So, it started at a pool at a health club to which my dream self belonged. It was a small pool, not quite a health-club size hot tub, but certainly much smaller than an olympic-size swimming pool. There were three families swimming in the pool. Somehow I knew that these people were new members and they had no idea how to act. The parents were letting their kids do anything. There was garbage floating around the pool and they'd even ordered a pizza and were eating it in the pool. Then I noticed one of the kids was drowning. He was kinda struggling under water and couldn't seem to get above the surface, so I saved him. The mother was like, "Oh, I was going to help him, I was just making sure he wasn't faking."
Later, when we were all leaving, I pointed out to the rest of the members that these families were behaving inappropriately and went on this weird tirade about how dangerous it was to have garbage floating in the water because you could accidentally inhale it and choke. I mentioned that I've been a member of the health club for 6 years and that it was clear that these people were new members. They felt bad and lowered their heads.
Yeah, kinda weird.
Later, me and some friends (no one I know in Waking life) are all cleaning an apartment. We're all sorta unmotivated and not doing a very good job, but then one of my friends decides that he wants to really clean and he starts like ripping up carpeting and scrubbing every surface really clean. It sorta catches on and we all start cleaning frantically and the same guy decides he wants to clean naked for some reason. So he takes his clothes off and then we all do and we're all cleaning naked and I realize we're getting ready for a party.
Soon, the party-goers start arriving and we freak out a little and run and hide to put on our clothes. One of the guys who was cleaning decides he's going to show a special movie to three of the party-goers. Before allowing them to view, he warns that the movie is "very intense" and wants to make sure they "can handle it." All three of them say that they can. The guy pulls out three pairs of special goggles. As they put the goggles on, it appears that there is a mirror on the back of the goggles and they see their own eyes. The beginning of the movie gives the illusion that they are taking the goggles off their face and that the environment around them is completely different. I don't really remember any part of the movie in the new environment, but I have the feeling that my mind created this vast weird psychedelic thing.

Another thing I dreamed was really weird. I dreamed that this guy I've been seeing and I were fooling around and he told me he loved me.

When I woke up the following morning, he was laying next to me and I was like, "either I dreamed this or you said it, but either way, it's really weird and awkward and I don't even know if I want to bring it up." We had been drinking the night before, so it seemed possible that I'd just blurred it out. And the more I thought about it, the more I remembered thinking, "did he just say that?" It was a really awkward thing because we haven't been seeing one another very long.

He'd mentioned Seinfeld a little earlier, and the whole situation seemed a little Seinfeldian.

Ultimately, it was a dream, Erik confirmed. We laughed about it. But it was still a little awkward.
