After giving all my running adventurers money for lunch, I saw I had enough for a coffee or a soda, and just kinda accepted it. I was looking for free snacks in the teachers' lounge, maybe some coffee, and I was noticing the flickering lights, disrepair and general messiness of this school. The kids then called me to go with them to find 'something', though I can't honestly say what it was they wanted me to find. So I followed them out into a warehouse where the inside was piled with debris and assorted junk, from toys and old metal scraps to ruined books & papers of assorted sizes. I don't know what specifically we sought but we had to find it.
Then I looked out and saw the horizon, which looked bleak and tired, a haze of dead sun and flat colors, and a small shack in the very distant line of sight. I wasn't sure what it had to do with the place we were in but I just accepted it. The kids rummaged through the trash, and then bolted out. I didn't see what they chased or if anything scared them but I was done and followed them out.
Then ... I was part of a group of people in a small room, myself, another pair of men and a woman who looked a little chunky and but a cute brunette, and we were told we'd be bathed in a small hole that had a layer like a ring, barely big enough to fit us all into it. Inside the hold was another hole with some cakes of soap, and a smaller hole for one person; from what I gathered a person goes into the center hole, washing & scrubbing everyone surrounding them at groin level. Well I wasn't sure what detail I'd need to wash other men but I wasn't thrilled with this idea. As I & the woman stripped to get into the small hole to be washed, a man at a radio (like a ham radio) turned to introduce (or point out) Paris Hilton entering the room. I glommed on like a total fan-boy, watching her strip as nude as I (apparently had been or already) was in the dream. She looked drunk, like she'd been released & was hung-over. I didn't want anything more than the image with her, though we were both naked. It was odd my dream didn't turn into my fantasy perversion but I just accepted her smiling at that moment and took a photo with my camera phone.
Very odd ... then barking dogs awoke me & I wrote this.
Analysing ...

************************
Children - CHILD Usually refers to youthful memories, or attitudes that still live on in you. If we become a child in a dream, it may be you are feeling immature in some way. The child also means what is growing and eager in your, what is vulnerable and perhaps easily influenced in its growth. The dream events will give you insight into what is happening to your 'child' self.
If this is one of your own children, look up son or daughter.
searching - SEARCH/SEARCHED/SEARCHING Usually indicates an attempt to find: a past way of life - like wanting to have childhood lack of responsibilities; a lover from the past; trying to find an answer to a pressing problem; searching for ones identity or sense of value in a particular setting. Also it may indicate a feeling of having lost something - youth; sexual appeal; creativity; motivation.
horizon - (no listing found)
ruins - RUINS An old and now useless way of life you led in the past; a particular personality structure that has now broken down; feelings you have abut some aspect of your life. The ruins in many dreams are shown as a castle, and this suggests the defences you used at one time to survive, but are now not necessary.
celebrity - CELEBRITY Meeting or being a celebrity may show that you desire to be noticed and acclaimed. Or the famous person may be your own potential, often unacknowledged, and projected onto dream character. If you are deferring to the character, or feeling they have power over you, they may be showing how you relate to a parent.
If you have difficulty relating to the famous person, you may be struggling with accepting yourself as respected, or your desire ambitions and efforts to become successful.
Sometimes: The person may, because of their life or role, represent a particular quality such as courage, love, 'ruling' drives in life, authority, etc.
soap - SOAP Cleansing. An attempt to come clean, to be rid of guilt or conscience or something that makes you feel grubby. See: Washing.
nudity - NAKED Revealing what we usually try to conceal, in the way of feelings, thoughts and reactions. We may hide dislike with a smile. If we are not pleased to meet someone, we may hide our feelings with courteous behaviour, shaking hands, but a child will usually refuse to talk to, shake hands or associate with, someone they dislike. Their real feelings are therefore naked to view. To be naked in a dream may thus express either a fear of or a desire for people to know your real feelings; fear of being disclosed or revealed; or discovery of your real self.
Some naked dreams show extreme self consciousness about other people seeing you. In other cases the dreamer enjoys being on view, likes people, or the doctor, to look at them.
Therefore being undressed can either be anxiety about being revealed, or pleasure in letting someone else see how attractive and perhaps desirable you are. Sexual feelings are often a part of these dreams. See: Clothes.
There is an almost instinctive drive in many young children to uncover themselves to others. Erich Fromm, in his book Dreams - The Forgotten Language, says that, "It is hardly possible to pass through a village in country districts without meeting a two- or three-year-old child who lifts up his or her blouse or frock before the traveller, possibly in his honour." As adults, if such behaviour were punished or frowned upon we may still be stuck in this behaviour, desiring the acceptance we should have received at an earlier stage of our growth. Useful questions are: Am I feeling relaxed about this or exposed and vulnerable - and does that reflect how I feel about people knowing who I am? Is there any signs of sexual feelings here, and if so what does the dream suggest about my response?
If there is a reason for my being naked, what is it?
photographs (taking) - PHOTOGRAPH A memory, an impression one may have forgotten, or occurred subliminally. In some people’s dreams the photograph comes to life, suggesting a memory, hope, or impression that is now coming into activity, or is an active influence in the present. Developing photos: Bringing to consciousness feelings, realisations or memories that were previously unconscious or latent.
