I slept poorly but I had a dream.
I went with Cat to a house in the middle of an empty prairie to visit friends of her who lived there for the first time (they only exist within this dream). Jason, his wife Stacy, and Ethen, all in their 30s. It was an older house with lots of sticky looking wallpaper, yellowed floor tile, and old wooden furniture (some of which was cool looking). We got in late in the evening so we prepped for bed. Ethen was really close with Cat and they went off and chatted in another room while I prepped a couple of air mattresses. Jason and Stacy talked to me about something that I don't remember, then gave me general instructions about where to find the bathroom, where they keep their towels, etc. I ended up going to bed.
I awoke (within the dream) to find Jason lying on top of me (I was sleeping on my stomach). Having only just met him that made me very uncomfortable. I asked him if he would get off of me but he didn't. Then I saw Ethen sitting in a nearby chair laughing at the situation, making fun of me for being sensitive. Cat was laughing as well from the other side of the room where her air mattress had been moved to. Stacy must've still been asleep.
Finally I gently forced Jason off of me and asked if I could get some more sleep since I had only slept a couple hours, but Ethen was anxious for everyone to get up so we could play his game. Eventually I was left alone in the room as everyone else was getting ready for this game. I took my time getting around because I was so exhausted and unmotivated. I didn't much care for the vibe of these people. I eventually made my way downstairs. I helped myself to a bagel in the kitchen, then went to the backyard.
There I found a gigantic encaged field with complicated markings and lines all about. There were clear plastic walls surrounding all sides of the field, and it was shaped like an 'l.' There were about a dozen people all dressed in athletic gear playing this game, including everyone in the dream so far, some random strangers, and Questlove. In this game, the players would chuck marbles at the walls and other players would try to catch them before they hit the ground. It seemed very dangerous and too simple to be fun. Questlove seemed to be having a great time though, so I thought I'd give it a try. For some reason there were rubber bands lying about everywhere. Questlove chucked a big marble near me and I dove on the ground to catch it. Someone else threw a whole handful of marbles at me while I was lying on the ground, which seemed like not a part of the game. I looked up and it had been Ethan.
Then I awoke.
