Dream log: evading things

i dreamt last night that I was in New Jersey again near my university. I found a bike that was just a metal frame, all made of one type of metal rod, so very rickety bike. I was riding it, and at one point, I was going to go downhill to an area near the dining hall.

I rode it down and then tossed it aside after I was done. At the dining hall, I notice nobody was really checking entry, so I went in and started taking some food, just a mini pancake onto a plate. Once someone noticed me, I just said proactively, oh is this where you pay? And she charged me, and I tapped my credit card. I then went to get some soft serve. They had soft serve on a mini boat tray with 3 different sauces on top. One was a tropical punch, the other was chocolate. Maybe the third was caramel salt, I don’t remember. That was a different area. The dining hall area had small cones. I made some selection by accident in the machine, and I got soft serve for two of them, and it was the white kind with a soft serve flavor of two of them on top, instead of a drizzle.

Eventually, I was outside some elementary school. We were going there to scout the grounds for some other reason. It was me and two other people. I think one of them might’ve been like my mom or something, but it was like a professional blend of her, not a maternal mom vibe.

At the entrance, the principal or school official gave us quick directions to where things were, like the main theater at the end. Then we went to the dining hall. There was a section for hot foot. One area had steaks + mashed potatoes coming out. A guy in front of me took two of the steaks that just came out. The last part was also a steak, so I took it for myself. Then I think a dessert came out, and he grabbed it with his hands, which pissed me off.

At another point, I was in a government building, and the tyrant was showing me fancy documents and awards, and I think I was an important person, like someone who also had awards/won things either for science or art, I don’t remember. Someone then came to attack me along with others, and we were all busy fighting. The main guy was a spy now turned, and I kept trying to keep his arms down, but he had a fake arm too that was flapping around. And he had a sharp hook in one of his hands. I dug it into himself, and he bled, then I got scared because if it cut me, I might get infected with blood-transmitted disease. But I remembered I took doxy and am on Prep so should be ok. I think it did slightly scratch me so that scared me. We were struggling and wrestling for a while.

Later, I was outside at a pool area, and some of the minerals in the pool were actually bad for your skin. And Ned from Try Guys was just in his swim trunks in the pool when that was announced, so he jumped out in fear, and went into the arms of another boy. And I was looking at their faces and thinking they looked kinda cute with nice lips.

Later, we went to another pool adjacent to this one. People had their feets in it, and we were competing to see who could keep touching the bottom the longest. I put my feet in with my shoes on, just so the sole was touching the first step, so I could participate, and there was another guy near me and we were talking. I think joining later didn’t affect it because they didn’t notice. Eventually ppl left the pool, and I thought I was the last one, but I actually had lifted my legs out because they were sore, which I didn’t even notice, so I put it back in, and then asked the arbiter to confirm I won. And he confirmed I did, so I took my feet out. Oh! I think maybe I got my dream order wrong. This is probably the part that transitioned into the government building where I was awarded something. The documents included things like old photos, gold ish things.
