deja vu, deja vu

It was another one of those 'day dreams' thing where life just kind of blends in with the un-reality.

It started off pretty odd where I was preparing for an exam except that I had already received my results for that particular test and I was sitting for it again. Weirdness.

Anyway, the oddliness doesn't stop there. A few people was there including A* who was sort of sitting for the same test as I am or maybe we were just going to the same venue for the test as me. The next moment we were at the exam venue except that we were in my old high school where the exam was being held. There were lots of other people there as well just that I don't recognize them or that maybe I just didn't get a good look at the faces in time for me to recognize them.

The next thing that happened was us making our way past hordes of people to get to our exam venue in one of the halls in the school compound. I for one thing don't remember my old high school being so huge but it is a dream so I guess it can be as huge or small as you want it to be.

Then suddenly A* decided to want to have lunch at this place not too far from the school and presto we were at the place wading our way through more throngs of people to a table where two other people was already there. I only recognised or recalled one of the two persons there whom was quite a prominent figure in my ex-residential college back in Melbourne. I wasn't close to him nor did I know him well enough but somehow he managed to pop into my dream. Let's just call him H* for now.

So H* was waiting for us apparently and we had a normal lunch as far as normal dream lunch can get. I mainly recall myself just checking my watch constantly to see if we were late or not. I remember telling myself that the test would start at 5.30pm and that we were going to be late if we didn't leave very soon. Soon after, A* got up and then we left for the exam once again.

I swear that we were quite far away from the school but somehow the next second we were right back there again. We passed several people until we stopped and talked briefly to two other ex-IHers except that the strangest thing was that A* only talked to K*H instead of D* whom she would usually talk to instead of the former. Just an odd thing that I noticed I guess.

Somehow we managed to make it in time for the test to start on the dot. During the test, the strangest thing I noticed about my desk was that there was some past year papers of the same test that I was sitting for and that there were additional notes on it as well. Like it was tempting me to take it and copy from them. Also there was this other ex-IHer sitting in front of me as well, D*C and A* was next to me in the exam hall.

The next thing that happened was me scribbling some answers and then I woke from my slumber.

Overall just another ordinary extraordinary dream.
