So sleeping
until noon allows one to actually have dreams they remember, and I just
had a freaking action packed one.
I'm at Davis hanging around
a big parking lot, and I'm trying to find a ride home for
vacation. There are other people around me with their luggage and
stuff, but they KNOW how they're getting to wherever they're going, and
there are taxis and airport shuttles around. Suddenly I see
someone I know in this particular dream played by Aaron Schmidt.
He's tearing across the campus, and I yell after him and he says "I've
got to catch the van! I've got to catch the van!" He must
be talking about a transport van that runs between Davis and Santa
Barbara! Short chase scene with me running flat ou trying not to
lose sight of him so I know which lot to go to, to see if I can stiull
buy a ticket.
We eventually get to the lot, and I
expect to see an idling van, waiting for the last person before they
leave, but instead there's this scraggaly guy who just beginning to set
out the "SB/DAVIS shuttle" sign. So I say something like "You're
going to Santa Barbara right? Can I still buy a ticket?"
And the guy goes "We're not going to Santa Barbara, this trip we're
going to stop a little north of there" I point out that it says
Santa Barbara on his sign and on his SB shuttle vest, but none of the
other passengers seem too worried. SO I ask one more time "where
exactly is this van going?" and he says "Tahoe. It's East
and North of Santa Barbara, but closer than here" At this
point driver's demeanor changes and he gets angry, wants to know if I'm
coming or not, and then says I can't buy a ticket, that actually the
van is full. That's when I notice that on his photo ID driver
badge, the photo is gone. On the ID plaque in the car, the photo
is also gone. He starts the car without waiting for one of the
passengers to load her luggage and starts to drive off, so I grabbed
one of several little girls out of the open door I was next to.
I'm carrying her across a huge
parking lot now, trying to keep these big sycamore trees between the
van and us, which is now idling through the rows and looks like it's
coming after us. Then it sees us, cuts across a row and through a
bush so we know it's definitely
after us. I'm running across the lot, hoping he'll hit a tree or
something, and eventually I get hit by the car while I'm carrying the
girl, but I don't get hurt, just dazed for a while, and I keep running
to the buildings at the other end of the lot. There I see a
(black) policeman/security guard who I call out to, but the driver is
already oiut of the car and doing the same thing.
...and then I wake up.
