There were a large number of people in the gym and the right half of it was converted into a bowling alley. Students and their parents alike populated the gymnasium. A mother called out to her daughter from a distance, “you take Pragmatics, go talk to Clark” while pointing in my general direction. She seemed to be embarrassed by this remark and ran off with her hands over her face.

I walked into the restroom and the lights turned on only when I came in. Even though it was pitch black previously, there seemed to be music coming from one of the stalls. When I finished washing my hands, someone did indeed appear from one of the stalls, holding some kind of handheld device. It seemed like he was playing a visual novel of some sort in the dark.

When I exited the restroom back into the gym, it was already nighttime. I checked my watch and it wasn’t 10PM yet but the room was packed and people were sleeping on the ground.

I walked outside into a large rocky plain. There were four people hanging out by their car and before long I was a part of their group. When they thought about getting in the car and going somewhere else, I noted how it seemed like the car would only fit four passengers and offered to not join them. Instead they welcomed me and told me that they can manage to fit another person in the back. “Am I supposed to sit on your lap or something?” I asked the person next to me. “No, that would be too aggressive” replied another member of the party. I uncomfortably fit myself in the cramped space as we drove up some hills in a suburban residential area.

Large pool balls were placed in front of each and every dorm. Outside of our was an orange 3 ball. We were informed that the balls themselves held no significant meaning and that their interpretation was up to us. They were left intentionally ambiguous to allow the residents to create their own myths and stories about the numbers.

We were now in a lab burning cakes with Bunsen burners. By the wall there was a sign for how many “Holy Fires” were present in the room. At first glance, there were 14 flames. Not too long later there was a parade of people playing flutes marching by the building.

I followed the crowd until we reached a large performance stage. We must have entered from the back because I had a lot of trouble trying to determine where exactly we were supposed to sit and spectate from. People were already dancing while I had to keep moving as I was in their way. I ran up and down a multitude of stairs and ended up very far from the action. My vision was obscured by thousands of others. A bit later there was a video playing over multiple projectors cast on many different walls. This only further attributed to my confusion.

I was trying to record my dreams on my calculator and accidentally cleared the entry. Not only did you have to use the alpha key to type in characters on the calculator but you also had to press the number keys multiple times the same way you would to text on a traditional phone.
