hot for teacher

In an effort to purge these from my brain, here goes a week’s worth of dreams:

Last night:

Multiple dreams, but the one that stays with me is that I was at dinner with my sister and her family and a guy sat down at our table. He was a dirty-looking man. My sister assumed he was homeless, and offered to buy him a steak dinner. I was thinking about how generous she was, and how I wished I could be more like that when he informed her that he wasn’t homeless or dirty, he was black, and it was weird of her to assume he was homeless, because all of a sudden he was well groomed and in nice clothes. Awk-ward. Anyway, he said he came over because he wanted to talk to me. He asked me out and we later went on a date. I had morphed into an ugly girl, like the lady on Britain’s got talent that everybody is talking about. It turned out he was in finance, and he took me to like Enterprise Square, all financial hands-on type exhibits, with lots of flashing lights and such. I was very amused. He drug me away from the exhibits, and the date was over, I thought pleasantly for everyone.

Back to my normal self, I’m teaching a class of adults, but we’re in a grade school classroom. I had given them an assignment, and was going over the work I had gotten so far, but the adults were rowdy, and they were pushing my buttons. One person needed more paper, but all I had were these half pages. The frustration level in the classroom continued to rise, and I was fed up, so I went over to the windows and opened them. A storm was approaching, I could tell it was about to rain, the wind blew in one window and out the other, despite being on the same wall. Immediately the tension in the room eased. I remember thinking that people can get a little crazy when it’s about to storm and fresh air always helps. The class seemed to agree.

We had a cupboard with a pet area, it appeared that we had managed to kill off two of our pets. They were gone. One was a mouse/hamster, but I don’t remember the other one. The rabbit was left. A zookeeper type guy came in and said he wanted to introduce our bunny to another bunny, a male bunny. He wanted to know if ours was a female bunny. He told me that all the younger classes had a female bunny, and they were all named Bimbo. He went on to tell me that she was a lion, and he was a tiger, so we might get a liger out of the deal.

The phone rang across the room, and I went to answer it. It was my financial beau, and he said that with the military, his full time job, and school he just didn’t have time to date. I turned around and the class had become my AFB class, and told them I just got dumped because he didn’t have time. I had been dating one of the students too, apparently, because he chose that moment to tell me he was having the same problem, and he was going to have to break up with me too. Another member of the class asked me out, and I knew what was coming, a joke about breaking up with me because he was too busy.

Nevermind a week’s worth. One dream was too long. I’ll try to come back and purge more later.
