I had a dream about school recently. Except instead of classrooms, there was a lake, and instead of desks, there were row boats of 2-3 people, with a person in the water behind, who would help quickly propel the boat forward. And instead of teachers, there were guides, wearing life vests. Who am I kidding, they’re still teachers.

The students were meant to navigate the lake at certain land points(Iceberg, large floating piece of ice). Tall ice cliffs surrounded much of the body of water.

Also, there were big-ass whales and catfish with bloodthirsty maws, who also were in this body of water. Also, presumably, meant to be navigated.

In that dream, my fate lay as one of the people meant to be in the boat. Yup, yuans goodness. Couldn’t handle this otherwise. But, I’m all the way at the back, which makes me feel prone to falling, still, into multiple death-chans. I was understandably not feeling preppy.

We navigate one land point, when a whale with a maw that looked as though it could be stuffed with five students snaps out of the water in a beautiful jump. Death-chan, you’re beautiful. Haha, ha….ha….No.

We keep going to the next area, with the whale (whaleshark, or nah, maybe do not eat people, irl, but here, in dream world, they are the equivalent of Jaws).

It trails us 2-6 feet deep in liquid depths. We stop near a floating piece of ice to get our bearings.

The rest of the time, we spend it pushing our boat like hell till we complete the adventure of the landmarks of death. Sweating all the way, that’s for sure!

The landscape fades and another gradually comes up into being. A place with dirt for a shore, and mangroves, and sea. A winding dirt path steeps upward in the waters, with several obstacles. Which will be gotten to in a paragraph or two.

I chat with some old couple there: for what, I dunno. I believe in the end it concerned those obstacles among that narrow dirt path between the shores, and it seems I am to go through them and come back relatively unscathed. So I started walking onto the dirt path with sea on both sides, when I started running as there were white tigers in the turf and roaming over and off the path. They looked kinda hungry, and the water probably hid some other dangerous sea creatures, so I had decided on braving the makeshift road. As the path got steeper, there were overhanging trees, so I had to duck in case of spiders, snakes, whatever the fuck I didn’t want on me. After those three trees, the path ahead had some more trees, after a bare stretch of land with nothing except blue sky overhead, which is now looking much more like a jungle. Supposedly, I didn’t sense very nice things in there that would appreciate calm or panicky intruders, and decided to head back the way I came.

And then I came to.

For some reason, when I woke up, unable to recall much, I thought I finally dreamt about animals. The less vicious ones commonly seen daily. Lol, nope! As usual, it’s a dream where I’m running. (Walking too, I guess.) At least this time, I got to know what I was running from.Usually, that fact's more obscure.

Possible dream interpretation? My high school nightmares are being replaced by ones about college. Yikes! On the bright side, I’m noticing more key problems and obstacles.Always helpful in hunting them down.

Hopefully. Haha….
