Back to School, Dreamed 6-28-10

I was at a school in Maryland for summer classes. It was sort of a performing arts school but not in a traditional sense, it is hard to explain. I was flying (like a superhero) through the campus. It was like an amusement park, there was a roller coaster and the big swings.

I got to the class; there were 2 rows of folding chairs set up. We were watching one of the students perform. She was in the center of a carousel. Instead of horses there were people standing against the poles where the horses should be. She did some sort of dance/lip syncing routine. She didn't get very far into the routine, claiming that it was all she had learned. She also blamed the people on the carousel for screwing up their part… which was just standing against the poles.

After the show a few of the professors came by to welcome us to the school. We were inside of a building now. The professors were taller than normal people, maybe 7 or 8 feet tall. One was wearing a smoking jacket. He said we could stay in his room anytime we wanted. His room was like a lobby in one of the campus buildings. His bed was a fancy, older looking couch with a red and gold paisley pattern. I told him that that was inappropriate. One of the other teachers who didn’t like smoking jacket guy was happy that someone spoke up against the other teacher. He went away to check if students were allowed to stay in the other teacher’s room and found out that they were allowed.

My boyfriend and I got really mad and started lecturing the other students. We were telling them how very few of them would actually work in the performing arts and that they should get useful degrees like engineering like he and I had. The teachers and other students weren’t really happy with us.

At some point he and I were in another location and there was a wooden shack. They fired a cannon and the building collapsed. We put the building into cloth bags (like the ones the cloth lawn chairs come in). It was in the form of a bunch of connected poles.
