Photo at my desk

Date: 1/5/2025

In my dream, I stepped away from my desk, and came back to find a whole bunch of guys surrounding my desk. I seemed to know them in my dream, but not all of them I know in real life. They may have been former classmates from ages 9-14 (grades 5-9). They liked my photo and each added their own photos around my desk. The photos seemed to be uniform somehow, like everyone was wearing the same color shirt or posing against the same color background, myself included. They saw me walk by and I waved, but didn’t want to disturb the spontaneous meeting they seemed to be having. They handed me someone’s smartphone and asked me to take a photo of them by my desk. I stepped back and tried fitting them all in the frame. It took an extra few seconds. I told them on the count of 3, and as they smiled, a couple blatantly stepped into the frame. The band of guys then unposed as if the photo was a success. I told them to wait, I wasn’t finished. I pointed to the couple who continued walking and said they stepped into the picture and they needed to repose. Some were cooperative and the rest either didn’t hear me or thought it was one and done. The moment had passed and the photo opportunity was ruined.
