It's That Dream Again

Hi All,
So I have this recurring dream I've been trying very hard to understand for years now. I even put a variation on the dream in my first novel. I wrote a poem about it too. It 'could' mean nothing, I suppose, but since I seem to have it a lot, I think there's got to be something there. As you may or may not know, I love dream interpretation. My dear friend Jasmine once said, after I asked her for a meaning behind such a dream, 'It's just a frggin' dream! Let it go!'

But I can't let it go! It keeps creeping into my head and is never answered. I was really angry this morning when I woke up before it ended! Grrr.... But anyway, I've mentioned this dream before online...not sure if I have mentioned it here...but it's like this:
I'm always in high school
Always late for class, but don't even know what the class is; it's one I have not been to all year
Always without any books, which I need from my locker
So I go to the locker, hurrying...and I have no idea what the combination is
So there I stand, unable to get there and unable to open the locker

But there have been variations.
Once I got it open!
And once I made it to class on time.
So I thought, 'Whatever I was looking for, I must have found it.'
But I've had the dream since then.
Like last night; a new twist: I was in college. College which I loved above all else in my life.
College which was always my safe haven. I was back after years being away (I graduated 11 years ago), and I was late. And I had no idea where to go! On a campus I have memorized, especially since I worked in the mailroom when I was there and went all over the whole thing.
And part of my path on the way to class was through the dorms, which was strange in itself. It was like a summer camp in there, and my roommate was nowhere to be found. Some other girl was my roommate! But I was making my way to class when I woke up.
Damn it! I said. I'd never felt lost at MWC; actually that was where I found myself.

Anyway. I like to analyze these things. Because you know I'll be there again, lost...

Things I'd like to say during this haunting dream
1) For God's Sake, will someone just give me the %#*%%$($ combination!!!
2) A map sure would help here.
3) If you wake up before the end again, I will kick your ass.
4) Maybe I don't need books after all? What am I saying??? Books are my favorites!
5) Well, if we had more time between these classes to start, maybe a girl could be on time!
