This one was a big one, and I haven't figured out much about it, yet.
It all started that I was part of a group going to the stadium. It seemed to be part of sports class. So I figured I was in high school. There was a teacher with us, and he had a moustache. Did not know him.
When we arrived at the stadium it was big building, a long hallway surrounding the sports grounds itself, I guess (never saw them). On the inner side rooms were arranged, people were around. For some reason I roamed around myself. I was looking for changing rooms so I could change into my exercise gear, I guess.
The first room I found myself in, I guess (temporal order is a bit hazy - it seems like some info came as flashbacks?) was a big empty storage room. But I did not want to risk changing in that room since anybody could have walked in any time. The room was enormously big, its ceiling many levels above. I just remember looking at the tall wall and not even the ceiling - more like a single picture than a full memory.
Next I go down a hallway branching off the surrounding hallway. Seems like these are mostly closets behind normal-sized doors. I go to the room at the end of the hall, thinking it might be a closet, too. Turns out it is a class room where friends of mine are preparing for a lecture. (I did not know any of them, but was convinced they were my friends.) I had a short chat with them and went on. I think I stored my bag or whatever it was in a closet marked "Cabinet No. 5" - at least I think I must have done this at this point, and go searching for the others.
I walk to the North end, I guess, of the whole complex and find the changing room and the others. On the way out of the changing room I meet the teacher, maybe he asks something about how I am doing and I'm getting irritated, and start cursing. I try to get back to where I stored my gear.
As I walk down the hallway with the closets I have trouble finding the same spot again. The more I look the more it seems to me what formerly was a hallway with closets branching off is now a big built-in kitchen! The closets seem now to have become cupboards. I guess I even find "Cabinet No. 5", or maybe only "Cabinet No. 2"? But my stuff turns out to be in some cupboard below the sink. I take out a leather bag and a black suitcase.
Somehow I now think I'm in college, no longer in high school. I wonder for a short moment when there has ever been a mandatory sports class in college...?
I get back to the North, but instead of the changing room I find stairs leading downwards, with lots of people on them. There are entrances blocking the way where you have to cycle through barriers to get in - like in some subway stations. I go through one, only to notice that I do not want to go where it leads - the public pool or maybe some spa area. I am lucky - the price sign says "free for men." I squeeze myself back through the crowd.
Next thing I know I'm at a bus station full of people. Really crowded. I meet two people I seem to know. One of them is the size of a child, with a child or elfin-looking face, with a stuffed winter coat with hood on - covering everything but the face. She (?) looks up at me and we talk. I cannot place her. Her looks remind me of a person (F.) I remember from high school, so I start talking about that other person. In a flashback I remember like I seem to have put something for that person in order - numbers, accounts, or something. Maybe I notice some annoyance because I went on this tangent.
Two kids seem to make their way towards me in the crowd - they seem familiar. Right behind come G. and then S., his wife. He's a co-worker of mine IRL. He asks why I'm not at the stadium - he's wondering if I'm going to be in trouble at work for missing it. I think he also said he took a day off so he did not have to go. (So, now the same event has been associated with high school, college and work.) His wife seemed to have a stern look on her face once.
I try to figure out where the bus lines go, but I don't recognise the stations. I try to read the names of the destinations but nothing seems familiar. I seem to be at some sort of hub, but nothing seems to back to the sports park. A lot of people rush into the line one bus and it departs. I find myself in the line two bus while still trying to find out where it goes, it seems (I don't know how I got onboard, though).
I plan to exit the bus and take the same line back. Line two is running up a hill, and while the bus drives up the hill the bus driver announces that the more people board the line, the cheaper the "flint" or "splint" gets. I take it as some kind of group ticket or whatever, but basically I don't understand what this is about.
I can see strange buildings. They are circular white buildings, wide as a tower base, topped off with a flat roof that extends over the edges like spikes, like a sun depiction, maybe. They are built into the hillside, maybe almost like on terraces. Some are still under construction. For some reason I think they are typical for the location, like a local speciality or landmark. (For some reason I again think I'm in Munich - these buildings or even the big hill have nothing in common with Munich, though.)
Further uphill is a big hill, and on the hill side are holes, from which crucifixes stand out. The whole hill is littered with crucifixes, possibly with a depiction of the crucified Christ on it, too. Like the crucifixes you can see in Southern Germany along the roadsides, but a whole hill full of them. Either on top of the hill or even more uphill there is a big building, like a really big hotel or something, I think even with turrets.
I hit the exit button to announce to the bus driver that I want off at the next stop and the dream ends.
