Unknowing Survivor Competitor

[This seems like it would have been a pretty interesting one, but I didn't write it down at the time I had it. Well, no more than what's below, and now I don't really remember the dream.]

- I'm watching a couple of events in this big competition involving people from work (Ron, Roy) and people from school (Scott barker, Jamiee (blond girl), and others I can't remember), and some famous people (Dave Coulier, and some people from Surreal House)
- We all meet up and talk around for a bit while we wait for others to show up. The whole house feels like it's underground, but at one point I'm in "my" room which is like the downstairs bedroom in Grandmamma's house.
- They're supposed to be doing a survivor competition, like the TV show
- first event is something about football
- second event I can't remember
- third event is running from second even to fourth event along a trail. I decide to run ahead of everyone so I can see them all arrive.
- I stop by the side so I can see everyone else arrive and see who wins. I talk to Scott and he tells me that I'm supposed to be in the events as well. I had no idea!
- The next event is to be put into an outhouse (a very smelly one) and listen to a pig being disemboweled just outside. Whoever can take it the longest wins.
- I wind up talking to Roy about trying to start up. I can't seem to go back and do the previous events, but my failure in those events (either just by watching, or by participating and then dropping out) has caused me to already be the big looser.
- Somehow the conversation turns to school. I was saying something to Roy about my grades "last year" and how I almost failed, and then I realized that I meant 11th grade. I said, "Oh! That was 2 years ago! Last year I was in college, but I came back to high school to take a couple of classes!" This means I was 2 years out after graduation (and my "2 years ago!" is inaccurate) and that would have made me 20 in my dream. I'm 27 now!
- Then I went back into the boys locker room, and it was all steamy because someone was running the shower at full heat. I was looking for the stuff that I had left in my locker years ago, but was unable to find it.
- I left the locker room and walked out towards the front office. I then went through part of the gym, and there were a LOT of people around all over the place, almost like class wasn't in. I woke up soon after this.
