Here is a dream.
In the first part of the dream, I entered a large bar with my brother Mike. Bethel College was showing a film there that had been made my several students at Bethel and was funded by the college (it was an interesting venue choice since Bethel doesn't allow their students to go into bars or drink). There was an open bar, and I grabbed a tea (yes, they served tea) before sitting down in a folding chair facing a projector screen.
The movie started, and I managed to sit through the entire thing. It was well over an hour long, and it wanted to be hilarious, but it was horribly obvious and boring. Somehow Bethel had tons of cameos, including Samuel L. Jackson, Adam Sandler, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and more. Some of these cameos were just stills animated with voices of Bethel students, but others were actually in it somehow. I was perplexed and angry simultaneously. There were some occasional special fx (there were a ton of explosions) that were impressive, but I couldn't stand most of the film. The plot revolved around a game called 'Ambush' (created by Andrew DeSelm) where people had to target each other, eliminating them until there was only one last survivor (it's a bit more complicated than that, but I don't think I need to explain all the rules here). Basically, there were many death scenes in this film.
When it was finally over, I was happy to leave.
The second part of the dream flowed seamlessly from the first. I walked out of the bar and was in New York City. I decided to go on a walk, and walk I did. It was afternoon when I started, and I walked clear past sunset into the night. Finally I decided that I should find a place to stay, so I knocked on a random door. Gwyneth Paltrow answered the door and told me she didn't feel like hosting a guest, though she suggested I try an apartment across the street. I walked over and found that the door was open. I walked inside the dark apartment and found it to be empty. So I wandered around through the kitchen and living room until I entered the bedroom. There was a bunk bed in there, and I climbed up to the top bunk and wrapped myself up in the dinosaur sheets and blankets on the bed. There was a Batman pillow case with the face of the Joker on it that I remembered from my childhood (I used to be terrified of that face), so I flipped the pillow over to the Batman-faced side.
Suddenly a light was turned on in the next room. I cowered under the covers. I saw the silhouette of a woman standing in the doorway.
Then I awoke.
