I dreamt that?!

I just had the strangest dream...check this out:
I'm assisting in this youth activity in a pool where they have to go through a maze sort of gladiator type thing. At the end there's a volleyball that I don't remember the purpose of. I get the idea of playing dodgeball in the pool with a big group and so they drain the entire pool in order to play and set up a tennis net in the middle. Then all the kids are just standing around the outside. Then, while we're waiting Ichiro and I decide to play some baseball and suddenly it's a whole game. Ichiro takes ball one which is right down the middle and the manager from Kansas City comes running out to argue. He takes Ichiro's bat and smashes it against the brick pillar that suddenly appears in the right hand batters box. I quickly gather the pieces for him and run back inside to get a new bat. While inside the house (P.S. I ran through the pool of wallflower teenagers staring at the tennis net) I put the pieces of the bat somewhere, don't remember. I go back out there and on the other side of the pool is no longer a baseball game, it's Rudy Guiliani and a goal challenging me to penalty kicks. So I kick some against him and do alright, the last one goes way up and over the apartment building behind him on which all the wallflower teenagers are now gathered to watch. I go get the ball, come back, and challenge Guiliani to try scoring on me. I use a light pole and masking tape wrapped around a tall weed.
Since things aren't weird enough yet a pollen storm comes in and Guiliani points it out to me to be careful. It's coming straight towards me and fearing for my life I do a Matrix type dive backwards as the cloud of yellow pollen goes flying over my shoulder. "Wow," I tell him, "I've never seen pollen before!" Then again, another pollen strike from the right side! I dive and roll behind the light pole and...wake up. End of dream. Is that not the most bizarre dream?
