Confusing Dream

I've dealt with odd dreams for quite a while now and figured I would consult one of these forums to maybe get some insight on what others think of them, especially the one I just had last night, as it was really puzzling to me.

It started off with me at a mall, shopping around at this comic/card game shop. Overtime, I begin to befriend the employees there. At some point, a choker specifically becomes important as I come in one day and one of them is talking about a book he just finished making, and I'm previewing it while one of them drinks something. The book is some standard fantasy novel, nothing too out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, my mother appears and she's aghast at me. For whatever reason, she thinks it's inappropriate for me to be hanging out with these people and reading this book (For context, I'm in my 20's.) which confuses me. She drags me off and tries to explain at length why the book is so inappropriate and it baffles me more, seeing as this is very out of character for her.

Some time passes and I come back to the store and I'm sorting through some trading cards that the guy who had wrote the book gave me to look at. Then, one puts in a video on the TV they had, and to my surprise, it looks as if it had been recorded in the gym of my elementary school, but he explains that it was the same district, different school, as this was his high school's gym.

For whatever reason then, the dream takes a turn in this instant. I'm still sorting through trading cards, but I am in said gym at this supposed high school and am now a young teen again. The change goes unnoticed and I'm at lunch with the book guy and we put the cards away, watching video guy from a distance as he's recording something. Book guy gives me some sort of writing he did, but I don't remember what.

Despite this being a high school, it has the same setup as my elementary school and it seems very debatable whether this is a high school. I meet up with a friend, let's call her Kelly, and go to a class that I can best describe as being at a 1st grade level at max. Kelly and I sit across from each other and reason "If this is an elementary school class, maybe we'll get out early at 2pm." The teacher has us doing some basic games like patty cake of all things, when things yet again take a turn.

A school officer comes in and reports a lockdown. A fight had broken out, and in some way, it seemed to have involved book guy. Apparently, book guy had confessed to multiple girls as a joke and now it was getting too serious. Too serious, in fact, as things get more extreme than a fight. I won't go into detail on it due to the sensitive nature of these things, but it's something that often happens to schools in America, if you catch my drift.

At some point, I choose to run instead of stay put and end up leaving the area as fast as I can and distinctly remember turning off location tracking on my cellphone in particular as I run out into the woods. At this point, it suddenly turns from night time to day as I'm running, but I give pause when I hear voices. To which, for whatever reason, I end up at a dock that's on a lake in the woods. The voices I was hearing was that of a group of talking hamsters sitting around a table at the end of the dock, eating a meal and fishing. And, for whatever reason, this does not phase me. Instead, they ask where I'm off to in such a hurry. I explain the situation to them, and they decide they're going to pack up early and head home due to it. So, I continue on my path.

Eventually, I end up outside of the woods, only to discover I'm on the coast of the ocean at an RV park bordering more docks by the ocean. I slow down to figure out where I am, seeing some children play as I eventually run across, for whatever reason, Rengoku, a character from the anime series Demon Slayer. I'm a bit confused by his presence and he asks me to retrieve him something that fell into the water, some sort of tennis racket and ping pong ball, both I distinctly remember being blue. I help him out and bring them back and he points me off to a convenience store off the edge of the town, and I end up going there.

This store seemed to be distinctly Japanese, which made me wonder what on earth it was doing here, but I shrug it off and look around, still trying to catch my breath as I'm trying to keep myself going, for some reason under the impression that book guy is going to come after me. A woman at the store, who didn't seem to work there, noticed me and seemed to understand what I needed. She guided me to the back of the store and moved some things around, revealing a door to the back. She leads me out and starts walking with me, and we end up in a nicer community of houses that just seem to be finished recently. Many people are there having fun, and the woman points out how delightful swimming is.

And. That was the point in which I woke up. I still can't make sense of anything that happened, or any explanation of the rhyme or reason that caused this baffling dream to exist. I've had dozens more like it that I can recount occasionally, and am curious what others think of these odd dreams I keep having.

This is a dream of your soul growing up. The past, the present coming together. The significant of water in the dream is the water, that represents spiritual awakening for you. The Demon is a focal point for you to remember that part of the dream. Tennis racket and ball a two player game. Sounds like a meaningful relationship is going to happen. You are growing up. The emotional you is also growing up. A lot more to this dream but I thinks this is the general message of the dream.
