Dream of: 17 November 2013 "Returning To School"
I walk up to the front of a high school. I'm here to see if I can return to school to complete the 12th grade which I never completed when I attended high school. I'm 79 years old, which I realize is very old to return to high school, but I've had this desire in my mind all my life and it seems as if now I'm finally going to do it.
I walk into the front of the school and enter an office. I sit down at a table with four high-school aged girls. Somehow the girls know why I'm here and one of them jokingly says that she objects to the whole idea. I go along with the joke and say, "Well then I'm just going to forget the whole thing."
When someone calls my name, I stand up and walk to a desk which is right here in front of everyone. I would rather go back into a private room to talk about this, but the gray-haired woman (probably in her late 50s) who is sitting at the desk appears ready to interview me right here and now. I ask her if she is the one with whom I need to talk, and she pleasantly responds, "Yes."
I explain to her that this idea might sound crazy, and that if she thinks its crazy, I'll just forget the whole thing. I proceed to explain how I want to return to the 12th grade. She appears astounded. She glances around the room which is filled with other administrative-type people. She finally says that she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't heard it herself. She asks me about my education and I think she's trying to find out if I completed the 12th grade at another school, but I'm a little confused by the question, and I respond that I did manage to attend college and law school. She seems impressed.
I tell her that I always liked going to school, but then I correct myself and tell her that that is not actually correct because I actually didn't like it when I was attending school.
I'm thinking that I'm living with my parents, which seems a bit odd for someone my age. Nevertheless, such is the case. I'm hoping the woman doesn't think I'm some kind of weirdo who simply wants to be around a bunch of high-school kids, because that isn't the case at all. I simply want to go back to school.
I'm getting the feeling that the woman doesn't think this is a good idea and I'm thinking that I'm simply going to turn around and leave. I still have this desire, however, which I simply can't seem to squelch.
