Driving
August 1, 2008
I dream a charming villian drives my family’s bus. He makes quick u-turns, and each time my seat wobbles precariously. At first I don’t think he has anything to do with it, but then I realize I’m being naïve. Later on, the villian encourages people to say negative things about me and then he embellishes these negatives and uses them to attack my credibility in agit-prop street performances. A young man in our community, maybe about 15, foils the plan by making improper advances towards the villian. The young man makes agit-prop street performances in which the villian is made to look like a child molester.

I dream I am with my father and brother Danny, and we have to go somewhere in Danny’s car — an Alpha Romeo with only two seats. I ask Danny where I am supposed to sit, and he pulls out a little kid’s seat in the back. We travel to a cross between a university and a mall, where Gail’s family is having a party. At the party, Danny is clever and spellbinding and interesting, as usual, and I am a dud by comparison. Partygoers send me up to the fourteenth floor to pick up Danny’s cleaning.

I dream I am driving on a pillow in a combination of Los Angeles and Philadelphia. The man in the lane next to me is sympathetic, but an Asian man tries to run him into my lane. The sympathetic man pulls the Asian man over and yells at him for driving recklessly and for being unkind to those who can’t afford cars and must ride on their pillows.
