In Dreams

      Dave was late and we began to wonder what was keeping him, so I drove over to the school, where we thought he was hitting golf balls.  As I drove into the parking lot, he was just leaving, so I went to turn my  car around.  But I was unable to see out the windows, front or side.  Either the windows were fogged up or, worse I thought, it was my eyes that were foggy.  I started to worry, but as Dave drove by, he rolled down his window and told me I was driving on the lawn. At that, the fog lifted and I was able to see to drive home.
      I needed to go back though later, because I had to pick up the things in my classroom, as the session was ending; at least for me it was.  I found my things, a large beach umbrella and an American flag, both large-sized items.  I thought they would probably be thrown away if I left them there.
      I brought the items down to  the office to check them out.  The office looked just as it always had, years ago. The office workers there the same, several people.  But before I went into  the office, I found myself rubbing my forehead, trying to remove the red splotch I knew was there, because I had fallen asleep at the computer with my head on the desk. I didn't want to appear injured or disfigured.  I brought the smaller item, the flag, out to my car, but left the umbrella there, thinking I could either  store it there until next session or else bring it home later.
         I never did find out what became of the umbrella though, because I woke up sitting at the computer with my forehead on the wooden desk. Undoubtedly if I'd checked in the mirror, I would have seen a red splotch.  But I didn't look.
