Meeting Doug and His Wife While Shopping

I was in some large store with Em (wife), and we were shopping. It kind of seemed like a version of Walmart or Target or something that I had in another dream. There were typical aisles of things, but off to the right were also huge racks of things kind of like being in Sam's Club.

Em had gone off to look for her own stuff, and I was walking around the racks area when I found Doug from Mercedes. I walked along with him and talked to him for a bit, and I eventually found out that his wife was also out and around here doing her own shopping. I made a point of mentioning that we needed to get them together so that we could all meet formally. We finally were all able to get together, and we met.

I could see Doug's and Em's faces pretty clearly, but Vicki (his wife) seemed to be a blond-ish haze of light around where her head and face should be. (I've never seen her before, so I couldn't visualize her in my dream) After we all met, I told Em that I needed to go shop for new jeans.

I turned and went to the left side of the store and shopped for jeans. While I was there, I managed to find my way into this "back room". It was a small and cluttered room that was painted white, but seemed somewhat old and dirty. I found this one little area that had these little "shades" in this recessed area of the wall. These shades were kind of like blinds that were made of bamboo, like what Em's parents have up on their screen porch, but they were small (only about one foot square) and they were all painted differently.

Each one had a different design on it. Some were painted floral, some were pink and white, others had green and yellow. They were all sorts of colors. I think I may have asked someone that was in that room about them, and the only information that I could get was that I was in some room that was only for teachers. I think they also told me that the only way I could become a teacher was to kill off another teacher. I didn't want to do that, but I was interested to look around the room.

After looking around the room for a bit, and there seemed to be a lot of old kitchen antiques around, I went back to the blinds. I rolled the first one up by pulling the string. It rolled up neatly, and then I saw it slipping away to the top and going back behind everything else. I think I tried to stop it, but it just kept going back an back until I saw it fall. When it fell, there was daylight through the hole I realized that it had fallen outside of the building and was now laying outside all broken on the ground.

Either I figured it out, or someone in the room told me, but that was how you killed a teacher and got to become one yourself. I didn't want to believe them, but I think I realized that it had to be true. I felt really bad for killing of this particular teacher mostly by accident. Somehow I had a feeling that I knew the teacher that had been killed, but I have no idea who it might have been.
