Leaky roof and celebrity valet

I was house-sitting my own house while my parents and brother went somewhere together. I was watching a movie in my living room when it started to rain. A few minutes later, I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. When I went to investigate, I saw that there was a huge leak in the ceiling. I ran to the front closet to get a bucket and nearly tripped over one of those janitor mop things. I grabbed the bucket that was attached to it and ran back to the kitchen to catch the leak. When I went to pick up the mop thing that I'd knocked over in my haste, I realized that there were two more leaks in the foyer - one by the grandfather clock and one by the front closet. I Put a second bucket under the leak in front of the clock - which had broken into two streams of leakage right next to each other - and was searching for a third bucket for the last leak when my family got home. My mom saw what was going on and blamed me for the leaks, asking why I hadn't caught them sooner. The rain outside stopped and so did the leaks, but my mom still was angry at me.

I was going on a trip and I was meeting Amy for a meal beforehand. It turns out that we were going on a group trip and the meal was with everyone who was going on it. Taye Diggs was on the trip and he and I knew each other from a long time ago. I gave him a big hug and we caught up for a few minutes before we both went to sit with our respective friends to eat. Everyone near me and Amy started asking how on earth I knew Taye Diggs, could I introduce them, etc. but I just smiled and pretended like I would do just that. We had to drive through an intersection to get to the airport and when we got back, I had Taye's car ready for him - I'd turned into a valet somewhere along the way. I was trying to give him a hug goodbye but he kept avoiding it and we were walking around his car in circles, until finally I asked him why he was avoiding me. I told him he looked great - he hadn't aged one bit in the 10 years since we'd seen each other - but he still wouldn't look me in the eye.

Morphing scenery and dead people who die all over again

M.V. was in my house, visiting me, and my parents didn't know that he and I were more than friends. We were standing in front of my desk in my room, kissing, when my dad came upstairs and I made M.V. hide in the closet. Then all of a sudden we were back at the Beduoin tents but instead of being in the desert, there was grass around the camp fire area. I asked M.V. if there had been grass the first time we were there and he assured me that there had been. M.V. and I sat next to each other and he kissed me in front of everyone, but no one seemed to see.

In the second part of my dream, my Zayde had died and we needed to go to the funeral. My cousin came up to me just outside of my bathroom in my house, as I was finishing getting ready, and asked me about a hockey trade, but I told him we needed to talk about it later because I had somewhere to go before the funeral. I couldn't get my hair to stay in the style I wanted it to - half pulled back with one of my yellow/tan clips - so I was getting really frustrated. By the time I got to the temple, Bubby was there making last-minute arrangements with the Rabbi and she had two friends there who kept trying to make decisions for her. I stepped in and basically told them to back the f off because they didn't know my grandfather, and also it wasn't about what they thought would be nice, it was about what my Bubby and Zayde wanted to do. They were taken aback that I told them off because previously I'd always been nice to them, even though I thought they were two old, crotchety, nosy housewives who had nothing better to do than to make everyone around them miserable.

I'm pretty sure there was more to each section fo these dreams, but I can't remember now.
