a somber man in uniform

Busy night's dreaming. In the first dream, a man i don't recognize in some kind of military uniform is walking towards 'me' from across a vast expanse. I don't know who i am but i'm not myself in the dream. The person that is 'me' is tense. I'm not sure if i'm afraid of the man or just nervous. In dream-time slow motion he gets closer and my fear subsides as i recognize him and he smiles at me.

The next dream i remember i'm sitting at a cafeteria, table like in a school lunchroom. A classmate is showing me a dream she'd written down. As i'm trying to read it she keeps shoving a "dream interpretation guide" under my nose and finally i stop trying to read her dream and tell her "I find those dreams interpretation guides to be useless. Only the dreamer can know what the symbols mean."

Then, something about paying a ?fine at a city building. Parking is a nightmare because the cars are jumbled everywhere. I decided to park somewhere else and end up behind the building. Inside it's a maze of offices and hallways. I find the place i need to pay and there's another lady there in the same situation. We talk for a bit and as we're leaving i realize that if i don't go back the way i came i'm going to have to walk up a steep hill to where my car is. I ask a man who works in the building if there is another way out but he doesn't know what i'm talking about.

My mom, Audree and Cammie are on a road trip. We're in the 77 Thunderbird. Cammie and i are in the back seat and Audree is driving. I don't know where we've been but we've just arrived home from a long trip. Cammie and i are sleeping in the back seat so mom and Audree leave us there. Finally we wake up and decided to go in. It starts to rain and i look back at the car and notice that all the windows except mine have been left down. I quick go back to the car to close the windows. There's a main switch that makes them close all at once. Then, for some reason, i move the car but i can't get control of it and it's speeding down the gravel road. Every time i hit the brakes it just takes off faster than before. I come to a 90 degree turn and finally get the car under control. I start backing up to get back to the house and i'm staying on the road but not feeling very comfortable about going backwards. Finally i come to a place where a truck and another car are parked and manage to get turned around. As i pull back up to the house i realize that in turning the car around, it's now going to be a pain to unpack everything that's in the trunk.

Then i was was awakened when a flock of crows settled outside my bedroom window and started chatting.
