sorry, more than two sentences, for once i remember some details.
i was alone in a big house, and noticed the bathroom door was open even though i thought i closed it. i went inside, feeling creepy, but leaving the door open, and then looking up i saw the door was closed now. i was very tired though and barely could keep my eyes open to see if anyone is around. i also had a mattress with me for some reason, so i leaned against it to nap a bit - if there was anyone going to attack me, i wanted to be rested, at least.
later i left the bathroom and there were people but they were my relatives who had come home without me knowing, and they had saved me some breakfast. i started eating some really nice chicken and someone handed me bread made from deep fried toast crust stuck together in a ring. i also had my cello hidden under the table, as i had to work but wanted to practice a bit in between - though i knew i should rather study math instead.
later i met some people from my climbing group who in this dream were in my cello class (i never took a cello class in my life) and they said they had sent me the papers from last class that i missed, and there was a note in there: they wanted to come by tomorrow. they wouldn't say why and i feared it was to check if i had practiced at all, which so far i hadn't.
later i came up with a song that was sung along with a very rhythmic repetition of the same tone on the cello, easy to play but i thought it sounded impressive enough to cover up that i never actually practiced ...
there was also a bus journey somewhere in the dream, and getting big pieces of luggage to the bus, but i don't remember the details of that.

I only remember the 2nd one. I was going to use the metro train but it wasn't running. So my back up plan was to use Uber. So I met the guy who I thought was the Uber driver, but he was fake and was taking me back to the train because he didn't have a car. I think it was running then and I rather just accepted that he would be my escort.
The first one might have been about this neighborhood I have visited in dreams before. It sort of exists in real life but in the dreams its different.

i was in a low security military prison, but it was more like the large cellar of an old canadian farmhouse. there were other people with me, and although annoyed, we were in good spirits. i saw my partner outside joking around with some of the personnel in charge, and as soon as he saw me, he came in the open doors, gave me a big hug and said he was doing his best to find out why i was in there, as it was clearly a mistake and i needed to get home.
i woke feeling much happier than i should have been from a mystery imprisonment.

i was at soulcurry's wedding, as quirky as you'd expect; guests were all asked to bring a large piece of colourful fabric. the groom raised guinea pigs, and at the end of the wedding i discovered that all the water we'd drunk was guinea pig urine that had gone through a filtration system the groom had invented--it was fascinating and not at all gross.
(after waking, i realised the groom is, in real life, 1) gay, and 2) already married.)

At work the other day, I overheard two people congratulating one of the young women on the staff. She is either engaged or pregnant (I haven't worked out which yet). Last night I dreamt that it was neither. She has got a new job in an exotic country.

I was driving with my Mum to Mexico in my nissan micra and the car broke down. Somebody gave me a 1980s Fiat Panda, which was tiny, and my Mum tried to repair my Micra by realigning about 10000 AAA batteries in the boot.

I moved to a small village in Wales and got a job as a doctor's receptionist and managed to turn around the fortunes of the local rugby team. The town was very pretty.

I went to New York to visit Webs and I was staying with her, she lived with her sisters and the roof was leaking because of a beaver that was living in the roof. I couldn't stay very long because I had to get back to NZ for a meeting (the meeting was real and was happening the next day)

i was in a very shallow hot pool, and a young man was seriously flirting with several women. a few of us took him up on his offers, whereupon he suddenly lost his bravado, and showed none of the skills he'd promised. i was thoroughly disgusted with him, as if i was going to get some nookie on the side, it would have to be very high quality to justify my bad behaviour.
(this sort of dream happens every couple of years, and disturbs me. at least in real life i have no interest in this.)

