I have recurring nightmares about a particular teacher who I parted with on very, very, very bad terms. It usually involves me being stuck back at that school and her finding reasons to harrang me and/or be a terrible person in general. (her sitting back, SIGHing and shaking her head as one kid crushed another kid's skull under a giant crate with a forklift is a particular, and very in-character, example that comes to mind)
I had another nightmare like this last night. It involved her telling some kids including myself to go somewhere and do something; we went there at some expense, found we couldn't do it and went back (You know dreams, never skimping on the details, right?). She told the kid who reported this to her that we should have looked in one particular place that wouldn't have been obvious to anyone, and she told them that I, of course, should have known this.
At this point, I suddenly reached a semi-lucid state, finally snapping after eight years of having dreams about this goblin of a woman, and I began screaming. "FUCK YOU, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEN, YOU FUCKING FUCK, I FUCKING HATE YOU AND YOU'RE A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT WHO KNOWS SHIT-ALL ABOUT ANYTHING IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING REPRESENT IN MY FUCKING DREAMS AND JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY?"
The children went silent. And she told me what it was she was trying to do.
I huffed a furious 'THANK you' and turned to go.
"And when you forget," she said in a strangely deadpan tone, "I'll be right here telling you again."
When I left that building I saw the ocean in the distance, and another recurring nightmare came to mind. "Oh, that's right," I snarled, "Come on, while we're here bring on the fucking tidal wave like you always do."
Sure enough an apocalyptic tsunami formed and rushed towards me. The other dream NPCs ran screaming.
Until it hit me, I stood right there, holding a plastic shopping bag in one hand and and flipping off the wave with the other.
It went right through me like a hologram, leaving nothing but a strange summertime shimmer behind it. By the time it was generating an even bigger wave to see if that would faze me, I got bored and walked away.
Wish I could remember what the hell it was the teacher told me.
