i can only repeat my dreams

i've got some sort of sinus cold today. it's acting on that part of my brain that controls my dreams. i was having a lot of strange dreams this morning.

i was wearing the t-shirt i've got on right now - an old college t-shirt with lots of holes in it - especially in the collar. but i was wearing this shirt backwards and i kept adjusting it. i wore it with a zip up fleece so that no one would notice the holes.

i was walking around my old college but it wasn't my college at all (and no, the fry bar didn't play into this dream). i was with a friend from high school who also went to my college. and we were with her friends, visiting our old dorms and such. but then i didn't want to go into one of them, and stumbled off to the corner of the yard where i saw a green garden hose and a giant area for sliding (a la the famous slip'n'slide).

after that i wandered over to another table where a bunch of friends from high school who didn't go to my college were hanging out. they all had haircuts. all of them. one of them (who had gone off to medical school) was going to be enrolling for a semester. i told her we should hang out (as i was now going to this school in my dream). she thought i told her we should freak out and that made her a bit nervous. then i walked back toward my house, not wanting to bother them anymore. i passed by the campus center and started getting chills and filling with anxious thoughts because now that i'd re-enrolled in my college, on campus mailboxes weren't guaranteed for all four years. that meant i'd have to get my mail at my house. and if you lived where i lived during college that meant you'd be getting mail there for at least the next ten years.
