Dreams Episode 19

Day of Dream: last night
Setting: no idea


It was after training. The canoe polo team, guys and girls and coach, were walking back (to no idea where) on a complex pedestrian network consisting of roads, escalators, and travellators. Everyone was walking and talking. Tingan, Yingzhen and Hengfoo did most of the talking. Cannot quite remember what they said. Some random stuff...

Some of the guys were on the travellators above us. Jehon decided to be an urban monkey, and swung off the travellator, attempting to jump on ours. While he was about to jump, I was about to be directly under his travellator. He tried to stop, but lost grip and fell, almost killing me...

The group continued moving. It started to drizzle. Hengfoo gathered us under a big green road sign post by the side od the complex pedestrian network. Everyone was seated, and he was giving out the year 4s' exercise books. Reading out the names off the exercise books, Hengfoo suddenly said "Tan-Li". Everyone, except for the pranker and those in the know, was left in a state of confusion. Yingzhen started laughing, finding the notion of having "Tan Li" among us extremely amusing. Laughter was infectious, and the year 6s laughed along.

Finally Xuan Hao and Tiong revealed that Tingan had changed the name on her excercise book earlier, attempting a prank on Hengfoo. Everyone was amused, and laughed. Hengfoo inlcluded, except he was about to start on a lecture again... haha


Personally, I find the random associations in this dream puzzling.
First, why do we use exercise books in canoe polo? Besides our school uses foolscap paper instead of exercise books for assignments.
Second, how is Tan Li related to canoe polo? Why did Tingan change it to "Tan Li" instead of some other name?

Sidenote: Many details might be missing, and the order might have been jumbled up too. However I do think the prank is funny.
