Dream Trek

Six years in the future. I planned to relive my childhood, fixing all of my mistakes. Later on, I was in a diner, and I asked if they sold cigarettes. I showed the clerk my ID, which was issued 10 years in the future. She agreed to sell me cigarettes. The dream ended with me desperately trying to come back to the future.

Elaborating on the classroom scene:
I argued with my teacher, during the argument she cussed at me, and I cussed back, but didn't get in trouble. While trying to play RuneScape, I downloaded SwiftSwitch, and found that it had many vulgar "Hacker Subculture" elements to it. Curse words and the such in the coding, etc. RuneScape showed an error when I tried to play it that was incomprehensible. The English-German dictionary was a key part of the dream in that I seemed to have it with me the entire time.

Elaborating on the diner scene:
I don't know why I was suddenly in a diner, or why they sold cigarettes. I neglected to mention that the clerk offered to give me the cigarettes on Tab, but I declined to accept the offer because I had no guaranteed source of income and therefore no collateral to pay her back. This is something I do often in real life because I am unemployed. The dream ended when I sat down on the sidewalk and began to think about the seriousness of the situation I was in. I had gone back in time, smoked, but was underage - and I had no money and had to go through school again. I began worrying about how I was going to cope with reliving my childhood - how I could make the most of it, and then I woke up.
