Vivid Field Trip Dream

 

 

I just wanted to record a bit about my dream from last night—it was one of my most active and detailed dreams. The whole thing was centered around taking students on a trip to the city, which felt incredibly real. There were so many people and places, and I was constantly on the move, visiting different spots in a lively, almost chaotic sequence.

Interestingly, we actually took students to visit a university on Friday, so I think this dream might have been a way of reprocessing that experience. The details were similar, but with a few unexpected twists.

In the dream, like on a real field trip, we had a bus and a driver. At one point, as I was getting off the bus, the driver mentioned that I should put on some deodorant, which made me feel self-conscious. Before our next stop, I decided to “freshen up” by checking into a hotel just to wash up.

I entered a really fancy hotel and went up to the front desk to get a room. But then I realized my credit cards weren’t working, and when I looked for my checkbook, all the checks were used up. I asked if I could leave an IOU, and the receptionist agreed, giving me a Post-it note to write on.

They handed me two “keys” to my room, but these keys didn’t look like normal ones—they were little plastic blobs. When I asked which key was for which door, the receptionist said the room had a front and a back door, almost like a small apartment. I found that pretty funny and surprisingly convenient i n the dream.

Next, I had to find my way to the third floor. I finally found an elevator, and when I stepped inside, it was surprisingly luxurious, with a minibar, a TV, and tons of controls. I remember thinking this would be an expensive stay, and I was a little anxious about the final bill. When I woke up, there was a sense of relief that it wasn’t real.

Earlier in the dream, there was also an appointment I’d scheduled in the city to check for head lice, of all things! I got nervous about missing it, rushing to make it on time—a bit of anxiety mixed into this adventure.

Looking back, it was quite an epic dream. It somehow blended stress, humor, luxury, and a sense of relief by the end. Dreams are funny that way, pulling together everyday thoughts and anxieties into surreal adventures.
