Dream of: 27 August 1986 (2) "Leaving Texas"
Bonnie and I were in a car which I was driving in Texas. I was unsure exactly
where we were, but I was trying to leave Texas. I also had another car here
which I was trying to find. Suddenly, I saw the other car, a white car. It came
down a hill without a driver, hit something, bounced into the air, smashed to
the ground, and then landed upright in the driveway of a house. It appeared to
be drivable, but I was unsure.
I pulled the car I was driving over to the side of the road, got out, and walked
over to the white car. I got in and tried to start it. It lurched forward a
little toward another car sitting in front of it in the driveway, but it did not
hit the other car. Then my car died and I could not seem to restart it.
Some people were in the yard. A woman walked up to me and asked me about the
car. She told me it had been around here for a while and she had reported it to
the police, who wanted to see me when I came to get it. Apparently, I had some
tickets against me about which the police wanted to talk with me. She told me
where the police station was, but I had no intention of going to the police
station if I could avoid it.
I walked back to the car where Bonnie was and told her that when I got the other
car started, she would have to drive the car she was in. She could follow me as
we tried to wend our way out of Texas. She did not like the idea, but there
really was no alternative.
I still did not know exactly where we were. We had been driving along a road for
quite a long way. The woman walked up again. English was obviously not her
native language, but she could speak it passably well. I asked her if she could
tell us where we were. She could not seem to express herself well. She said we
were on the Autobahn, but that did not help me any. There was an intersection
nearby and I asked her if she could tell us where those roads led. She tried,
but I could not make heads or tails of what she said. Another girl walked up and
began trying to help us.
I pulled out a map. They said we were in a village and gave us the name, the
first letter of which was "A." I began trying to find the village on the map but
was unsuccessful. Finally, the girl pointed to an area northwest of Dallas and
said the village was somewhere there. I thought that was good because we were
near the state line. I wanted to get out of Texas as quickly as possible and
avoid any confrontations with the police.
I still could not find exactly where we were. I thought we would just have to
drive until we came to something recognizable.
