I had a very strange dream last night. Naturally, if it were not a strange dream I probably wouldn’t be writing about it. But I digress.
Anyway, it took place over my lunch break in the cafeteria of my Elementary School.
Here is that school:
Anyway, as I was saying it was over lunch break. I was there with three guys I work with. This may or may not be important, but they were my friend Aaron (who is a devout Jew. He wears the Yamaka, has a foot long beard, and reads lots of books with Hebrew on the covers on his break. On a side note he’s moving to Chicago to become an Accountant. How’s that for a Jewish stereotype?), my friend Kevin (the 38 year old punk rocker), and my friend Scott who actually doesn’t even work there now because he got a programming job.
So we go our lunches and sat down at a table and were immediately swamped with 8 and 9 year old kids who just looked at us funny.
That’s when I noticed I recognized some of the kids. Mike was one of them, equipped with that wedge hair cut he had through most of elementary school. Alan Livermore and Todd Rieper were there with their wave bangs in full effect. The McElroy sisters were there and still indistinguishable from one another, and various others who’s names I don’t even need to mention as most of you won’t know who I’m talking about.
It was a strange dream and it kind of made me wonder what I was thinking about or remembering.
Even stranger, the building was larger in size than I know it to be. It was almost as if it were as large as I remember it being when I was 7, only on the height scale I use now for measuring my world.
So strange, but it was a nice dream. And I didn’t wake up in a cold sweat or anything.
