Manifestation of desires

i’ve never been in a jungle trekking expedition. No compass and map, fieldpack, boots, rifle and sweat. I wanted to have done it though. I’ve been to school. Corridors and assembly, tennis,friends, classes and homework. I would like to be doing that again though.

In a weird amalgamation of wants, I relieved them. In a bizzare manner. Scarry how twisted my desires manifests. The dream goes like this:

Thick foliage, hardly any light marks the mud that we trudge along on. (we being random people from school, camp) a trickle of light passes occasionally, tainted emerald but even so artificial seeming. Gates, wide gates and a ramp leading to a grand foyer.

School. We chat and hang around, horse around a little. Than the national anthem blares. A whole legion of people whom I know stand at attention. Singing the national anthem, but all seemingly distant and aloof. Half zombied. Just another day, just another assembly, no attachment only obligation.

The principal drones on. Announcement after announcement. Nothing interesting, only routine. My attention falls unto the side gate linking parade square to the jungle around. A small group of people linger there. Small, shrewish people. His voice booms (I’m not particularly sure who “his” refers to) “Have a good day! and you guys at the side gate are late, and SHITES!”

So the whole gathering echoed “SHITES!”.

In my mind this school was Victoria. There is no link that I can think of, apart from my boss coming from Victoria. But even in the dream, I thought, thank god I’m an ACSian.

Now, I was just telling a bloke about my dream, he said I ought to seek help interpreting it. However he did say, if there isn’t any meaning to it, his dream owns mine. Ja! Vampires chasing him around!
