Had a dream in which I took a bus to a far away place as it rains. My destination is some kind of enormous house that's basically an airport terminal lobby, with its huge open interior spaces and staircases and such. As I walk aroun,d the steel bars that enclose staircases for safety melt away, and are replaced by a waist-high oiled metal bar which I can easily slide around on. I slide from the top to the bottom really fast, which is exciting. I leave, and wait at a bus stop to go home. An older man speaking arabic and his son are also waiting there, and the man says something to me I don't understand. A bus passes without stopping, and then a bus stops. It's number 5. I get off at a parking lot in front of a Dave & Busters-type establishment. As I walk around outside of it, I find large tokens on the ground made from various precious metals. I find a guy sitting in his car who the tokens belong to. He asks what I'm holding, so I hold up a gold token, and he says wow, I'm not even mad, keep the $500 man good for you! Then I'm back at the big house with the metal bar. I start to slide down it but this time I'm pursued by my past self in a sort of mario-kart-ghost-esque way. I repeatedly attempt to get a better time, and an unseen coach offers advice. Part of the metal bar has yet to be build, and the coach keeps telling me over and over that the person building it will tell me it's too dangerous, and that I shouln't listen. Then I wake up.
