This dream had a couple parts--they're both slightly hazy but what details I remember are as follows:

1.) I was getting married in front of a huge audience of family--the really weird thing was, I think it was to my female cousin, and I'm not sure if it was a legit marriage or some sort of symbolic ceremony, or she was representing my real groom, Idk--but I was dressed in this elaborate wedding gown and so excited because I had been waiting for this day for so long and just wanted to be married so badly. When it came time to do our vows, it was on kind of a set of bleachers but in a fancy hotel reception room, but kind of outdoors...you know, dream terrain. Anyway, so when I gave mine and presented the ring, it was very heart-felt and soulful and sincere, and there was applause from everyone; when it came her time to give me my ring, she just laughed and couldn't take it seriously like it was some big joke...I was just waiting anxiously for her to say "I do," but she couldn't stop laughing so just kept the ring and handed me a stack of cheap bangal bracelets instead, as if saying "you're not worth this, this is a joke"...I returned to the bleachers, absolutely humiliated, and devastated that the ceremony was cut short and not like a normal wedding length--I somehow had the ring on my left-hand ring finger anyway, and it was a very elaborate and beautiful set diamond and gold banded ring, and I was just sobbing hysterically, until someone (I believe my mother) came up and sat down next to me and started comforting me, asking what was wrong, and I just said I felt so stupid to jump into it so quickly and kept looking at the beautiful ring and feeling so regretful, because really the only reason I had been so quick to do it was just because I wanted to get married and have that ring on my finger so badly...

2.) I was on kind of a repeat of a trip I had to Europe last year IRL, but this portion I believe was only set in Amsterdam--it was bleak and rainy the whole time, and my friends and I were frantically roaming around trying to get to everything on time. While searching for where we were supposed to be, I somehow ended up in this back garden field-type thing, terrain kind of distorted, but it was sunny and nice and clear and there was some form of ancient Asian architecture, some kind of Buddhist temple, and there was a monk in there trying to get me to relax and be calm and whatnot, giving me directions on specifically where to stand and how to breathe...I think during this process some sort of earthquake or other type of panic occured leading to the destruction of the temple, and as I tried to escape I ended up in another scenario--it resembled my backyard at home IRL with our pool, and my mom was lounging outside there--it was the end of the summer (as it is right now IRL), and we were discussing how our summer was spent, and then I glanced over a downward-sloping hill behind the pool deck and saw a beautiful oceanfront ancient Greek or Roman architectured pool area, very large and again beautiful weather, clear, blue, just the right amount of sun and clouds, and extremely relaxing--I asked my mom about it and she said it had been an addition we had put onto the pool at the beginning of the summer, and I was very bummed that it was now the end of the summer and I had had no knowledge of it up until this point; I just remember even in the dream desperately longing for it because even then it seemed out of reach...

3.) This is very blurry and quick, but briefly I remember being on the IRL family compound and in front of my house, and my old horrible roommate and her dad were there to help me move back into my house or something, all of a sudden being all nice and whatnot...doesn't really matter, this part of the dream kind of made me angry as I woke up because I hate thinking about her in any way...

Why are you in my room?..

So I took a nap right after I posted my last dream, and here I am again--this was very disturbing to me, I'll let you guys decide, I was so embarrassed I almost didn't post it...

