Michelle and I are back in high school with several of our former classmates: MA, AN (I had a single class with this boy), and BF. It's our high school health teacher, Mrs. L's, class and we're tasked with putting white petunias into holes in a basket. The basket we have is shaped like a long, spiraling dragon (similar to Haku from Spirited Away) and there are holes all over it.
We're all working together to find which holes these petunias are supposed to go into. If we choose incorrectly, the basket will begin to break down. We only have so many tries. If we don't complete the task, it will be certain death.
MA tells us to pick the hole near the dragon's abdomen. The basket quickly breaks into two pieces at the site. Michelle suggests the hole near it's mouth. The dragon's head breaks off. Annoyed, I shove a petunia in the hole underneath its tail (exactly as it sounds) and the dragon glows. The basket weaves back together. As a reward for solving the puzzle, I am given two photos of petunias in beautiful sunlit scenes (not a fair trade for my life in my opinion). Mrs. L tells me that she has another surprise for me and a friend of my choosing. Obviously, I pick Michelle. We meet a blonde lady who is the owner of a world renowned Italian restaurant. We get to have a private class on how to make authentic penne noodles!
I've been watching a lot of America's Next Top Model recently and I had just watched an episode where they went to an Italian restaurant and the losers made pasta for the winners. I wonder if this translated into this bizarre reward from my dream.
