dreaming bits
didn't think to jot these down the morning after I dreamt them. but, here are two quick pieces of recent dreams that still bother me:
- had a dream where (after some epic journey) I was trying to drive a van off through the rain, with Peter Richardson in the passenger seat. we were in some glum gravel parking lot/road with big mud puddles (again i can't remember what happened directly before this).
Anywho.
I was trying to navigate around the mud puddles but couldn't see how to get around this one big one. so the left tires went in, and the whole car fell over into the puddle. because it was actually a spreading crack in the earth. the van scraped and fell and spun between the rock faces. I was somehow thrown through the windshield and managed to come to a stop on one wall's sheer face. The van stopped further down, maybe 30 yards. So i Started sliding down to it. Trying to make divots with my shoes every few feet, so we could climb back out. rain and muddy water was still pouring in from up top, and it was freezing.
before I got to the van I realized we were fucked. either the rocks would come back together and crush everything, or they'd spread further apart. and there was no climbing back up.
so that's all I remember of that dream. but it's very vivid and keeps coming to mind.
-more recently I had a dream I was off in some mountain park with family in mountains in Washington (mountains which remind me of central California. Nothing accurate to washington except some roads). Ended up trying to drive home with my dad. He was frazzled for some reason (again can't remember rest of dream). We were clearly lost and for some reason the car was almost out of battery charge. I couldn't figure out how to get back to the freeway, and there was definitely going to be a maze of streets and forced turns. So i took a left before we got there and ended up stopping at a nick nack shop. like a rural gas station with huge market that offered antiques and statuettes.
For some reason I was stressed out of my mind.
The owner wasn't helpful, and didn't understand my request for directions. Heading back to the car, I saw three other vehicles huddled around, menacing my car. dad inside, freaked out. I shooed them off. Made a note to pull up google maps and just get accurate path. but somehow was too shaken by my dad's problems to to remember this before starting the car. for some reason, it was a miracle the car started, and I couldn't just let it idle, so we were off. at a snail's pace.and I noticed we were low on gas, but couldn't risk stopping for it. blah.
- I remember waking from both these dreams and walking around the house for a bit, at around 5am. So i guess they were nightmares.
