Chapter: Comics
I have a couple recurring dreams that involve being in high school. One common element is that it’s in-between two classes and I’m pushing my way through the crowds in the hallways to get to my locker when it suddenly dawns on me that I can’t remember where my locker is. Sometimes I’ll arrive where my locker was supposed to be and find that the school was suddenly remodeled and I’m now standing at the entrance to the library. Sometimes I’ll walk up to my locker and then remember that this is the freshmen hallway and my locker is on the opposite side of the building. Somehow I still remember my combination but my dreams will never give me the chance to prove it. I wonder what I would find in my dream school locker.

You would probably find the dream versions of David Willis and Jeph Jacques, engaged in their unholy union. You would never be able to unsee this, so your brain is protecting you.
Hehe. I can never remember my combination. Ever.
I’m stuck thinking about the two lockers next to his. Not so secure anymore…
you find a lamp. what do you do?
I wouldn’t want locker #327 or #329!
memory week?
Forgetfulness week?
I think everyone has dreams about high school sometimes. I know I do. I don’t think mine ever involved lockers though… usually it’s the standard “having to sit the final exams again” fare.
I still have high school dreams a lot, mostly where I graduated yet I find myself going back to a class or two for some reason or other and everyone tells me I have unfinished business there despite my diploma. I’ve never understood these dreams.
But the locker edge is familiar, of the “locker in a different location every time” variety.
Try the combo on the locker anyway and see if it opens. If you can get yourself into a lucid dream state you could just make it open with your mind too.
UGH, high school crowds.. My husband told me about a local school (that he was supposed to attend but did the homeschooling thing instead) where several children were trampled to death by their classmates during a fire drill.
Someone needs to blow Alabama off the face of the planet.
I occasionally have dreams about trying to find my locker, even though I’ve been out of high school for several years. For some reason, I also dream that I dropped out of high school and now I’m sneaking back in to take only the classes I want, even though I really graduated.
‘Biff’s highschool locker still carries a grudge…”
I mostly ignored my locker, and simply carried God’s own backpack. It was a little like carrying a portable wrecking ball – Useful at times.
Oh, and the locker? It contains a grue.
@mewthicus i know what you mean although i am still a kid i go to a home school group plus while it was still popular the bully became my friend but he is a bit pushy and then there’s the newest kid coragen or something like that anyways the only code i have to remember is my garage opener
I never used my locker in high school.
With me, it’s doing my old paper route. But I can remember which houses *always* got the papers. It’s the other ones that I just guess at.
@maskedman: You have been eaten by a grue.
I did think anyone talked about those anymore, omg. o_O
One time when I forgot my Locker Combo somehow my friend Mongo learned it. I have yet to figure out how this happened without him swapping my lock, which he didn’t because I found my paper with the lock combo on it and it worked.
You would find Biffs in your locker, lots and lots of Biffs.
This is one of the cutest strips ever
Wish we had lockers in our schools, we had to carry all the weight on our backs. But ey! We grew strong like pack mules 😀
O man I have dreams where I forget my combination all the time. Or I have a dream and I can remember my combination, but when I spin the dial I can’t stop it on the numbers I want. Man those dreams are the worst.
Eventhough I graduated in 1990 every August I have the same dream. Very similar to yours Chris. By the time I get into my locker and get the books I need the end of day bell is ringing and I missed all of my classes. Or I realize there is a class on my schedule that I never attended and the final is today.
I can remember my locker combination no problem. My problem is that I can never get the lock to work.
