I had a lot of dreams about being in high school; fictitious high schools, BTW.  This one in particular was the most interesting, though.  Some of you may not know anything about Batman Beyond, so I guess I should offer some explanation.

  It's in the future, Bruce Wayne is and old guy.  He was still Batman pretty much only by virtue of his new suit which contained computer technology which, among other things, increased his strength.  But it put a strain on his heart after a while.

  In one particular fight, his heart started bothering him, and he was actually forced to pick up a gun to defend himself.  He didn't have to use it fortunately, but that's beside the point.  He decided it was finally time to hang up the cowl (this suit has no cape).

  Story line, story line, yadda yadda, a young high school student named Terry McGuinness (male) discovers his secret and eventually takes over in the field with Bruce helping at the computer in the Bat Cave.  The eyes of the suit are a computer screen with video hook up, so Bruce can see what Terry sees, and Terry can do things like infrared and zoom and such.

  Okay, back to the dream.  Some of the stuff that happens in the dream is of no connection to the show; even the suit looks a little different.  The first thing I recall of this dream is him defeating some bad guy in the hallway of the school.  That particular event I don't recall too much detail about.

  After that, he took off his mask (not sure if he put on other clothes) and went to his next class.  By the way, it's not in the future, in the dream.  Regular school stuff goes on for a while, and at this point I'm switching back and forth between being Terry and being a non-participating observer.

  While we all were in the classroom, the police were investigating the crime scene (I know this by dream knowledge), and they discovered evidence suggesting a virus had been released in the school.  They had somehow created a test that would tell who released it.

  A special card was sent to every classroom, and every student had to put a drop of their blood under their name on the card.  If the spot on the card turned yellow, then it's supposed to mean that person is responsible, because the virus was created using a human cell base, which rendered that person as the only person who would be unharmed.  Also, given the circumstances (and the illogic of dreams), that person would also be revealed as Batman.

  Well, Terry's blood is the one whose turned the spot yellow, exposing him as Batman, and falsely exposing him as the "terrorist".  He, of course, had nothing to do with it.  Instead of arresting him there, they put the school under quarantine, especially that room.  No one in or out for a while.  He denied having anything to do with it.

  Strangely enough, not too many of the students felt all that badly towards him.  He later got the idea that the real terrorist must have gotten a sample of his blood during one of his past fights, but he had no idea who, and this most recent bad guy was little more than a patsy deliverer.

  Terry flipped down his suit's visor to run a scan and search of data back at the Bat Cave computer.  (In the cartoon, he does not have a flip down visor.  I imagine this little feature I got from Ratrap in Beast Machines.) He discovers that there is no actual virus.  It's just something that resembles a virus enough to warrant treating it like one, and it was designed to expose Batman's identity.  But he's not able to prove any of this, yet.

  Another aspect of the dream that has nothing to do with the cartoon is that Terry has a small ancient pottery bowl.  It's magical and is the source of extremely powerful spiritual strength.  It somehow got broken while it was in his desk, but one of it's magical abilities is to put itself back together.

  The odd thing is that it's acting as if it was broken on the far side of the room, under a line of windows.  Even though it's pottery, it shattered into splinters, and these splinters slide gradually along the floor toward where the bowl was supposed to be.

  It's as if the thing is on a timer that you can't disrupt, because if you move a splinter forward or backward, then it springs back to the spot where it was before you move it.

  During one of the times where I was Terry, I was feeling a little down by the whole thing.  There was this one girl student who sat in the first desk on the second row from the windows.  She had neck-length black hair.  She was not particularly attractive girl, but she had a nice look.  Her only "flaw" was that she had a small patch of sparse stubbly whiskers centered on her upper lip.

  I sat down in the desk behind her and, defying all natural laws of physics, held her hand near me as I laid my head on the desk, while her arm was straight down by her side.

  She turned to ask what I was doing; very polite about it.  Dream knowledge told me that she was wondering if I thought we were together, or something.  I was feeling as if my end was near (not death), and I said that there were a lot of things I always wanted to do, and one of those things was to hold her hand.  She decided that was okay and smiled.  That dream pretty much ended.
