Epic

I dreamt that I was late for a new class at school. I couldn’t find the room number and then eventually went down a hallway that I hadn’t seen before the classroom number matched but the name of the course didn’t. There weren’t any desks left so I sat on the floor along the windows. In fact, a lot of the room was made of glass, almost like we were in a greenhouse. When I sat down the girl next to me commented because of my slacks and white shirt that I looked like a waiter. Eventually, the teacher called on me and I had to sit at a tall long table that was facing the rest of the classroom along with some other students who seemed to have been taking the class for a longer time, even though today was my first day I didn’t want to sit at the table because suddenly I was wearing a skirt and they offered me something to cover my legs with, but then I declined and sat down anyway. At some point I noticed that there were caged in pathways all around the classroom that had big cats in them like tigers and lions. As I was sitting at the table, I was offered some strange foods to eat some of which were raw meat, and also tofu which I wasn’t bothered by at all at one point it seemed like they were going to have me drink a specific shot of blood in a labeled vial, but then they changed their minds and I never found out the reason. We had to travel as a class to a different part of the school and there was a man in the class that had failed in some regard I couldn’t figure out. He didn’t seem like he had actually flunked the class, but that he had been given some sort of alternate assignment that involved maybe the big cats. And he wasn’t there, but we were talking about him as the class moved on as a group we were in a large moving cage that seemed to go in all directions and travel along a very creaky track. I remember commenting that it seemed like something out of Indiana Jones or other movies where people are in a coal mine going incredibly fast. At one point, the cage which was enclosed on all sides, dropped downward, like an elevator, and the man mentioned earlier who had failed an assignment was actually under the cage, and the class realized this as we crushed him to death and then nothing was mentioned about this ever again

Once we left the cage, the dream took on a video game like quality where each person had a particular skill or talent that was necessary for completing the adventure. We kept losing classmates as people would go down different hallways and become trapped, and then never seen again. The game seemed to be adding characters purely for the attention of an audience perhaps that we were unaware of so some of them were dressed to be more provocative. We did make it to a very large underground space that seemed to have a central point that was connected from floor to ceiling during this dream and it felt very scifi as opposed to the earlier more adventure or dystopian feel. I woke up and fell asleep again, multiple times, but always jumped back into the dream at different places. At one point in the dream, multiple classmates were chosen to be in pairs again due to some failure, this was a punishment, and some form of technology was used to force both people to become one person so that neither of them looked or felt entirely like their individual selves anymore. They were constantly at odds with their bodies and their minds. At a certain point, the dream shifted, and I was watching the dream as a television show that had been taped on a VCR and I swore that it was only going to be available on Wednesday nights, but then they said they were going to do a marathon on Monday nights but also we got the DVD of the television series but it was a season later than the season that we were watching and eventually I did wake up and I never found out how everything was resolved.
