Two parts, unrelated:
1) I was with my dad in a busy shopping area, maybe Bay Street. I saw some people I knew walking by, but I couldn't quite place where I knew them from. I eventually placed that they were the rest of the ed board on Jacket. I said "hi", but they just kind of stared at me. I realized it was probably because I was wearing turquoise hot pants instead of my regular attire. I felt really stupid for wearing them. As I walked around with my dad in the parking garage, I saw them again, and yelled, "Come on, ONE of you respond to me." Then I realized they weren't the ed board, they were CCA freshmen, and Eric Olson, one of my teachers, was with them. One of them asked me a question about the dorm experience. I felt really embarrassed and told them they didn't have to say anything and to forget about what just transpired. I saw the second chunk of the group later and rushed through them without even looking at them.
2) I was on a train, probably BART. It was crowded, but I had a seat, with an empty seat next to me. A middle-aged Chinese man sat next to me and had a lot of trouble fitting in the chair with his briefcase and other stuff, but I had no problem. He asked me a lot of questions about where I went to school and whatnot, and I answered, truthfully, Hogwarts. (I can't believe I dreamed this. God.) I told him I'd only met Harry Potter once, and he was a bit of a douche, and since it's magic, they have campuses all over the place, I was going to the one in Walnut Creek, though it was kind of technically in Scotland. Throughout the course of the conversation, I morphed into a mid-forties lounge singer and he turned into a hot blonde in a black cocktail dress, and the space around us turned into a nightclub. I think she(?) was planning on killing someone and she asked me all these questions to distract herself from the thing she wasn't looking forward to doing. Then the whole event turned into the page of a comic book and I awoke.
