Notes to Myself: On Speed

The sun was setting and the sky was quickly growing dark. Something was compelling me to dash to take a picture of a unseen building far away. The reason for my haste was unclear but I knew I had to hurry. This was on a dirt country track; open with few trees; there was a metal fence on my right side. Time was running short so I turned on my heels and abandoned the photo opportunity.

Even though I can't drive that didn't matter. I was suddenly seated in my car at a large junction with a large flyover overhead. I tried to reverse and turn around which took time and patience - there were many cars rushing by and my driving skills were less than disireable.

On the car radio a caller was talking to the radio DJ. The caller was on his mobile phone and he pressed something so that we couldn't hear what he was saying. The DJ challenged other listeners to guess what the caller had done wrong.

My car vanished but I had a new vehicle; a better vehicle. It felt like a motorbike as my body was in a very horizontal position but it was deadly silent and didn't seem to make contact with the ground.

I powered along dark curving paths overtaking mopeds with ease. Twisting the accelerator my speed climbed quickly; when I checked the speedometer it read 70 mph. Having decided that my ride had enough speed capability I slowed a little.

But now I wasn't sitting on my vehicle. Or my body didn't seem to be with me - I felt as though I existed around my vehicle and watched it like a floating camera man. Perhaps I was the vehicle, being watched from above?

In any case, I could see the vehicle, but it had turned into something like a high speed animal on heat. It was like a mixture between a cat and a hedgehog: it ran with the movement of a cat but had angled spikes running down its back.

On the road, or bright race course as it seemed to have become, there were broom-like bristles sticking out of the ground. They were all at the same low angle, running in lines. Upon touching these my speedy creature reached insane speeds and climbed the curving walls with no problems.

There are many parts of this dream that I can link to my recent thoughts, but for now I think it might be more interesting not to write them down. Can you guess what they are from my previous posts? It's intersting, however, how a mixture of thoughts can create such an exciting dreamworld. What an utterly fantastic dream!
