i can dream about you if i can't hold you tonight

short descriptions of reoccuring dreams that i've had for the past decade or so

1) the school locker - oh no, it's time to empty out our lockers because it's the end of the school year and i can't remember my combination
2) the school locker redux - even though i graduated from an institution with lockers over a decade ago, i have a feeling that i left something in my old locker and must retreive it. now what was that combination again?
3) heavy back pack - i can open up my locker and fill my bag with books. only when i try to stand up with it, i can't. it's too heavy. i can't move my feet. i am stuck.
4) playing catch - two parties are playing catch. the ball gets bigger and bigger with each toss. this is how wars start. this is a dream where i also have physical reactions. it feels like there is a balloon in my mouth that is getting filled with more and more air.
5) skipping church - off i go to the youth ministry room of my church. i think my parents are out of sight now, i'll just walk around the neighborhood until service is over and pretend i attended and listened attentively to the sermon.
5a) skipping church variation - same as before, only i hang out at a bodega to kill time.
6) elementary school revisited - everything is so small: the cafeteria, the bathroom stalls, the nurse's office. weird to have dreams about places you haven't been inside in nearly 20 years.
7) teeth falling out - my teeth fall out in assorted ways. most recently, this past week, i elbowed someone in the mouth, only my front tooth fell out. all attempts at sticking the tooth back into my gums failed. this is a result of me slipping in the shower at age 10 or 11 and whacking my mouth on the faucet and losing one of my front adult teeth.

i know there are a couple more, but i can't recall them at this time.
