My Plus One is an Elephant

 I dreamt I was driving out West.  Warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard of my car and I pulled over to see the issue.  In my dream, I knew a lot about cars and did some tinkering under the hood.  I stopped to talk to an elderly couple who had also pulled over.  The older man joked with me that I was following him which I guess ended up being true because instead of turning right out of the rest area to continue on the drive, we both turned left and went back in the direction that we had both come. At one point the elderly couple pulled off at a scenic overlook and I drove back to the last town I had seen. My car was overheating and I was looking for water. When I got to town, I saw a Rita’s frozen ice stand and I turned off the main road only to realize that they were closed. This is where things get really strange. At this point, I was no longer driving a car but riding an elephant. At the intersection, we could not cross the street and I found a large wedding parade moving through town. We were swept up in the crowd and went with them to a resort that had sort of an oasis theme with a water park. At this point, my elephant became overheated and since the swimming pool add a ramp into the deeper water I rode with him into the pool. We stayed in the pool all night walking around in the different wading areas and going under the waterfalls at the lazy river. I believe we stayed for the entire wedding and then I woke up.