Ok so, I recently met this guy at a frat house I frequent--real nice dude, very heavy set, just not my type--well IRL he's been talking to me a lot more frequently lately...anyways, so he was in the dream--this took place all in my current apartment, but of course it was embellished a bit, much larger and expansive and had a huge balcony that connected some of the rooms with a hallway that seemed to be suspended almost above the skyline of a city--not sure how else to describe it...but basically this guy was following me around everywhere and was trying to get a lay, and I was like nooo dude you're my friend and all but not going there. So somehow we reached a compromise that wherever we'd go to hang out together we'd just be naked and covered in soap. I remember in the dream I was extremely embarrassed about the entire thing (and felt similarly once I woke up, relieved I had in fact been dreaming)...well this continued in different scenarios throughout the entire dream, but random events included my mom in my room wondering why we were on the floor naked covered in soap, and I told her he reminded me of this guy who had a huge crush on me in high school IRL...another scenario was that I had brought a pet cat back from home and was trying to keep it in my apt, but we're not allowed to have pets so I was doing my best to conceal her, but someone opened the door and she ran out, and I was frantic because I was afraid that if the landlords found her they'd kill her...she was such an adorable sweet kitty, black and white and very soft, affectionate, and smiley...so another thing that happened, somehow a large hispanic family ended up moving into my room with me, and I was like, wth because my two housemates have their own rooms and there's an empty one right next to mine--but I didn't have a choice, I had to share the room with all of them, and I just remembered being really confused and annoyed with the situation...

and randomly, a section apart from the apartment part (that's a lot of parts, sorry), I had to go to court for a speeding ticket in VA (which exists IRL coming up at the end of this month...), but it was dark and like just a reception front desk instead of an actual court room you know...I was dressed really casually, in jeans and my Washington Captials jacket (go Caps!!! :) ), and even though I was in NC (I think), one of the judges saw my jacket and smiled and showed me he was also wearing a Caps jacket, and told the main judge to waive my ticket based on the mutual fandom...wish it worked that way IRL...

    Sooo I had a bunch of irrelevant dreams last night (or this morning rather, between the hours of 4-8am when I was actually sleeping periodically), as usual, I vaguely remember a bit of Brokeback Mountain involved in there but that was because I was up till 2am watching the movie...but ANYWAYS here is where it gets interesting...

    So. I don't remember the circumstances but I was with a group of people and one of them was this girl who in real life was in my tour group in Europe last summer, I really didn't like her that much she was pretty sketchball...but it was dark outside and we were in a seemingly decent neighborhood, and she gave me a house key and told me to go inside or something, but on my way in a gang she was affiliated somehow with attacked me, and I was screaming and yelling for her to help and struggling to get away and she just raised her eyebrows and walked off, and this group of dudes ended up raping me (pleasant I'm aware), then finally all scattered off, leaving me obviously distraught and sobbing...so I'm left alone in the street now, and as the sun's coming up I just start walking down the sidewalk still in tears, until I run into a man who in real life was a teacher at both my high school and college...awesome dude and pretty good-looking too. But I digress--he saw how upset I was and took me into his arms to comfort me and we walked along the sidewalk together as he was trying to calm me down...now I don't really remember how it got to this part. But we ended up in this mansion-hotel-apartment type thing (really nice place) and in this huge room and, er...yeah, hooked up like hardcore...then afterwards we were on our way outside and as he turned to close the bedroom door behind us (some friend of ours was in the room now), and he was like "ugh I just can't take it anymore" and ran over to me and we started making out (although we had hooked up apparently we hadn't kissed yet), then I saw the chick in the room open the door and look at us and I pulled away to let him know...and this was a bad situation because I guess we still had the student-teacher relationship in the dream, and he was smiling nervously and said "I'm beggin you not to tell anybody" and I without hesitation told him of course I understood that he could lose his job if anyone found out...so I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I think we resolved to run away together or something, or he was going to run away and paid for the expensive hotel room for me to stay in until he came back, and kissed me goodbye and he packed his suitcase and left...so I think because this upset me I went outside after awhile and starting searching for him, and for some reason the location was now in Ocean City, MD on the boardwalk, and it was early sunset and I was the only one there, so I went into this record shop and I asked the guy behind the counter if he had seen "my friend" (I had an image of him with a guitar for some reason which I think is why I thought to look for him in the record store), and the guy pointed to a poster on the wall behind me and said "you mean the young guy with the CD?" (the guy on the poster was my friend in real life who has a musical career), and I said, "no, that's BDK, but I know him too." then the guy informed me that he hadn't seen my lover and I believe that is when I woke up. Surprisingly and slightly disconcertingly highly disappointed it had only been a dream...
