Last night I dreamed the same theme, same setting, and same frustration of trying to get out of it all night long. Very bizarre!

I'm in a huge school in which I'm trying to get from one place to another. I'm working in my capacity as a teacher's aide and I'm either late for the next class or I can't find my student.

At one point, I end up in a teleconference room where a man who reminds me of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean hands me a green sweater that I insist it is not mine and he tells me that he was instructed to give it to me. I head to a flight of stairs where there is a red sign above the archway that reads "Medical." I puzzled by this because I didn't know the school had a hospital wing in it. I go downstairs and see my student crying and telling the receptionist at the front desk that he's really sick and wants to go home. He exits the door and I follow him out, only to find myself in another corridor.

I go down another flight of stairs in this corridor with green lockers and I figure I must be in the basement and now have to climb all the way up to the main floor. As I try to do this however, the stairway is so narrow that it will only hold one foot at a time. Now it is getting steeper as well.

I step back down to review my options when I see the walls are literally closing in, like a compactor at junk car lot. I run like hell to get to the clearing but too late. I stand there and begin to feel the wall pinning me to the other one when I wake up. mg:
