Fragments:
1.
Was in my house and new people were moving in. Some of them had complaints about the place and they had their families and friends helping them. I got angry at my friend because she deposited two checks of mine but then my receipt showed that I was losing money. I then threw her bowl with fruit against the kitchen wall and stormed upstairs. When I got upstairs I was in a mansion and I was watching Harry Potter auditions on television but none of the actors matched real life. I missed my girlfriend who was downstairs and wondered what she thought of my angry outburst. She was gone but she had cleaned up my mess.
2.
I was in Seaside. I was waiting for a friend. I kept calling/texting him and he kept saying that he was on his way. He wasn't showing up though and when I tried calling him again, it went to voicemail. He was at a pizza place. I met him finally later in a river setting. It changed into an indoor pool. It gets hazy. My high school girlfriend was there. He was mad or jealous of me because I had more free time than him. It turned into a bar. I was trying to talk to the bartender and the other customers.
3.
I happened upon a group of people. They were playing a game outside. I asked to join. I just remember the rules. We had to make a meal for the group but do it more slowly than any other person. I guess the game was a test of patience. I remember thinking how stupid it sounds and I didn't want to play. This dream occurred in the middle of the night. I woke up, thought it was a stupid dream not worth writing down. I was tired.

I was at a bar with a friend named Betsey. It was populated by hipsters and on the same road that was also the setting of my dream where I had a fight with a homeless man. The bar had the character of being a food court. Even though it was a bar, me and Betsey were drinking coffee and sharing a small cigar. We were passing it back and forth with each other. I started, passed it to her, and then smoked the rest so that I got 2/3 of the cigar. I felt that this was unfair. Also, the cigar was falling apart as we were passing it. Most people in the bar were smoking and I mentioned, "I thought that smoking in a bar was illegal in New Jersey." I saw a high school acquaintance named CJ. He didn't acknowledge me even though I was trying to meet him in eye contact. Suddenly some friends of Betsey came into the scene. I didn't recognize them and they barely said a word. One of them was lying down in her chair. They reminded me of the friends of my real life ex-girlfriend who I had met last month at a bar. Then I had an idea. I said, "Betsey, we should go to your place and watch TV!' She was excited by that idea. We started walking out and she change to my current girlfriend for a little while. I was mostly naked and had to go back to the table to retrieve my clothes. Betsey was back when I went outside again. There was no car. A man offered that we take a huge Rutgers bus. Betsey offered to drive it because I was nervous. She is totally confident. The bus is dirty. I sit in the second row (because it's safer than the front row) and buckle up. We start to drive through New Brunswick. She is driving too fast and I am nervous. WE accidentally get onto Route 18 South when we should get on North. When we are on it it changes to "Amwell Road" and becomes a country road. She keeps swerving into the other lane and onto the lawns that are on teh side of the road. I say we are going to crash. She denies it. I say, "when you keep drifting off the road like that, we will crash" and she laughs. Next we go straight into a tree. I start coming into the mind between waking and dreaming. I try to will myself to make the airbags go off but they don't. Instead I have a vision of a light crunching of the front of the bus. I then have the thought, "lt's okay if you crash in a dream" and just as soon as I have that thought I wake up.
