Dream: The bathroom soap opera

mokie_edomI dreamt of a school in which the bathroom was either under construction or always full. I attend a meeting/lecture in which someone tries to talk to us kids about groups, about pairing up and so forth, and notes that we don't do that anymore. She asks me what group I belong to, and tries to get me to comment on the bathroom situation.
I reply that I haven't gone into one of the school bathrooms in ages, as they're always crowded, but that ladies should go ahead and use the men's room if they really have to--the guys wouldn't mind.
She pushes me for a more personal response, saying "But they're always empty in...telenovelas!" The screen beside her becomes a biology show, a microscopic view of the germs to be found in bathrooms, which is somehow a soap opera that the kids love. In the dream (and after waking), I am utterly baffled.
I return to my rooms, wincing as I remember a guy I met and had sex with in the school part of the dream (by now several days earlier in dreamtime) and who I forgot to contact afterwards. To divert his anger, I try to get him to leave by telling him that I'm busy plotting the destruction of the Arctic shelf. He likes the idea. I tell him that it will result in the death of all mankind. He's ecstatic. I tell him [something forgotten]. He replies, "Great! Perfect! I [something forgotten], I get to fuck you!"
Notes and explanatory details
#1. I don't remember the last thing I said to the guy, but apparently he felt that if he fulfilled this action, he'd get laid. He said it as if he'd caught me in a technicality which I could not weasel out of.
#2. I don't think I had to use the bathroom before bedtime, but most of the time bathroom-related imagery in my dreams is a big neon sign meant to wake me up.
