Last night's dream was..weird. All levels of weird. Haha. I'll break them down by events because they happened in different places(?)/intervals(?).
1st event:
[spoiler]In my dream, it was during summer vacation when this happened. Since my mom's sister and her 5-year old and 9-year old daughter were vacationing with us, the family decided to go on a road trip to show them around the city. The members of the family present were my mom, dad, twin sister, my Auntie and her daughters, one of my younger male cousins, and my older cousin (who was the driver). We rode in a family van, something like
this (our car is didn't from this one so I have no idea where we got it from). We've already had gone a long way so we stopped for a while in this certain part of the city (where there were many buildings, restaurants, etc.) and we parked near La Mia Tazza Coffee (a cafe, I saw the sign). Since it was hot, everyone got down to cool off while my twin sister decided to stay in the car. We went to the other side of the street were there was more shade. I took out my camera and began taking pictures while the rest were discussing where to have lunch and where to pass the night. All of a sudden, we hear the car's engine starting and turned around to see a stranger in the driver seat! He drove the van away (my sister was still in the vehicle and I could see that she was scared) and my cousin and dad went after it. I remember seeing my mom and Auntie frantically calling for help on the phone while I was all too shocked to move. Time fast forwarded and we got the car back. While my parents reported the incident to the police, I sat down on a concrete bench under a giant oak tree. A guy wearing jeans and a blue shirt approached me and started to talk to me (I have no idea what our conversation was about). I recognized him as my classmate during my senior year in high school so I asked him "Excuse me, but do I know you?" He replied "No."
I shrugged it off and my parents called for me because we were going to look for a restaurant to eat in. I got in the van and sat in the back seat with my sister and female cousins. The vehicle was very spacious but for some reason my younger male cousin decided to stay outside the van and just hold unto the railing(?) on the back of it. The guy who talked to me earlier also hopped on the back of the van to join my cousin and I felt annoyed/irritated that he was joining us when in the first place he wasn't someone we knew.
We stopped at this really nice restaurant, parked the van, and we all got down. My dad approached a security guard and told him to keep an eye on our car. As we were walking to the restaurant, I saw that the guy from earlier was still with us and noone reacted like they knew him (I felt like they probably didn't even see him).

2nd event:
[spoiler]The location I was in now was in my other Aunt's neighborhood and I was in a shaded place and everyone was walking around like it wasn't scorching hot. It also seemed like I was the one under the shade and I kept on squinting because the brightness of the day was a bit too much for me. I was observing people passing by and I saw a trio that stood out from the crowd. It was pretty weird because I couldn't recognize if they were female or male. They had make up on and were dressed up in a one-piece swimsuit (one wore color orange, the other brown, and the other was yellow) and they had a sort of hijab on their heads too and another long cloth they waved around their bodies (someone was holding a color purple because this color struck me the most for some reason). One of them even used it to cover his/her(?) buttocks while they were walking. They walked towards a line of unmanned pedicabs and they chose out a particular
padyak (it looked like
this except that it was beige/peach/brown in color) and they started to kind of do weird, seductive(?) poses on it (like they were modeling or something). I laughed seeing this scene and I realized that everything else had turned into a shade of monochrome while they were the only ones in color. I saw them put out a sign and it read something like: Massage:$5 Hands:$10 Face:$100 (I couldn't read the other words). It suddenly occurred to me that were probably massage therapists (in very unusual work clothing and in a very unusual work setting) or they were prostitutes working..in broad daylight.
The scenery kind of altered, I blinked and saw they were now under this gigantic oak tree in the middle of a very spacious field where the leaves and flowers were being blown about by the wind. Everything was silently shifting between sepia to monochrome and it felt like the scene was moving in slow motion while I was the only one in "normal" motion. There was nobody else around and it seemed like the massage therapists/prostitutes couldn't see me at all. The "camera" shifted for a few minutes to the opposite side of the field and I managed to see myself this time. I looked like I had taken the form of a little girl (with curly auburn brown hair) and was wearing a white dress. I looked a doll for some reason and I could see myself clearly standing there with an old camera model (that weirdly had the features of a DLSR) in my hands. The "camera" reverted to my point of view and I saw the massage therapists/prostitutes(?) again. After a few seconds, the guy I saw from my other dream appeared and he was making his way towards the people on the
padyak bringing a sign with him that read: Kisses:$25 Body:$50. I noticed that he wasn't wearing jeans and a blue shirt. He was in a white tuxedo this time and was grinning all the while approaching the ladies to uhm..acquire their "services" I think. Everything was still happening in slow motion and in sepia/monochrome.
I remember seeing myself take a picture of the scene and I was frustrated at first because the picture was overexposed. I turned the shutter dial from 22 to 24 and I snapped.
I woke up after that.

Thoughts:
This is the weirdest dream I've had by far. It's a hilarious dream if you ask me and as much as I want to analyze it, I want to save myself from the major headache I will possibly encounter. Pretty weird stuff going in my head. I felt like the dream took over an hour to work itself out too.
