weird dream
Aug. 25th, 2017 08:09 amI posted this on the FB group for my highschool just now. Copying it here because it was too weird not to record:
Brains are really weird--I just woke up from a dream wherein the me that exists now was at a Steller that (I think) never existed (much larger, more elaborate building, yet I knew it was Steller), standing in a crowded (by Steller standards--there could have been 10 to 25 students present) classroom, when Heath Spott (as he looked when we were at Steller) came up to me and handed me an aluminium baking sheet and made a comment that the moment it recorded was not his best, ever. I picked it up and tilted it, and realized that if one holds it just so that, instead of reflecting (poorly) the room and people present, the light would reflect something like a photograph out of the metal.
When I tilted it the image resolved into a yearbook-like photo of a classroom scene, with a number of students in the foreground, and, just visible behind them, was Heath, fully dressed, lying on the floor, arching upwards, his shoulders in the hands of the (older, bearded) man behind him, who was pulling them upwards. Heath's arms were stretched out to the sides, and upon his face was an expression of extrem joy or pain. Somehow I knew in the dream that what had been happening at the moment the image was recorded on the baking sheet was that Heath was getting a therapeutic massage, but because of the people in the foreground blocking part of the action, it could also look like the man was engaged in a sexual activity with Heath which would have been inappropriate for a classroom setting.
When I (and everyone who was gathered around me), saw this, there was much laughter, and then one of them (it might have been Andrew Berkowitz, also looking like he did when we were at Steller) asked who the man behind Heath was. Heath gave a name, which in the dream meant something to me (but which my waking mind can't recall), and when the others said "who", I explained that he was a substitute teacher we had had, who looked remarkably like an older, bearded version of Heath.
I have no idea where this dream came from--other than seeing his name mentioned here some weeks back I haven't even thought of Heath in decades. And baking pan metal that is not only reflective, but photographic, and happens to have recorded something that (probably never) happened in the 1980's?
