Thoughts on dreaming

Yesterday I was bothered by the knowledge that I had dreamed and flashes of feelings from the dream - but nothing of which I could grab hold of and spin the details - like pulling thread out of a mass of raw wool.
This morning I managed to hold onto the last bit of the last scene of the dream - a meeting taking place in a room in the school; the leader assigning details. I was to call up members, find out if they'd been reading articles on the problem and what progress they'd made on finding a solution to the problem we were addressing. While I was making notes on exactly who I was to call and what I was to ask, one of the people there commented on the pen I was using.
I recognized the person as a special needs student who had graduated in Spring 2020, whom I haven't seen since February last year. She said that the pen was one her father's business used and I realized that I must have picked it up while I was working in the class.
I have no idea why she showed up in the dream or what significance the pen might have. And I can't remember what problem we were working on solving except that it was a major one - something like local efforts against pollution or global warming.
