Similar Dreams

Tuesday June 27, 1989

My best friend dreamt he was attacked by several people (possibly vampires). He fought and tried to get away. He shot some of his attackers with a handgun. He climbed out a high window hoping to hide on the ledge until it was safe. There was no ledge and he scrambled, fell, and floated to the ground where he landed unharmed.

I dreamt I was attacked by several people in the woods. I killed two or three of them with a pistol. I fled in my car until I came to the top of a cliff. I thought I could climb down quickly by hand, but the cliff side was too steep and there were no handholds. I jumped, thinking I might break a leg when I landed. Instead I stopped in the air right before impact and landed gently.

My best friend dreamt the two of us were going hiking. I drove. About a half mile down the trail he got thirsty, reached for his canteen, and realized he didn't have his canteen or the rest of his gear. I was eager to continue hiking so I gave him my car keys and he went back to my car alone. At the car he realized that his house was just a couple of hundred yards away and he wondered why we drove. He also noticed that it was getting dark; too dark to start a hike. As he walked home he thought about my keys and how he could get them back to me.

I dreamt I was riding to a hike with an old friend and two other people. After we left the car, I got thirsty and realized I didn't have my canteen. I decided to walk up the road a hundred yards or so where I remembered there was a soft drink machine. The driver and I hassled over his car keys but I don't remember if he gave me his keys. Then he and one of the others started the hike. The remaining person and I left for the drink machine. On our way, I noticed it was getting too dark to hike.

Parallels: going hiking, thirst after leaving car, forgotten canteen, hassle with keys, car's owner kept hiking while other person went for something to drink, person who went back ended up walking rather than taking car, the walk from the car to a drink was just one or two hundred yards, too dark to hike.

My best friend dreamt he was driving fast and had no brakes. He came to several confusing intersections that he managed to speed through although he didn't know which way to go.

I dreamt I was driving and my best friend was in the back seat. I kept coming to intersections I didn't recognize and I didn't know which way to go. Later I was backing the car towards a stop sign and my brakes did not work.
