I was wandering around a big mall with Walter and a large group of "friends". There was one store that was not open yet, but it was named for a friend of mine and had some ugly brown sofa-chairs in it and some matching drapery lying about the store. Supposedly it was going to be a home decorating service, though I noticed on the opposite side of the store (you could go in from either side) there were lots of pictures of my friend and a few pictures depicting manicures/nail service. I turned to Walter and told him, "See, look" and pointed out the ugly furniture I had told him about.
We left the mall after a while and we were going to pick up my grandmother from somewhere (the beauty parlor?). She had driven (she's never had a driver's license!) there herself in a car, but I was going to drive her back home. We escorted her from the building and we all piled into this car. Somehow we all (friends and all) fit in the car and were going to decide where to go to eat after dropping my grandmother off. I asked Walter what we were going to do with the van, because we had driven from the mall to go get her in the van. I think he was just going to leave it there and we'd go back to get it when we went to eat.
Then I was at a concert with all these people ("friends"?) which included my mom. We were fairly close to the stage, like in the second section, center. The opening act came out, and it was a big entourage. Lots of backup singers, percussion, horn players and other various musicians. Sting was singing lead. I was surprised to see Sting as an "opening" act of any kind, as well as being surprised that my mom was there, too. Some people were milling around, and I was supposed to meet up with friends of mine, a couple. I saw a strange looking couple dressed up in Roaring 20's gear - the girl was a "flapper" with a lilac dress with a ton of fringe on it, including a headband. The guy was dressed similarly, but I don't remember specifics. They saw me and ran over to me and it was then I realized it was my friends. I don't know why they were dressed funny. They came and sat next to me and we watched Sting perform. I turned to the girl and said, "I'm really glad that Sting is the opening act..." and before I could complete the sentence, she shushed me and said I shouldn't interrupt her and her boyfriend. I agreed, and then noticed that she and her boyfriend were kissing an awful lot, and apparently that was what I was interrupting.
Then I was at a hotel with some strange people I didn't know. There was a bathroom down the hall from the room I was in and someone was in there until this young teenage girl (tomboyish) was telling the guy, "You know you can't use that, it's broken." So the guy came out, pulling up his pants as he walked. Another girl went in after the guy and the teen disappeared, and she tried to flush but it just kept running. She came out and saw me standing there and said, "Is that broken?" and I shrugged innocently. Then I went to another room, where my friends were, still in bed. I opened the door and told them it was time for them to get up and they sleepily agreed.
There was some whole other part of the dream about my friends. We were riding in this bus or car, seeing some sights in town (whatever town that was). I remember passing by a big tall building like a Hilton or something where they had a holiday train that you could ride. It was positioned way up high and it looked like a steep way to ride a train. I mumbled something about it and then realized the train only went around in a small circle up on the 7th or 8th floor, in front of the front doors and lobby. My friends just ignored me.

ONLY a DREAM!**
