A few snippets I remember:
- I was younger and on a trip to San Francisco with a group of other early-college-age kids. They were somewhat wilder in appearance than most of the friends I've had in my life, and while this didn't bother me I was worried about my parents (who weren't actually there) worrying when seeing me with them. I did admire their strong individual styles, though. The annoying part of this dream was that there was a bisexual guy with extremely "gay" mannerisms who kept hounding me and another kid (who was the only person in the dream that I've known in real life). I was annoyed because the guy wouldn't leave me alone; worried that people would see his explicit overtures and get the wrong idea; and worried about the other kid, who I felt I needed to protect.
- I was on a group trip to France. (Argh. Why another group trip?) My husband and some of his friends were there, and they wanted to rent a car to make a trip out into the country (we were at a chateau). I was supposed to get the car, but when I got in I couldn't find the brake, and discovered that it was an automatic and not manual (whereas I was trying to drive it like it was manual). I finally discovered that the brake was a tiny knob concealed in a depression off to the left, but not before I plowed into the side of a Mercedes parked in the chateau parking lot. After a couple of snooze-button hits, while on to another dream, I received a bill from the rental company charging me for the damage done to the Mercedes.
- I was in another group setting, some kind of family-reunion type thing, except they weren't my family members. There was a really, really cute baby there and I was commenting to her aunt how incredibly cute she was. The aunt just gave me a worried look and said, "You're not connecting with her, can't you see? Look how she smiles at other people! {The idea being that the baby wasn't smiling at me like that.} You'll have to figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it."

I like the last one best. All of those dreams sound pretty distressing, especially the group quality of them.
Yeah, those are the sort of dreams that could really put a damper on a day! They were pretty funny, though.
