the lift. There are girls who hold the railings of the lift and climb up the floor. The bangles of these girls strike against the wall to produce a spark of fire. I am asked to go to room no 19. One of my friends from office (i know who this is), who is also a student there, helps me with the directions to room 19 and tells me that she will meet me in the class. She holds a file and a book in her right hand. Outside the room, i see 3 girls fighting with each other and 2 boys approach me and start a conversation. I see the room deserted with tables, chairs and sofa. This room leads to another classroom, which is fully decorated with flowers, a showcase with trophies and momentos, photos all over the wall. In one of the photos, i see my colleague, who died in a road accident, married to a girl from this class. I am told that the girl died along with him while on their trip to honeymoon. The school looks like Maharishi Vidya Mandir (I studied here until 8th), while the teachers are from Jawahar Vidyalaya (i studied here until 10th). I prepare an introductory script - An old student of this school, with 10 yrs of experience and as i would want to learn new things, i joined this school again.

Though i was aware of the feeling i had the whole day, i am unaware if that had triggered this.

Dreams Unlimited.
