Summer Reading
My son is getting out of school for the summer. The teachers have assigned summer reading packages. I go by his geography teacher's classroom and there is a large packet of books, college textbooks and technical economics papers. I want to protest, this is too much for an 11 year old to read. But I don't say anything.
Later I go to see another one of his teachers. I tell him it is too much, but he says I should look at the stuff, it is really okay.
My two sons are sleeping at his home. Summer is in a funny bunkbed. The teacher has left some markings on the floor of my house that are an invitation for me to come over as well. I sneak into the house to see the boys. And then I am supposed to be there and we are gathering items for a garage sale. The boys have toys then can offer to the sale.
During the sale I take the boys and a friend to McDonalds, I have to get them out of this place.
The dream is a mix of repulsion and attraction. We keep getting pulled back to the charismatic teacher and we keep being repulsed by unexpected conditions.
