Dream: I was at a bar with some friends or coworkers or something, and I went outside to talk to some other people who had just arrived, but in the middle of the chat we all got urgent texts to come back in asap, so I did. There was someone wearing a bomb -- not theirs, it had been planted somehow, but trying to remove it would detonate it. There was also a message that there were two other bombs, one in the bar somewhere and one in the emergency room next door. Several of us went running over; for some reason I had both authority and desire to take charge and give orders. We didn't find either any sign of bombs or any disruption, and when we came back to the bar one of my other team members (not someone who had come with me but I guess I was some sort of fbi agent like on Criminal Minds) who was all bloody because he had somehow arranged for one of the ER bombs to go onto himself rather than a staff member, and then yanked it free and dropped in the nearby ocean to nullify it
(he said something about having looked up the staffing schedule and slipped his name in the rotation so he'd be in the right place to get the bomb implanted-- in the dream it was just a matter of basically sacrificing himself so a civilian wouldn't fall victim, but writing it up I'm aware of the obvious plot holes: how did he know something was going to happen, why did he just substitute himself and not warn anyone, why didn't the ER notice a new face, and if the bomb detonated when removed how did he remove it)
but this left him with a serious puncture wound that was still bleeding, so I had a couple people escort him to the ER for treatment. The dream then cut to showing how the remaining bomb had been hidden in a janitor bucket -- I don't know why two were put on people and one was hidden -- but the bucket got taken out to the back patio that was on the water, and accidentally tipped over the edge and went into the water, where it went off with very little effect (think the farting-joke scene in Finding Nemo)
...randomly, there was a drink in the bar that was an "everything" kind of drink and if you drank it you won a free second one of the same drink, and if you drank that too you got a Totoro shirt. I don't even know...
