Alex and I are at a church service project in Taylorsville. After it ends, we decide to go home. Alex can fly and offers to fly me home. So he wraps his arms around me and we fly- standing, then floating up and over- to my parents' home. I ask him in for a drink.

Japanese, New Roommate, and Dancing
Late Morning Nap
I am Japanese-American and going to BYU. Lindsay is told by the management that we will be getting a new roommate. A Japanese man. None of us know why they are having a man live with us.
So this guy and his parents show up and he starts moving in, at which point we realize that our apartment is full and we don't have a place for him to sleep. So our questions go from, "Why did they put a boy into an apartment of girls?" to "Why did they put a boy into a full apartment of girls?" But I am relieved to discover that this guy speaks English and not just Japanese.
I go off with my family, where I talk to my sister about some story I wrote that featured a character based off of her. And my parents want to see my old stories, to see if any of them reflect my Japanese heritage at all. They don't- all the stories are very American in situations, settings, and conventions.
There is also a flashback where I am canoeing with my parents and we get into an argument and I push Mom out of the canoe, then dive in and save her.
Because I have not properly appreciated my Japanese heritage, my parents pull me out of BYU, which I am apparently attending. And I have to move out of my apartment, which makes room for the new roommate. But it turns out that he is only there to make a documentary about me getting pulled from BYU, and everybody knew that it would happen except for me.
Then I read in a Japanese newspaper that he is a retard- the English word retard, in our alphabet, actually appears in the middle of a bunch of Japanese type.
I go to look for some sort of blue collar job, and the retarded documentary guy is there. He gives me a tip on how to solve something that I was given to fix as a sort of try-out before they interview me. It works.
Then he turns into a blond, blue-eyed guy. And I discover that my parents had used his sister to humiliate me before, when I was about 13.
We go to a concert on a date, where I discover that he is a well-known, gifted songwriter because they play some of his songs there. And he asks me to dance. So we do.
Then some other guy asks me to dance, and I go along even though I don't want to, then leave him to go back to my Japanese white guy date, who is no longer retarded, and who I like very much at this point.

More Cohabitation and a Road Trip
A girl Ross used to be interested in is pregnant, hormonal, and moody.
My parents come over to visit me at my apartment, which I am sharing with Ross. They don't seem to care much about this fact.
I am in the living room with Ross, and I really want him to kiss me, but I know he shouldn't because if my parents see us kissing they will be against us living together and will make me move out.
We go on a road trip with a bunch of characters from Sarah Dessen's book This Lullaby. And some little kid. And at some point we stop at a church, where there is a wedding reception and/or some sort of EFY thing going on, while the place is being remodeled.

Overaffectionate Boys and Service
I'm over at Alan's house watching TV when suddenly he leans over and starts kissing me. I'm a bit confused for a minute- like, "Who is kissing me? Do I want him to kiss me?" Then I figure out who it is and say, "Please stop." And he does, but then I feel bad for hurting his feelings and think maybe I should have just kissed him back.
Later, we go tutor at a local elementary school for FHE. We meet beforehand to carpool and I just let myself into the first car I see that is almost full. The guy I'm sitting next to tries to put his arm around me and stroke my hair, but I don't even know him. So I get out of my seat and sit on the car floor. And he's upset because I had apparently been giving him signals that I wanted him to do that. Then I notice that Alan is the one driving. And it is awkward.
We get to the school and I get a drink from the water fountain. After a few seconds someone tells me to stop drinking, and I do, but not before I get some sludge in my mouth. Apparently there is something wrong with this fountain and it spews sludge towards the end of every drink. So I've got this stuff all over my teeth for the rest of the dream.
Then we pair off and each team goes to work with a separate group of kids and I can't remember any more.

Pregnancy and an Inattentive Husband
I was very pregnant and married, but I couldn't remember ever sleeping with my husband, so I worried that I must have cheated on him and that would probably hurt the relationship. Then I realized that I couldn't remember ever sleeping with anyone. And even though I was very pregnant, I wasn't showing yet.
The time came to have my baby and for some reason I decided that it would be better to do that in a bathroom stall than at the hospital. So I tried, but someone found out what was going on and dragged me to the hospital, where I had twin baby girls.
My husband came back from some long trip and I tried to hug him, but he resisted, and I showed him our daughters and he was like, "Oh, that's cool" and then went to his other wife and they were all over each other.
The dream went on for a while longer, but I don't remember any details.

Proposals
I am Rayyan from Little Mosque on the Prairie (a Canadian television show). Amaar (another character from the show) and I are spending a lot of time together and romance is growing. Eventually, he proposes to me- using orange flowers because I said my favorite flower was the tiger lily, but the flowers he uses aren't tiger lilies.
Then I turn into myself, and Jeremy also proposes to me. He knows that purple is my favorite color, so he gets tons of bouquets of purple flowers and sets them up around this really cool ice chest he bought me in the area he proposes. Because the ice chest is so cool I accept his proposal. And I feel like since I'm going to marry him, I should tell him that I love him. So I do. But as I'm whispering this in his ear, I realize that the person who I really love and should be telling that I love him is Dane.

Hiking and Death
I am hiking across Utah with a small group of friends. Around midday, we meet up with a few other groups who are doing the same thing. It is Hike Across Utah day. We all stop for lunch. While we are eating, someone drives by and shoots and kills Derek. I start crying because my friend has just been shot and killed right in front of my eyes. But I keep trying not to cry because I am afraid that if anyone sees me crying they would assume I am in love with Derek, but I'm not.
