Dream Last Night

I was a little girl attending an elementary boarding school (or was it an orphanage?) someplace in western Europe (France or Switzerland maybe). It was sometime in the 30's or 40's. We had to wear wool uniforms that were blue. I shared a room with 2-3 other young girls.

The school was built of stone and dark wood with a large courtyard of white pebbles in the middle of the compound. Everyone in the school would gather in the courtyard and form a line. I remember it being cold. The classes were very strange. I only remember one. There was an old man dressed in black who would ask us questions about the reading we were suppose to have done. There weren't really lesson plans or textbooks. At the end of each class he would tell us what we should read next, the specific book to find in the library and the specific pages.

I wasn't paying attention in his class because I was anxiously awaiting a call on my cell from another girl in the school (it was strange that I had a cell phone and I remember thinking this during the dream). This girl was actually some sort bully who had told me to complete a form for her that she needed later during that day. I didn't fill it out completely and was worried she would be mad. I was also worried she would call during the class I was in and the teacher would find out and be mad.

I don't remember what happened with that story line, but I do remember the teacher in black asking me some questions about a couple assigned readings. In my dream I was amazed at how well I knew the material and how easily it was explaining the ideas I had read about.

The scene shifted and apparently one of the girls in my school had drown in a flooded river near the school. She had lived in the room next to mine. The school officials laid her out in her bed waiting for her parents (or officials or clergy?) to arrive. There was a sign on the door of her room.

The last bit I remember was that the guys from Ghost Hunter were there testing out the depth of the river and trying to figure out what happened. Weird dream. A little creepy too.
