Dream 2 of 4

We were playing soccer in a tiny classroom (maybe 15x30 feet), and I continually had the ball in my possession. However, every time I dribbled the ball forward with my left foot and went for the big strike with my right, I'd dribble the ball too hard and miss with a big swing. After 3 or 4 times, the crowd, which lined the classroom, began to boo me. It got really frustrating, especially when the goalie kept lining up poorly, leaving wide lanes open for scoring. After what seemd a long time trying, I finally hit it soft enough with my left, but when I went for the big kick, I only barely hit the ball. It bounced off the goalie and came right back at me. I didn't have much time to react, so I again only slightly grazed the ball, and it slowly rolled in behind the shocked goalie for a score. It only went in by about an inch, but I was just glad to have gotten us ahead. I don't think there was anyone there I knew in real life, and they all seemed to be Asian.
