pedophile

I'm sitting on these middle school-like lunch benches inside a room. It's filled with all of my peers in my Master's cohort. Kevin decides to sit across from me and next to my friend, Kara, and another friend [Don't remember who]. He makes some annoying and mean comments and Kara whispers something about Kevin to my friend, but she whispers too loudly and Kevin hears her. He pretends he doesn't hear anything though. Then, he makes another mean remark and Kara "whispers", "I don't want to sit next to him, let's just move." At that, Kevin gets angry and says "Go ahead, move, I don't care." I feel so bad because I can see the hurt in his eyes. Kara and my friend scoot to the other side of the bench where I'm at and I feel terrible for Kevin because now he's just sitting by himself.

This "banquet" is now a presentation for Postsecret and the founder, Frank, instructs us to get up and share one of our secrets to the room. After doing so, we were then allowed to sit down [awkward]. One girl starts, then another, but eventually everyone pretends they've talked and just sits down. It's over so I head out. I'm in Teacher's College and as I'm walking down the stairs, I see a playground on the same level I'm on, the 6th floor. I go outside and it's beautiful, trees and murals everywhere. I walk down the stairs and at the lowest level is a playground FILLED with HUNDREDS of little kids! It felt like a water amusement park.

I walk by these 3 kids and 2 of them are asking the other kid's name, he says "Nadash, my name is Nadash." And the 2 other kids say, "That can't be your name, let's change it.. ok, your name's going to be Adam."

Then I walk through these hundreds of kids and spot a creepy man talking to a little girl who's hugging the fence. I'm facing them and listening but they don't notice me. The man is trying to tell the little girl to come with him but an older woman next to the little girl tells her not to. The man walks away and I ask the lady, "Why don't you get this man out of here? Kick him out!! He's obviously a pedophile!" And she answers, "I can't.. he's not a registered sex offender. He's always been around here. We don't have physical evidence against him. We have no proof. We can't do anything. There are some security around though if anything does happen." And she points towards 1 man whose back is turned while he's watching the hundreds of kids he's surrounded with.

I walk a little further and I spot the man again and tell him, "You pedophile, get the **** out of here." He looks at me with a creepy smile and I jump in the pool, fully clothed, to get to the other side. As I'm swimming, [slowly, like in all dreams] I keep looking back to keep an eye on the man, I then see him tug on a little girl's shirt, telling her to come with him. Nobody is watching and I'm in the middle of the pool, surrounded by kids, so I can't scream cause no one will hear me, but I'm too far to swim back. I keep swimming and keep looking back. Then all of a sudden, I look back, and the man and the little girl are both gone into the crowd.

And then... I wake up.
