I submitted a sentence on your site. Good luck on the installation.
Some further thoughts on my dreams:
I am now over four years out of high school. I have had plenty of interesting experiences and interactions and friendships and struggles and whatnot since then. I maintain friendships with a very small number of my high school classmates. However, this does not stop me from dreaming almost exclusively about kids I went to high school and about the actual building I went to high school.
In adventures I take in dreams, I often encounter or am accompanied by random people from my high school. I'm not even necessarily talking about friends I've since lost contact with, but random kids I hadn't talked to since fifth grade but would still see in the halls.
I often have dreams in which I am playing soccer with the boys I played soccer with on the school team. In the dreams I'm only playing with the boys that were in my graduating class, not people who were a year above or below me, even though I played with them at the same time as I did those kids exactly my age. My dream soccer players play remarkably similar to the way they played in life.
By far the dream I have most often is as follows: I am struggling with getting my locker unlocked, messing up and forgetting the combo, etc. By the time I'm done with my locker I have to rush out of the school to get the bus. At this point, either the buses are already pulling away or are gone, or I simply cannot figure out which one in the long line of buses is the one I am supposed to take. So I either walk home (a feat that would have been impossible in real life but in the dream there are shortcuts) or call my mother for help.
I find it odd that I still dream almost exclusively of high school and not of what happens to me in my life now.
