What are students dreaming about?

Aditya Rewalliwaar, junior “I went to Southdale Mall alone. I walked around and then slowly water started coming up from the floor. It was really scary because I kept trying to go higher and higher onto the third floor and as soon as I got to the third floor all of these deer were just standing there waiting for me. They started chasing after me so I was running around Southdale Mall and eventually got to this other room. I finally closed the door and inside were all of these different animals but they were in cages. Then, I went to the hippo cage and I grabbed a piece of sand and he was like, ‘No, put the piece of sand back,’ and I was like, “Okay, fine.” I put it back and he was like, ‘No you didn’t put it back.’ Then, he starts hitting the cage and he’s like, ‘No, it’s on your hand,’ and then I was like, ‘Okay, I can’t do anything about that.’ So, I leave and the giraffe starts chasing after me and then the hippo gets out of the cage and I’m running and I finally get all the way back to the top and the deer are still there and I ended up jumping off the third story of Southdale Mall onto the floor and right before I hit the ground I woke up.”

Nyla Stumm, freshman “It was about a burrito. So, I was, you know, going through my normal day and then people started to turn into burritos. And then the whole world was about burritos, and then I got really hungry and ate everyone.”

Ali Kidd, senior “I was on a vacation and when I got there it was very tropical and I forgot all my luggage and I didn’t have any swimsuits or any warm clothes to use in this tropical area. I went outside of the hotel one day and it was Antarctica instead of a beach and I was really confused. I saw these penguins and wanted to take them home with me so I grabbed a plate and put them on it. They started talking to me like, ‘oh no, we want to stay in Antarctica’ and I was like, ‘no, I’m gonna bring you home.’ So then we got back to the hotel and they started dying because it wasn’t their natural habitat and then I put them in my bag. Then I was with my family and we were playing card games and we went upstairs and it was like the [casino] and we were playing Egyptian Rat Slap and I was winning because I’m really good at it. And then I lost a bunch of money and I went back upstairs to go see my penguins and talk to them and then they were like dying a lot so then I brought them back to Antarctica and Antarctica was like melting because there was a volcano that went off near the hotel and that’s all I remember.”
