Golden sleeves

I was in a labyrinthine sort of house, walking around and checking to see if I was alone. I was checking and rechecking, over and over, almost compulsively, because there was some sort of dance I was about to do and every time I did this dance someone would pull a prank on me, or something like that. Then later, there were multiple floors and other people were definitely there. There was a bar-like area and I saw a jukebox, I played Morrissey on the jukebox because I thought it would impress someone, I can’t remember who. Then I suddenly remembered that it was the end of school. I forgot I was in school and hadn’t attended any of the classes and basically failed the whole year. This is a dream theme that has recurred since I was young. There was a large table and these rectangles of various sizes were drawn on the table (with what looked like chalk) to represent my grade on each test. A small number of rectangles were filled in, but many were empty and a few weren’t even fully drawn. As I walked along by this large table, I heard a voice saying, “You could’ve tried but you didn’t,” and several other phrases like this. I then saw a big colorful chalk-like drawing on the ground, it was an elaborate eye peering through a rip in fabric or paper. It represented the lyrics of my band mate and how I’ve made his life difficult. The art then transformed into a body of water in a large room whose interior looked Greek like white marble, and suspended over this water were a pair of gymnastic rings. A man was hanging from these rings and he had these golden gloves or sleeves, something about him struck me as a Greek centurion, and his features reminded me of Will Ferrell. He tried something difficult on the rings but his hands could not catch them and he slipped into the water. I was wondering if I could do this trick that he was attempting, it incorporated these golden sleeves in some way.
