Ticks and Seduction

I have a hard time remembering things from tonight. Things seem a little vague, although I did have four distinct dreams. My sense of time sometimes gets messed up as far as when certain dreams took place. I think first I was home, and my aunt and cousin were here (again). My mom brought home chicken that she was cooking legs that she was cooking on huge racks hidden underneath the kitchen counter. She was eating one and I noticed it had an interesting color. Some of the meat was purple. I said to her "Mom, that meat is still pink" and she said "What? No it isn't." She looked directly at it and kept eating. Feeling grossed out, I went upstairs to see my computer screen at an awkward angle. It said "You've successfully called google" which was confusing. That was the equivalent of a skype call, but I hadn't been on my computer. I walked out and hear Chason say from my speakers "Oh! Sloan's not wearing any pants!" and it was quite true. I was in my underwear, but it wasn't the archetypal dream where I was horribly embarrassed because of it, I was actually somewhat proud of it because he admired my body. I moved my screen and saw my friends all at someone else's house, and for whatever reason, they all began to take their clothes off. I crossed my legs awkwardly to avoid it being apparent that I was somewhat excited at the sight of some of my attractive friends in less than what would be considered appropriate attire for company. I moved away after the clothes came back on, and tried to eat some of the chicken from downstairs. It was okay, and I ate around the undercooked parts, but I just wasn't hungry. My mom stormed in unexpectedly and took all of the uneaten legs.
Next I remember being at a house with Roberta, who I have only met once on Samhain. She introduced me as a member of her coven, which I guess is true. Something happened and I ended up near a car with two other guys looking for someone. It was a misty morning, but it wasn't raining. The grass was just wet and the air had that very velvety wet feel to it. The house sat perched halfway off of a steep hill, not so steep that one would die if they fell, but it would certainly take you for a tumble. Nothing else about the dream is clear, or it may have ended there.
Then I was in the woods, the cross country trails behind the school to be exact, and was sprinting around off the beaten path. I can't remember if I was going somewhere or just being a ninja. I realized shortly before I finished this that it was still tick season and I was likely crawling with them. I went to a nearby pond that was pretty shallow and swam around in it, trying to get the ticks off. I looked back and saw six or seven big ones floating where they had come from my body. Thoroughly grossed out, I got out of the pond.
This next part is connected but separate. I went to Sean's house. He was very highly strung for some reason, almost a stereotypical vampire, ironically. I said "I don't mean this sexually, but can you check my scalp for ticks?" (I very much enjoy having my scalp and hair touched.) He didn't say anything, but pulled me over to him and whipped me around. He started to run his fingers through my hair and kiss my neck, and while I wasn't complaining, I had a fleeting memory of his boyfriend and what kind of drama this would cause if it didn't stop. As if by reading my mind, he stopped and whipped me around, but seemed irritated. This almost seems like passive dream-control I may have been exerting in my attempt to get lucid before bed. He said "This is going to hurt" and made an L shape with his right hand. He slammed it against the right side of my face, then the left side, and then the middle. I was afraid he was going to break my nose, but it only registered as a light slap. I was watching from a third person perspective. When I was back watching things from my own body, I went around his house, but I wasn't doing anything meaningful. Memories of exactly what are faint as this was close to my awakening. I was getting increasingly irritated with things he saying that were so holier-than-thou I was shocked, it wasn't like him. I finally woke up.
