TOEFL Testing Center

I just had a dream. It was concerning a Saturday (I think) TOEFL Test.

It somehow began as I was finishing the test. Or at least that's as far as I could remember.

But it seems that of all the candidates, only one proper confidentiality form was handed to me by one of the staff (Tomoko, I think. I think I see her because she's probably the most responsible woman there, eventhough she hasn't gone through the process of becoming an ETS staff yet). While the rest of the "forms" (underneath the proper one) were hand written and signed on lined papers. As if no one knew where or how the get the confidentiality forms, and seems that that's how they were instructed to deal.

I immediately stopped the candidates from leaving and asked them to wait for me to print out the real confidentiality forms (so rush and hurry that I forgot I could actually send the one who filled out the proper form home).

Then I tried one staff's computer, the staff seems to be one of my high school 2A2 classmate, don't remember his name but the face's really familiar. Odd that I didn't even see the oddness in the dream. Loaded the browser, thought for a while, entered ets.org but was some chinese comic page (perhaps it has to do with the fact that this classmate just somehow popped into my dream for reasons beyond me right now) that came up. Concluded that the computer was virus infected. Thinking with frustration, "why don't they report this to me?!".

And it also occurred to me that they have been left, somehow, to initiate the test on their own without me, which is a good thing if all goes well and I could do other things. After switching computer, I still couldn't print it, I don't remember why now. As it is also the end of the day, staffs were leaving for home. I woke up under all the frustrations.

I believe if you think too much in a dream (I'm sure this is a non-lucid one), you could just wake up.

I do know that working with this one staff who doesn't even speak or understand English besides a vocabulary of perhaps 10 verbs and nouns, yet always pretends or says he understood, is like working with a gorilla version of Gilligan on Gilligan's Island. Somehow, I don't recall much of his face in the dream, very vague.
