I think these were all the same dream, but they stand alone separately so I'll divide them up and sort it out as best as I can.
Firstly, I had an image of our jam jar lying on its side and it was empty; this was in the living room and it was daytime. I thought, "Oh. Somebody ate the jam." I was surprised and a bit disappointed, because I'd wanted to at least taste it. I nearly forgot this part until I saw the jam jar at home yesterday, still full. I don't know where that fit in with the rest of these dreams so I thought I'd get it out of the way first.
This shifted into one of the other dreams of this night.

I was riding in a vehicle with some other people--maybe Ma and Dad, at least, though there could have been more--and we were going north on the highway, I believe. I think there were leaves on the trees but it was overcast. There was more to this that I can't recall but I know I looked out the left window and saw a big square pit in the ground in the woods. It's like the car slowed down (though it didn't) and I got a really good look. I could see this big square excavated area, some of the junk underground like roots and stuff I can't recall, just this big old hole. I knew a house had been there...I think it belonged to some important woman, maybe the county prosecutor. I was surprised because I remembered her house being there but now there was absolutely no trace but for the hole. I looked out the other window and saw at least one or two other square pits where houses had been--it was like the entire house, basement and foundation and all, had been removed and left only the square cavity where it had been. I was confused by this.
Someone--Dad?--informed me that the houses had been removed or torn down because they were sinking rapidly into the ground, due to the fact that they'd been built on top of a swamp. And it's true, a lot of the woods in that area are in swampland. Nothing this BAD, though! I get the feeling the houses had been relocated but I don't know at whose expense. This worried me because our house is on this same road--would we have to pull up our house? :( I eventually reassured myself that no, if this were so our house would have shown signs of sinkage by now, which it hadn't, and so it must be on relatively dry ground. So I guess our house was safe.
Real-life influences: My dad recently told me something about some man's house collapsing into a giant sinkhole.

There was stuff before this but again I can't recall it. I seemed to now be at a party at what was supposed to be our house and it was nighttime, but it didn't look like our house AT ALL. It might have been a ranch house though it seemed quite big. There were lots of people present but I wasn't terribly anxious, just somewhat shy and reserved. I kept walking around seeing what was going on. There were lots of rooms and the people were doing all kinds of things. They all seemed to be my age, and I know at least some were people I knew from high school and such. I think we were college age in the dream. The lights in the house were mostly off but a couple were on so the rooms were thrown into shadow and there might have been music playing; it was very relaxed and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves, which is maybe why I felt moderately okay. I went toward what was supposed to be my room, I think, and found some girls in there doing stuff; this didn't terribly upset me but I decided not to bother them, so I turned and came back down the hall. (Remember, it wasn't at all like my real house. I get the feeling of white walls and shiny wood floors, kind of spare looking in terms of decoration, maybe only one story.)
I wandered into the "den," which was really spacious. There was this HUGE multisectioned couch going all around the room in a big square which was open in the middle. Oddly, the seats seemed to face OUTWARD, not inward, on the open section. The couch was shiny black like faux leather and was brand new. People were starting to gather in here to watch a DVD movie. I wanted to join them but I felt I probably wouldn't like the movie, and I rather wished we could watch different things at once. :/ As I wandered in here, a guy I knew from high school, Jeff D. (little Jeff), passed me and gave me a "wink-nudge" look and said something like, "Thaaannnks, Rach!" I was puzzled as to what he meant, and he pointed out the nice new couch; apparently he assumed that I had purchased it, and he thought it was a really generous purchase. I wanted to correct him--I felt I hadn't bought the couch at all (though I wasn't sure--had I?)--but I didn't want to disappoint or embarrass him or anything. And I felt that I had purchased something that was currently being used at this party, from some mail-order catalog--the DVD players?--whatever it was it seemed expensive, but money wasn't an object in the dream. So I decided to let Jeff continue to believe that I'd bought the couch. Not because of pride, but because I felt it would bother him if he found out he was wrong.
Well, I went over to the right side of the couch (when I'd been entering from the hall--I feel there was another wide room like a kitchen and maybe the entrance to the left, so I would have been facing this when I "sat" down) and sat down, only I was turned toward the middle, leaning over the couch back. I wondered if the others would think I was weird for sitting so even though the layout made it such that everybody would likely do this; perhaps it was how I leaned kind of casually over the cushion that made me feel self-conscious. Nobody cared or noticed. I saw one DVD player off to my right, on the side of the couch perpendicular to mine--it looked like a laptop computer. And there were at least two more, and probably more than that at intervals. Little groups of us were gathering around them to watch the movie. I noticed that every group was watching different parts of the DVD! Like one group was watching one part, and another group was fast-forwarding through part or pausing it. It looked like everyone was watching an introduction or looking at the menu of options and extras and stuff that DVDs usually have, but the point was that they were watching their own things, independently of the other groups. I think I was near one player, maybe with some other people (I seemed to be alone at first so maybe I went to join the people to my right and slightly ahead of me?), and they/we were fiddling around with this. I was surprised. "I didn't know we could watch different parts of the movie!" I exclaimed, and the nearest people glanced at me as if to say, "You didn't?" I wondered if we could extend this idea to watching different DVDs entirely, but I never asked because I felt it would be rude. Maybe later.
Real-life influences: A friend from high school recently contacted me in the hopes of getting back in touch, though it hasn't really been successful yet (my e-mail to her bounced back and I haven't gotten a reply to my snail mail yet). She commented about my shyness and anxiety in her letter.
This shifted into one of the other dreams of this night and may have been related to "Waiting In Line."
