I'm in my old school! Still, I'm my RL age, so I'm visiting or doing something similar. I'm not exactly sure why, I keep meeting people I know around the school. For example, once I met L. (from college). We talked a lot and I was surprised to see we were doing really great, even if it had been quite a while since we last talked. Her hair was dyed bright red, and for a moment I couldn't recall for sure what was her real hair color. The dream involved a lot of exploring and I remember more than once meeting girls with romantic intentions. At some other part of the dream I went on exploring some older part of the school, apparently underground, and was afraid I might be caught.
All during this, I had another worry - looking at a mirror, I had discovered that I had a third eye right between my eyebrows, just a little over their line. It was a smaller eye, and while I couldn't see through it, I knew it was alive. I wasn't as freaked out as anyone would logically be. In fact, I seemed happy with the idea. I believed that since my third eye had manifested physically, maybe I'd develop special powers? Considering the logic of the third eye in esoteric beliefs, it makes sense that I couldn't see through it, as supposedly it would only see other planes of existence. In any case, I had no idea where it came from. I theorized once that it had always been there, and that someone might have come to me in my sleep and cut my skin, freeing the eye. I didn't give it much thought, though.
The problem was that I couldn't control it. I was having a hard time keeping it open. It took me a while, but finally I managed to find a way to flex certain muscles in a way it would open. It wouldn't open wide, all the way, which gave it a sleepy, somewhat creepy look, but I was satisfied. I was convinced that I had to keep it open to learn to use it, as well as train its powers. Interestingly, people never seemed to notice it - it was as if I was the only one who could see it. Strange.
