1) I was married to Ben Affleck's brother, only it wasn't Casey Affleck; instead, it was a guy who was a little younger than Ben but who looked very much like him. My boyfriend (whose name I either can't remember or wasn't divulged in the dream) and I were going out to dinner with some friends - I think it was a girl friend of mine who also was dating someone quasi-famous - and it was supposed to be just the four of us, but Ben showed up. He pulled me aside and told me how he was so happy that I was keeping his brother out of trouble, that his brother was finally settling down with a great girl like me. He gave me a huge hug and then he and I went over to the table. I think I said something cheesy like, "Look who I found!" and my girl friend and her boyfriend gushed over the fact that BEN AFFLECK was coming to eat with us. My boyfriend gave Ben a brotherly punch in the shoulder as we all sat down to eat.
2) This one had several parts.
a) I was on a mountain bike and I was riding on a slight uphill on a dirt road. I missed where I was supposed to make a right turn so I made a U-turn at the next intersection so that I could go back and be on my way. There were no buildings on either side of the road; it was like an old Texas dirt road with only two other bikers on the road.
b) I was in the backseat of a car and Nic was driving. We were headed somewhere but we took a slightly longer route so that we could look at these gorgeous houses that we along a main road. It kind of reminded me of Montclair, except that these houses were very narrow and had several (three-plus) stories. All of the fronts of the houses were glass so that we could see inside and see how the inhabitants had decorated their homes. There must have been someone else in the car otherwise I would have been in the front passenger seat and would not have had as clear of a view of the houses as I did.
c) I was at a softball field watching a very competitive slow-pitch team play, except that it was more like baseball just in that the pitchers pitched overhand. I was standing along a ballpark-green wooden fence along the first base line in right field. There was a set of bleachers where they normally would be in order for fans to see the game and the bleachers were pretty full of spectators. I distinctly remember seeing the pitcher deliver a pitch and the batter swinging and making solid contact with the softball (even though it was pitched as if it were a baseball), but then my dream cut to the final part, before I had a chance to see what happened next in the game.
d) I was driving an old white two-door car and I was taking Boyfriend's mom somewhere, I think to work. Again, I missed the turn I was supposed to make only this time it was a left turn, so I had to go to the traffic light to make a U-turn. Before I reached the light, though, Boyfriend's mom told me that it was okay to just drop her off on the side of the road, she could cross the street to get to work. I was kind of wary but she insisted, so I pulled over to the side of the road and put my flashers on while she got out of the car and thanked me for the ride. I waited for her to cross halfway and get safely to the median strip - apparently this was a two-lane highway that we were on - before putting my left blinker on and pulling back into traffic. I got into the left lane and all of a sudden this tire-popping sound erupted and a light went on on my dashboard, but since the car wasn't favoring any of the wheels, I knew that I hadn't actually blown a tire. I thought it was strange then that I'd heard the sound of a tire exploding so I looked down at the light on my dashboard and it was a green light in the shape of a tiny island with one palm tree on the right side and a road with a dotted line in the middle marking two lanes coming out the top of the island. The light road was very curvy and tapered, showing that it went off into the dashboard distance. I was definitely concerned so I looked up and lo and behold, there was the rental car dealership - apparently this car that I was driving was a rental - off to the right. So, before I got to the traffic light that I initially was going to U-turn at to drop off Boyfriend's mom at work, I pulled over to the right and turned into the parking lot of the rental car place, which looked suspiciously similar to the Saab dealership that my father goes to in real life.
