I Dreamt

It was either Saturday night or Sunday night.

=======
I was in my 2nd year of uni education. In NTU.

It was the first day of school and I had a lecture cum tutorial. It was English Literature.
And I had to go to one of the rooms in the South Spine. (In NTU, there really is a South Spine block)

I reached South Spine early enough. But I couldn't find the room. I kept walking in circles.
I kept climbing up and down the stairs, from ground floor to fourth floor and then back down again. To no avail.

I couldn't find the room and I was desperate. There were a handful of others around but they somehow ignored me. I kept walking and running around. I was sweaty and "kancheong" at being very late. I was nervous and jittery.

And then finally somehow, I managed to find the room. It was on the thirs floor, in a corner where I walked past many times. I remember thinking to myself in the dream...it's impossible, I walked past that room so many times and it was labelled as the classroom which I was supposed to be in!!

Nevertheless, I brushed aside my uncertainties and went into the room. It turned out to be a huge lecture hall...lots of chairs with those tables which you can flip open or fold in and keep it.

The lecture was already midway through and it was a Caucasian who was speaking. A bearded man...not very tall..dressed in a light blue long-sleeved shirt and black pants. He had on a headset with a mike.....much like what those outdoor salesmen wear when they are doing a demonstration with a cooking pot or something..

Surprisingly, there were lots of bags around on the seats. Most were opened, like as if someone had taken their pencil cases and books out of them and just left the bags there on the seats...

But I could only see a few students sparsely populating the seats. Much less students than there were bags. Some of the students were just sitting and staring at the lecturer. Some were busy taking notes...Others, wel..I could see their bags, but I couldn't see them at all....

I remember thinking also....why can't I hear him speaking?? Him as in the lecturer...I can see his OHP notes..but I can't hear him??!!

And then...

The dream ended....:(
