Characters: teacher, me

I was in a classroom environment and the teacher was asking me some follow-up information about assignments. It was the end of a school term of some sort, and she ran down a list of things I needed. At the end of the list she hit on me.
teacher: "You're very interesting, I'd like to take you out to lunch sometime, or maybe we could go to a nightclub."
I had a gut reaction like "whoa, inappropriate"! But I was diplomatic.
me: "Well, let's look at one thing at a time. What assignments are missing?"
After a bit of fumbling around and being rather incompetent at getting the information I needed, losing sheets of paper, picking up the wrong one...I apologized for my clumsiness. Then I snapped to lucidity.
me: "Well, I'm doing rather well considering that I'm asleep. Do you know what I mean?"
teacher: "Yes."
me: "Well, I mean that I have another life I live in addition to this one. Like, when I wake up from here, I'm going to be in a whole different world. As a fully grown adult. I'm 32."
teacher: "Oh. Really?"
me: "Yes."
I addressed the whole class.
me: "Do any of you have that situation?"
No one in the room did.
me: "I'd appreciate it if you could take me rather immediately to someone who specializes in medicine. I would like the ability to study this world in more detail, and if I don't receive some kind of treatment I will wake up soon."
When I said I'd like to study the world in more detail, I held up my fingers to make a pinhole camera and tried to look through it...as the world was kind of blurry, and I was curious if this device would increase the clarity. It didn't help one bit, and I awoke.

The accounts written here are as true as I can manage. While the words are my own, they are not independent creative works of fiction —in any intentional way. Thus I do not consider the material to be protected by anything, other than that you'd have to be crazy to want to try and use it for genuine purposes (much less disingenuous ones!) But who's to say?
