This is a dream I had last night:
It starts off when I was at school. It was vaguely my own high-school, just a bit different. I was standing alone near this thing that was similar to these brick benches at my school, except for it was larger and a full square. There was dancers or cheerleaders inside the square, but they don’t matter.
I had set my pop that I usually bought down, but I noticed it was a Diet Sprite instead of a Coke Zero, and I was frustrated at the the vending machine for giving me the wrong thing.
The bell rang, so me and the other girls left.
We went in the entrance that felt like the main entrance, the entrance that the kids at my school come in every morning. From the auditorium-like place, I walked to a hallway that went off to the left. As I walked down the hall, I realized I had left my Sprite outside. I remembered (in the dream) that there was a little niche of classrooms ahead with a door to the outside and I made a beeline to towards there.
Here’s where things get strange. For some reason, and it kind of terrifies me, I started getting disoriented. It was weird, I knew where I was, but my mind kind of stopped working and I almost fell over and I couldn’t hear and there was dark spots in my vision and I was sort of paralyzed it was so odd I can’t describe it. 🙁
Then, to make it weirder, I slipped my hand into this guy from my school’s hand, and we held hands and I almost fully returned to normal.
He gave me a smug, smirky look but didn’t say anything (he didn’t speak throughout the dream, and I suppose that was because I’ve never talked to him or really heard his voice).
We continued walking down the hallway until we turned into a classroom, and apparently the door to outside was in that classroom, something that I knew in the dream instinctively.
I left the boy in the classroom, but turned back and told him to find me and talk to me later.
From the door I could see the brick square again. I went back into the paralyzed mind state, and stumbled towards it. As I drew closer, a woman I recognized in-dream as the assistant principal was out there picking up trash and making sure there was no students skipping class. I tripped over to my Sprite and giggled and told the assistant principal that I wouldn’t be too long, but she ignored me.
And then I woke up. :/

What I would like to know about most is the weird mind-paralysis.
It terrifies me, even if Dream-Me acted as if it was normal. My dream self acted as if everything was normal, even the boy holding my hand. Though, my dream self seemed to know as much about him as I do; his name and what her looks like. There was no weird dream mechanics where I instantly knew everything about him or why he continued holding my hand.
Again, I know almost nothing about the boy, and I have no idea why he was in my dream.
(And, contrary to what my sister thinks after I described the dream, I do not have a crush on him)
Both my dream self and I were perplexed as to why he was there.
Anyway,
Any ideas? What does this all mean?
