Race to a place that I can't remember

Nicole, me and Slynch (in that order) were driving in three separate cars on our way to a get together when Nicole and I made it through a traffic light and Slynch got stuck at it. Nicole and I decided to pull over to the side to wait, but we wound up being in front of this mansion which belonged to someone I knew, so we parked our cars and went inside to shmooze. We didn't stay long, maybe about a half hour, but then we realized that we were supposed to be leading Slynch to the big party so we ran out of the mansion to get back into our cars, and there were these boys outside trying to talk to us. We ignored them, though, got into our cars, and had to maneuver our way out of the mansion driveway because more people had shown up after us and had blocked in our cars. When we finally were able to leave, we sped along the road to the party and right before we got there, the road turned into this really narrow bridge. I was driving a huge silver pick-up truck that barely fit in the lane - which was delineated by a strip of metal that would have popped my tires had I touched it with my car - and then there was an obstacle course of sorts that we had to drive through in order to get to the party. The course was in the air, though, and we could defy gravity in order to pass through it. On my first try driving through the obstacle course, my car slipped off the road and I was slowly falling through the air (because of the whole defying gravity thing) when I reached out with my left hand, grabbed the side of the course and pulled me and my car - which was now much smaller than a pick-up truck - back onto the course. I started over and this time, I had to drive literally straight down over a bumpy road, but the first bump sent me and my car hurtling through the air, again slower than normal gravity would make me fall. This time as I was falling, I turned around and grabbed onto the wall facing the vertical bumpy road and I realized that there were ladder rungs that I could just climb down to get to the party. Since I was suddenly no longer in a car, I simply climbed down and met up with all my friends - mostly URSB - and Slynch asks what took me so long, and Nicole told me that I got there just minutes after she did.

I was waiting for Boyfriend to show up because he was supposed to meet me there and meet all of my friends but he was nowhere to be seen so I caught up with my friends and kept an eye on the door near where I had climbed down the ladder. Finally, just as the speaker at the party was about to begin his/her speech, Boyfriend showed up. I had to take him through the line of food (Chinese food!) so that he wouldn't be starving throughout the speech and the rest of the party so we got some orange chicken. One of my professors from UR (can't remember who) was in line behind us and chit-chatted with us.

Then, I was riding down an elevator to go to my car to wait for Boyfriend again. Not sure how he'd disappeared, but he kept calling me to tell me he was on his way over and that he'd be there shortly but I kept waiting and waiting in my car - which was now something like a Honda Civic coupe - in the parking lot. Finally he texts me and says "I'm at the pool" so I am LIVID and I get out of my car, hoping that he meant that he was at the indoor pool upstairs near where we were supposed to be and not by the outdoor pool downstairs in front of the parking lot, and there he is, jumping out of the pool. He was clearly hanging out with some shady people in the pool, but I can't remember who they were. Boyfriend is completely dry when he gets out of the pool, though, and I look him right in the eye then brush past him to get back to the elevator and go back upstairs. When I get out off the elevator on the ninth (or so) floor, the door to the stairwell opens up and Boyfriend comes out and is trying to talk to me and apologize for being late but I am really upset because he was so inconsiderate. I'd wanted him to be at whatever we were doing on the ninth floor (can't remember what) and he didn't even have the courtesy to tell me that he was running late, never mind the fact that he obviously didn't want to be at whatever event was going on in the first place.

I forgave him after a little bit and we went to sit down with the rest of the group on the ninth floor when Boyfriend said, "I'm hungry." So I took him over to this buffet table of pastries which was also selling books and he decided to buy the Gossip Girl book (there was only one Gossip Girl book in existence, apparently) for himself as well. I asked him why, because I knew that he didn't like that show at all, and he told me and the salesgirl that he has heard some really good things about it so he decided that he would check out the book to see if it's as good as everyone had told him.

There was another part of this dream that involved my mom and me being in some hotel-like room, but the more I try to think of it the more it escapes me.
