Bungee horses
I was with a group of people in the woods, near a medium-sized pond or reservoir. Next to the water was a framework tower, maybe three or four stories high. Two people from our group were playing a weird sport where they each were mounted on a horse, and around each horse's midsection was tied a bungee cord. Both horses, with the guys on them, were dangling from the tower over the water, slowly bouncing up and down (it was a rather springy cord) and swaying back and forth. The idea was to knock your opponent off his horse, and the two came close to each other a few times and scuffled. I can't say I recall either one falling in the water.

Heart vs. Heart, and a "brisk" visit to the library
I was down in some utility area, in a longish cramped hallway, one whole side of which was little alcove after alcove. In the first alcove, I saw a technician hooking a guy up with a curious device. It was a thick cable with a connector at the end -- the connector was round, like a midi connector, but it was the size of one's fist and had maybe thirty prongs in it. The technician somehow plugged it straight into the guy's heart. The point was that the other end was connected to someone else's heart, and depending on who was more prepared, more focused, had more control over their body, their heart's beating would disrupt the other person's heart, causing them to die.
The original guy who was getting hooked up was apparently a master at this, and he went from alcove to alcove, hooking up and "winning" each round. I declined an opportunity to try it out. Anyway, dad and I needed to stop by the library on the way to work and return the third Twilight book, which I had read 3/4 of the way through but had lost the will to finish it.
We got to the library (very much like Potomac Branch), walked through the parking lot and went inside. Halfway to the circulation desk, I noticed (and so did some others, I'm guessing) that I wasn't wearing any clothes. I considered the situation. Obviously it hadn't bothered me up to that point, but I thought I might get kicked out of the library for violating their policies. However, nobody else complained, so I carried on, dropped off the book, and walked out.

German friend teaches me to levitate
In some kind of game world (basically a suburban/semi-urban setting with parks and stuff), my German friend (not a real person) is demonstrating how to levitate. I'm watching what he does. He starts out by crossing his legs slightly (while standing up, mind you), and then some other fancy stuff and voilà. It takes me a minute, but I finally seem to have it figured out. I cross my legs a little, then spam the space bar, while continuing to move around with the direction keys. I go back to my home base and show my friend there.

Phone Pictionary
Sitting around a table with three or four other guys (seemed like the rest were in their 40’s or older), playing something to the effect of "Phone Pictionary". We were on a conference call to one or more people. Basically, we had picked out a term which the other party had to say to complete the round. We drew a picture, and then verbally described that picture to the people on the phone. The example that I remember was that I had drawn, with pencil on white paper, two hats -- one tall, dome-shaped, with a narrow circular brim, somewhat resembling a tan denim bobby hat; the other of a similar overall shape but shorter and squatter, apparently a women's hat. The two hats were nestled up to each other, both facing forward towards the viewer, and the front brim of each one had been folded downwards. The correct term, which the other party eventually came up with, was "confide".

Ring matches in Heather's basement
Team ring matches (boxing? wrestling?) in the (very large) basement of Heather's house. My team won. Woo. After the matches, we deflated everything. Wandered around, and some lady was congratulating everyone on the team, shook my hand.

"Cat or Callisto?"
"Cat or Callisto?"
Standing in line to fight "Callisto" - a human-sized beast. Looked like a shaved cat with less pointy ears.
A half-Asian girl in front of me kicks his ass, and we move to harder difficulty.
Callisto can smack; scream in your face which stuns and hurts you; or breathe on you making you giddy for a few seconds. (I did experience the giddiness in my dream. Felt... giddy.)

Rebecca at IHOP; weird games
Rebecca M and her mother (who I hadn't met in real life — in the dream she seemed kind of mean) sitting on a curb at a parking lot of IHOP or some other chain restaurant like that. Rebecca changed into Stephanie B.
-
I was watching the progress of a weird game, the goal of which was to land a spotted egg in cup-shaped top of a tower. It seemed like something out of The Flintstones.-
Addictive toys — names: "view cube", "unending meshed dog" (? — turning cubes; one in the middle of the bottom had a chain coming out). Strange computer keyboard (multiples of certain letters; "L" key was hard to find compared to others), given by Greg, it seems.
