Dream
I was a camp counselor. The building was huge, in the brutalist style in the middle of nowhere. Inside, it resembled secret laboratories, but the rooms had bunk beds and other conveniences.
The children didn't go outside, everything was inside the building. There were rooms that were huge, several kilometers in length and width, inside of them were long fields with clear sky.
In my dream there wasnt much about my work with kids, but there was a moment when another counselor seemed to lose her mind. She had a hysterical episode and wanted to do something dangerous, but I don't remember what. I deceived her about her hysteria and she calmed down, resolving the situation.
When I went back into the building, there were not children but various people my age. Among them were familiar faces like Maksim and Nastya (people from my uni group). I felt awkward and a heavy atmosphere. I don't remember exactly what happened at that moment, but I started crying.
I looked at Maksim and either I was small or he was very tall. When the dream switched from third to first person, I had to tilt my head back to see his face. I buried my face in a shirt to hide my tears. After crying for a while, I looked up and saw people looking at me. I quickly left because i felt so embarrassed.
When I returned to the children, it was time to go home. I helped them gather their things but realized I hadn't packed my own belongings. In a room that looked like a storage area, I couldn't find my jacket. I felt that I should have it but didnt remember how it looks.
We were told important people were coming soon and we shouldn't disturb them. Everyone waited for me, I was the only one not ready. I approached a couch and found my old clothes from my teenage years under a pile of items. I wanted to take them with me, but couldn't, someone rushed me.
I've heard from another counselors phone that someone was calling me stupid.
As we ran through the corridors, we encountered serious-looking people dressed as if for a very serious event. I realized I had been there before in a dream world of sorts, a camp for learning that I had forgotten about. Flashbacks of what we did there flooded my mind before I woke up.
