I went to high school in the 90s, so its been a very long time. I dreamt I was living back in the house I grew up with my foster parents. I feel that I knew this in my dream. Im looking for my school uniform in a wardrobe. I remember this is where we kept our clothing & uniform when I was last there. I find school skirts & white shirts. I need 2 of each, but I only find one shirt & skirt belonging to me. I need to find more, but the other white shirts have floral patterns down into them around the neck area & this won't do as my shirt needs to be plain & white. I then wake up, but shortly go back to sleep. I go back into the dream & now Im in school sitting in the cloakroom area with many other students. I know I haven't been to school in a while & realise Im not sitting with my old school friends. I look around to see if they are sitting elsewhere, but I dont see them. Then my dream skips to later in the day at school & Im now sitting in a different part of the cloakroom area. I look over & see my old friend group sitting together. I become annoyed because they have made no attempt to approach me or even acknowledge me. I myself decide not to go to them because I remember how they had failed me badly back in the 90s when we were last at school at how they had excluded me then (this really happened). I then noticed that one of them is sitting next to me & after a while she acknowledges me. I show annoyance to how the rest of the group has been towards me & when she makes excuses for them, I snap at her & accuse her of being no better. My dream then skips to me going to assembly & not knowing where to sit because I feel like I can no longer sit with this group of friends & frankly I dont want to sit with them or have anything to do with them. However, I dont want to look awkward & a loner. My dream then skips to the next day with me & a friend making our way to the assembly hall, but we are late. We didn't want to walk in late because we would get into trouble & shamed in front of the school, so I told my friend we should hide in the toilets. Before we had a chance, a teacher caught us & without thinking first, I pretended to be in pain. My friend joined in. The teacher asked me what was wrong. I told her I was ill from severe period pain. She didn't believe my pain could be that severe & ordered us to assembly, but I refused. I got mad at the teacher & told her my period pain is that severe. That I suffer badly because I have fertility issues, which is true. I was just lying about the pain in that moment. I then lectured my teacher over her ignorance before waking up.
