I dreamed I was at the airport with my friends from elementary school. it was familiar because it looked like the airport i had been in when I was a kid. It included my friends from fifth grade. It was all boys. We were about 9 or 10 years of age. We were all good friends. It was pleasant. We were all leaving Taiwan to go back to the United States. I felt great because I could remember those friends faces vividly. We were all saying our goodbyes and heading off to our different destinations.
