September 1:

There's a big mall, and it's pretty empty, there are multiple stories, like Horton Plaza. At another place in the mall there are some other people. Three guys, like bro type guys. I go to one floor of the mall, and I'm looking for a t-shirt. I had some trouble getting to the right store. For some reason I'm in an aisle, and there's a buzzing. Like I had been working on something, and when I left the aisle there was a small handheld device that started buzzing. I left it and walked away. The bros went over to it to turn it off. And it was embarrassing because it was my responsibility to take care of it because I left it there. I went downstairs to a lower floor of the mall to do something else, and when I went to leave, some people were coming over to that same floor. The bottom floor of the mall became the house of a friend of mine (Mark). There was something else buzzing. Like a small box that was connected to a TV antenna cable. I tried to turn it off. It wouldn't. I unplugged it. That didn't work. More people arrived. Mark, his parents, and a girlfriend that Mark had (not his real life wife). I was really envious of Mark, because of his girlfriend, who I really liked. And in the dream he had a previous girlfriend who I also liked. I remembered thinking that Mark was much more fortunate than I was. Then I woke up.

Next one. Same night:
For some reason, I and a couple other people are trying to break in to some compound. We think nobody is there. At one point I figure out a way to get in. But once we're in, we see someone walking around in a courtyard with a weapon. I and one other person I'm with, on a balcony, stop and try not to move, so we won't alert the person with the weapon. At that point we hear some sort of projectile (bullet) fly over our heads. I'm sure it was't from the guy we saw with the weapon, but from someone else. We try to leave, and some of us can, but not all of us. Not sure why. Me and one other person are stuck in the compound for some reason.

New scene, I think: Then, I'm in a room with a bunch of people and I'm trying to explain to them that if you're standing on the ground, and someone is standing next to you, you can tell by the shift of weight on their feet, which you can feel in your own feet if you are attentive enough, if they are going to run or attack you. Half way through my explanation people stop listening to me and start talking to each other. It's a hostile crowd. Mitt Romney is also in the crowd. He comes up to me, and is clearly embarrassed that some of the people, including some of his sons, aren't listening to me. Finally one of his sons comes up and stands in front of me, and looks very aggressive. He throws a fake punch, but I don't flinch. [end]
