It's hard with dreams, since no one else can really help us as they are our dreams. Yours sounds really detailed and intense, I love when I remember dreams like that I have. Thank you for sharing it.
I would look first at the night out/nightclub dream element? You say you have been having a few with that theme the last few weeks? Did you ever have them before? What has been different about your last few weeks? Have you changed or thought about changing anything big like job, where you live, who you live with, broken up or gotten a new SO? started/dropped out of school/training, etc.? If you are in therapy, what have you been working on ("nightclub" in a dream generally is thought to be about social issues and belonging, which you already seem to understand by your descriptions, have you been working on and thinking about this more than usual?)?
If your dream were mine, I'd realize the dream, by its bizarreness, is probably not about "current" issues but ones I might be dealing with in therapy. There is not much present about it, just vague, old, friends and situations that are not related to what I am doing right now. I would think about the times when I did do nightclubs and the friends I had then, what I was feeling at those times and what I regret or would do differently, or what I enjoyed and wish I had now, etc. With the young bartender and kid on a tractor I'd think about how I felt in relation to others (for me, it would be like I did not "belong" was not as mature and sure of myself and my constant wondering how everyone else managed to feel so sure of themselves and like they knew what they were doing) and then I would try to bring that forward to now, am I working on those issues now? Is some situation making me feel like I'm lost and confused without money or help?
