Had a dream where I went to a big facility for a job interview. The facility seemed to be a lot of things at once: military complex, office space, learning facility/college.
The venue for the interview was really unusual: the person was teaching a college course, and they were going to interview me in the classroom while their students worked quietly. I wasn't very comfortable with this, but I went through with it anyway because I was desperate.
I could see from the outset that the interviewer was a total hard-ass, smart-ass, prick... some know-it all-Asian guy who probably overachieved in everything in life, took everything too seriously. He kept asking questions that were meant to trap you, so I was on eggshells the entire time I answered him. I specifically remember him laughing disrespectfully at one of my responses as if I gave a stupid answer.
At one point, he asked me if I was okay working with women. I said of course. He then followed-up that some of the women would be far superior at my job compared to me—geniuses even. I said that's no problem; some of the most impressive people I've ever worked with have been women. Plus, with there being 9 billion people in the world, statistically it was impossible that there wouldn't be a woman smarter than me out there.
At this point, the interviewer was in his gottcha moment. He was unleashing a verbal attack, pouncing upon a slip-up on my part. He was like "You mean 18 billion. You aren't including women." (FYI: there are actually 8 billion people in the world). He was trying to imply that I was being sexist, biased, and disrespectful with my answer. I was confused, befuddled, and defensive: I didn't mean to be disrespectful. And I didn't think to push back against his argument being wrong because tempers were escalating quickly and students were beginning to gang up on me verbally.
At this point, one particular female student was getting in my face and yelling at me for being sexist. I'm a pretty quiet person who doesn't like to yell, so I couldn't really say anything amid her stream of invective.
The confrontation came to a climax as the girl shoved her tuna salad sandwich in my face, which got mayonnaise, fish, and celery all over my face and on my wheelchair cushion as it fell off my face. At this point, I forced her aside, grabbing her arm so she'd stop assaulting me and let me get by (there were a bunch of classroom chairs in the way of my wheelchair, which appealed to some irl anxiety).
As soon as I forced my way past the girl, someone called the cops. They were trying to get me arrested for assault because I probably bruised the girl's arm as I grabbed her to stop assaulting me and get past. I knew it'd be my word vs. the word of a classroom full of people who were against me, so I reasoned that fleeing the scene would be the best course of action.
I went to get my car, but I forgot my car was having its oil changed. My car wasn't ready yet—the shop was all out of oil for some reason. Anyway, all this meant that I'd have to elude police on foot.
While I'm fleeing the big facility, I notice that a huge rocket roughly the size/diameter of a skyscraper got launched from a building. However, the launch went awry and crashed back into the facility, causing a massive explosion and likely killing a lot of people. I kind of just brushed this off because I had more pressing things to worry about, so the gravity of the situation was kind of lost on me.
I kept eluding bad guys, but then the dream reset itself and I was back at the tuna salad sandwich incident.
As I was escaping the room, I noticed Samantha Knox from daycare. I was not only amazed to see here, but equally surprised to see that she hadn't aged at all. She explained that her body stopped aging once she reached the age of 7 due to a endocrine disorder. This was all terribly interesting, but I didn't have time to chat because I had to elude the police.
I continue to elude police, but where I was on foot for the first half of the dream, now I'm in a wheelchair. However, the dream wasn't consistent with this: I was blatantly cheating up steps and curbs by walking and dragging my chair behind me because I was in a hurry and didn't feel like finding the handicap ramp.
After eluding the cops for much of the dream, eventually (finally) I experienced a confrontation out in the street. I did the old "look over there!" trick and tricked the cop who was closest to me while I ran the other way. Still, although I was now out of reach, he was hot on my trail.
I was chased to the garage where my car was being worked on. The garage was full of my gangster homies (like the white supremacists from Breaking Bad). They were expecting me and preparing for the heat to follow. The garage was now all sealed shut, windows protected with metal shutters. Also, one of the gangster mechanics was my HS friend Bobby Stone (who is a mechanic irl). A shootout ensues.
Idk how it ended
------------------------------
Had a dream where I bought a used Tesla Model S. I had some friends over for a party (unrelated), and was keeping an eye on my car because it was new to me and I was still enamored with it.
However, at some point, I plugged something into the USB port, which sparked and started smoking. I took out the USB device and figured I could get the USB port fixed later.
I went back to the party. Then, maybe a half hour later, I checked on my car again. It was on fire. Beneath the hood, there was a decent-sized flame, maybe the size of a small campfire, burning without any sign of going out. It was some kind of electrical fire.
I panicked and grabbed a can of freon. I went to install the spray nozzle on it, but I messed it up somehow and the freon just sprayed wildly, going mostly all over the floor but also some on my hand (which is really bad btw: the extreme cold will kill tissue).
Then my dad came in like normal and helped me with the freon and the car fire. It was a good feeling to have someone I could depend on help bail me out of a fuckup.
I ended the dream by trying to see if my car could still drive. Surprisingly, it could, but it didn't go very fast. Plus I found it disconcerting because it could reignite at any time.

Had a dream where, somehow or another, I was now cured of my paralysis, which meant I could go back to being a mechanic.
To help me get back into the career, two guys from when I worked at Honda, Blaine and Jerry, visited my house to help me sort through my tools and transport my toolbox from home to the garage. It was kind of weird that these two particular guys volunteered to show up; I didn't actually know them all that well. Jerry was actually a pretty intense dude who kind of scared me.
It took me a while to sort through my toolbox because, as of right now, I have just about everything in there. There're a lot of duplicate tools that I'd leave at home if my good tools are now going to be at work.
It was taking so long that it was now night time. I felt bad because Jerry and Blaine were waiting here this whole time while I sorted. However, I didn't actually aske them for help; they just showed up on their own, so I didn't feel totally bad.
While I went through my tools, a confrontation occurred outside with Blaine and Jerry. A cop had showed up. Apparently there was a warrant for the arrest of one or both of them.
I went outside to see what was going on. The first thing I saw immediately was the cop uppercutting Jerry like 20ft into the air. Blaine was trying to help out Jerry, but once he saw this cop was fucking dangerous, Blaine took off.
Blaine was hiding behind one of the cars in my driveway. The cop went to give chase, then he stopped in front of me and asked if I saw which was Blaine went.
Blaine was looking at me like "don't tell him" with his expression. However, I didn't want to get beaten/arrested too, so I pointed discretely (so Blaine couldn't see) where Blaine was. The cop took off after him.
I felt kind of bad for ratting him out, but eventually Blaine came back after losing the cop, so everything turned out okay anyway in the end.
