the 13th hour

11 Jul, 2025

...sometime after which I dreamt I was walking through a college campus looking for a cafeteria at which I would find a meal to take home, and instead ran into some sort of celebration and then found myself thrust into the role of a driver of a huge truck/bus packed to the gills with college students, including the copious front seat in which I'd be wedged in with the young people, one or 2 or 3 of which I implored to be navigators as I had no idea where the address was (on the island of Maui?) where I was driving them to; including through a tunnel in the mountains and there was recently some rain and flooding, through which we had to get down and push the bus/truck and then part of the tunnel had to go through a narrow roadway where we walked past a research laboratory, the road of which was littered with syringes, and many of the students were in bare feet so I had to warn them of this, as I was still the 'driver' of the group even though it had become a walking thing instead of a driving/riding one.
