Dream 1 - Toys and a Case of Mistaken Identity

I am at a toy store, and am browsing through the toys on the wall. A young female salesperson asks me if I need help and, not wanting her to think that I still play with toys, I tell her that I am Christmas shopping for my younger brother. The girl suggests a $109 Hot Wheels race track but I only have $50. I pick out a Transformer toy and find a place in the shop to sit. The same girl sits next to me and begins speaking to me as if we are good friends, makes me uncomfortable.

Later on, I leave the shopping centre via large concrete steps which strike me as very dangerous as, not only is there no safety railing, but the shop is apparently a hundred or so metres above ground level. As I am walking I notice a figure towards the bottom of the steps running at a very fast pace, as if he is trying to escape someone. For some reason, I am compelled to run after him, but as I arrive at the bottom of the steps I am confronted by a group of angry people who have mistaken me for the figure I was chasing.

Dream 2 - Meditation and Two and a Half Men

It is night and I am in the outside room of my house, having just learnt of the connection between meditation and astral projection/OBEs (Note: as I had prior to falling asleep in real life). I decided I wanted to experience this phenomenon for myself and began to meditate, making sure to breathe from my belly and focus on the buzzing one hears in their ears when all else is quiet. After about three minutes, I began feeling a heavy vibration accompanied by strange ghost-like noises that startled me out of my meditative state. Frightened, I ran inside and sat on the living room couch. Thankfully my family was awake which calmed me immediately, however proved problematic as I still wanted to meditate. All my subsequent attempts were interrupted by my youngest brother and the television set, which was playing my most despised of shows: Two and a Half Men. I got up to switch the television off but as I turned to sit it switched back on. I switched it off a second time but once again as I turned around it switched back on. This happened about three or four more times.