I was watching a video of a private party where Radiohead was playing, and then I noticed that Obama had been there, and was like damn! I would have done anything to be there! (Kinda feel that way IRL)

so to offset my poor behaviour in previous dream, last night i dreamed that my partner and i were getting it on, but we had to keep stopping to talk to people. oddly, there was no problem with people chatting right next to us, it was how many of them we had to talk to that was the problem.

at some point during last night's dream, a. got to open a present someone has got her, and it was a big lego star wars figurine. she looked a bit confused and serious and then slowly started to smile, and i wanted her to react more excited for the sake of the person giving it to her, and told her this is star wars and how cool that she gets a star wars figurine when that's what she always wanted but that i told her she is still to small for ...

i was back at my old high school, admiring how the driver's education training cars were done up like bumper cars, to protect other people from the students. i was chatting about this with the instructor, who had the worst teeth ever; in braces, really thick but broken in half and at angles.

I was at a fair talking to this bongo drummer (who was some relation to me?) who was working there, and he was really angry because this little kid (my brother?) was supposed to be working there with him but instead was fooling around and playing, and the drummer told me if I saw that kid to get him to get back to work. I get home and the kid walks in, says he's been playing with his friends, and I say he's got to hurry to get back to the fair because he's in trouble; then I hear the friends turning the doorknob to come in so I lock the door and lean against it to keep them from coming in.

at some point, i was very angry at my brother and his wife ... part of it was that i addressed my niece, trying to stop her from doing something that might hurt my nephew, and i used an endearing form of her name (like, a diminutive) and my sister in law told me off for it and said they have decided to only use their kids proper names, and explained some ill effects diminutive forms of the names can have. i went outside feeling kind of made and then argued with her in the hallway, but we kind of came to an agreement.
strange, since then during the day today i got kind of annoyed at them, but then later we spoke again and things were good again.

i was riding my bike to work, and stupidly rode it over some hard concrete step-like things, and of course got a flat. So i was trying to find a bus that would take me and my bike to work.
i woke up feeling stressed.

work dreams, including possibly having sex with a colleague who was cross-dressing. (in real life, i don't find him attractive, and had assumed he was gay)

This is some creepy ass shit, but surprisingly I didn't wake up with my heart pounding.
So in the dream I was sleeping face down and someone shook me awake. I was afraid to open my eyes because it was as if I was in my own home and should have been alone. I guess this was a dream.

someone i didn't know was in our kitchen. as i came to the kitchen, he muttered something about some mistake and then left, but in a way like he didn't really think there was a problem. i felt a bit unsure if we should still eat our food and if we shouldn't sanitize the kitchen, but i also realize he wasn't the first stranger to suddenly appear in the appartment, and that maybe we should start locking the door.

I woke up after a very clear one this morning, involving chasing someone around a very strange town, but twelve hours later can't remember most of the details.

various things again ...
- there was star wars music. i think there were star wars things happening, too, but i only remember the music.
- i was packing, which somehow was difficult, as i couldn't remember what i needed to bring. later i was sitting in a car and we were driving towards really beautiful mountains - the landscape i saw put me into a good mood, until i realized i had forgotten to pack my camera.
- we had neighbours i assumed were japanese, but who turned out to be from a spanish speaking country, and somehow they started hanging out at our apartment. they mentioned a library or book store for books in spanish, that i used to go to, and that the people working there wouldn't give you a book until they made sure you really spoke spanish and understood the topic of the book. i said i didn't remember them ever being difficult with me.

I was at the office and this IT person came into my office who was a very tall woman with this fantastic half-shaved braids/locs kind of hairdo. She was holding two large erasers that had been carved into the shape of animals, and one was brand-new and the other was very old and dirty - I got the impression that the dirty one was causing the IT problem that she'd come around to solve.

i forgot which page i was on, and was having a hell of a time working out why erasers would cause IT problems.

My parents had some sort of game in their printer which involved trying to roll a certain value of coins from the beginning of the print tray into a moving bowl, before the bowl moved to the beginning of the print tray. I'd lost a lot of money and for my final try, i was all set to win but then a 50 pence coin fell flat and when under the bowl, rather than into it.
(i woke up really frustrated, but then thought, ah! if it's my parents' printer, i can always get the money back later.)
