A Star-studded Road Trip

I had a dream last night that I was headed out on a road trip with friends. We were doing a caravan of one van and one car. In the van were most of my friends and Benedict Cumberbatch and I was stuck in the car with some guy I didn't really know. He was a hipster, but not exactly the good kind. (I know some people could argue that there is no such thing as a good kind of hipster, anyway...)

Benedict didn't have a large part in the dream, but he piled out of the van with everyone else every time we made a pit stop for gas or food. To be honest, it was kind of a boring cameo, but I did feel a bit pouty because (of course) in my dream, I was friends with Ben, too

We stopped for the night at a youth hostel (does the U.S. even have those?) and it was mixed dormitory-style. We had gotten there late and so we were stumbling through the room, tripping on people's stuff. I tripped over the edge of one guy's bed and when he sat up to grunt at me it turned out to be William Shatner. He made some desultory comments about my IQ and went back to bed. (End cameo.)

The weirdest thing about this hostel was that the toilet was right in the center of the room and there were no walls for privacy. It was just out in the open, so you could hear people peeing in the middle of the night. Weird for sure. (I think my bladder may have been trying to get my attention - ha!)

The next morning it was time to pack up and get out of town. We would arrive at our destination that day (though I don't know where we were headed, to be honest). Normally in these types of dream situations, I have a bunch of stuff spread all over the place and then it somehow doesn't all fit back into my bag, but this time packing up was easy and I had room left over in the bag. I felt like I was forgetting something (probably quite large that shouldn't be able to fit back into my bag).

Walking out of the hostel, we came out onto a wide open green. Out of nowhere, we hear yelling and a bugle-like call and in come two men on horses as if to joust, but what really happens is that the tall guy scoops the other short guy off of his horse and carries him to "home base" to win the bout. The tall guy turned out to be Conan O'Brien and the short guy Adam Carolla (which is funny because he's actually tall. Does anyone remember him from Loveline?). Conan was going to be joining us on the road trip, but at this point I woke myself up laughing, so who knows where we were headed and why.
