+ a young arrogant manager is haranguing my father that he needs to update his skills, I'm listening, I feel sorry for my dad I'm trying to stand so they can't see me, I offer my dad to play some pick-up basketball to make him feel better [we've never played basketball together that I can remember], someone throws a basketball hard at another guy and hits him smack in the head

+ observing as a "playa" picks up a girl, he says "baby you so fine, what I gotta do to get in yo pants!?" he takes her to room in a building, where there are animatronic people, young men and women, they sit down at a table, and he needs to decide which ones to keep in the room and which to kick out

+ building and operating some game cabinet with (simulated?) guns, it's incredibly fun like playing an amazing video game, I'm swiveling all over the place shooting things like crazy, I notice from through a door Elijah Wood is observing me. Outdoors, I fly by a giant being of some sort. Standing on the ground in bright daylight in the street , talking animatedly and excitedly about Star Wars with people, and can't remember Harrison Ford's name, I try to remember it for a while

+ crazy tennis: I'm observing a tennis game in some club on a mini-court, I pick up a tennis ball with a quarter embedded in it (under the fuzz), I pull it out and the ball goes completely flat. I pick up another ball that has a hole in it and is flat. I see a container of balls from the group that was just playing but there gone now, I step on to the court, I'm playing against and older woman. I try to bounce-serve the ball but there is a really low net (6 feet) over the whole court that gets in the way, I try a few more times. Then I"m sort of wrestling (standing up) with the woman over position: the point of our game is to shepherd some large blobby jello-y transparent thing on the ground into a goal, the advantage goes back and forth between us for a while.

broken WBTB
eventually BTS

+ walk past woman, whisper "I'm Dreaming!" into her ear and walk on (ARGH!), I feel entirely and totally awake, she calls after me something like "Good for you!" (not sure of wording); riding on train, see kitschy old fast food store fronts passing us on the left, I think they're in amazingly good shape for being so old, sort of dark faded colors. The train stops at a restaurant, I'm there with my kids to order food, there is a bunch of food including a chocolate cake on display on tables in front of the store. I'm trying to enter the store together with my kids but a man gets in my way, we eventually enter and I see that the restaurant is not operating, they're just accepting orders at this time, I sit down with my kids to place an order

+ I'm standing on a street corner in a foreign country with 3 native guys, they're making disparaging remarks about tourists/foreigners, I plan to give foreign-language retorts to each of them. I think they could become threatening to me at any moment. A woman comes to stand in the group. I look behind me and notice the pedestrian walk signal on the crossing is green for me, so I take the opportunity to get away from the guys and hurry across the street.

On the other side up the street a bit (this seems to be the N area of B at E and H streets), I enter a restaurant. I'm looking at the dishes of food displayed on steam trays, it looks really good. I hear someone calling my name, and look back into the restaurant, unsure, they call again and I see a table of 3 guys I don't know gesturing to me, I go and sit with them. One of them claims to be a guy I know, he mentions his face being different? I don't recognize them still but I do get a good look at his face, he's about my age.

+ I return to this restaurant later, and manager at cash register says I can choose an already-prepared dish at a discount, or order a new one at full price, there are a few plates of food on the counter at the register, and I see really good looking dishes (cheese lasagna?, super juicy and cheesy and saucy) at the steam tables.

+ I'm at a table in a restaurant with friends our order hasn't arrived, I leave to get some things; in a different place I watch a young man prepare batches of skewers of meat in a special device, I put a few skewers on the grill to cook(?) a bit farther in, I'm picking up bottles of mayonnaise and drinks, return to the friends with the shopping cart, pick up some drinks and juggle them in my arms as I rejoin my friends at the table, I see that the food has already come and they finished eating already, they ate my order leaving me the wrong one. I see one of my friends hasn't finished a really good looking ground-beef burrito in red sauce so I pick the whole thing up and stuff it in my mouth. Friends are saying that they should leave me 2 orders worth of food since I had ordered two things.
