"The dream would have been forgotten had the strange realization not come about that both events happened the same night. As soon as I heard that we were both out for so long together it just clicked that I had the dream the first night I was away. It makes you think when something like that happens." Lance Turk

Sorry to get a little personal here, but it's necessary to give background here for this dream. I had a more troubled teenage existence than most people. During my Jr. year of high school I was committed to a mental hospital for kids after I took an unexpected hitchhiking trip at 3 in the morning.

My first night there I had a strong dream that made no sense to me when I woke up. I dreamed that I was in first period algebra class but something didn't feel right. I turned to the guy who sits behind me in that class and said, "This isn't right. I'm in the wrong class. I think it's 3rd period."

Now the guy who sat behind me in algebra also sat behind me in 3rd period English. But he didn't worry about the mix-up. I jogged down to 3rd period English and found my class. The guy was already sitting there and taking notes. Like he was 2 different people in my classes. I sat in my seat and turned around to tell him that I screwed up and went to the wrong class. I felt really stupid about that. He nodded and said that I didn't miss much.

I woke up around that point. The dream struck me as weird because I didn't really know this person. Sure he sat behind me in 2 classes, but I never really talked to him or thought about him outside of school.

A month later when I was released back into society, I was enrolled back into my classes. I found out that the guy from my classes was also out the previous month. During the exact night of my dream he had a sports related accident and was hospitalized.. I don't know if he went to the same hospital I did, but the thought really creeped me out.
