I don't remember my dreams very often because that's a side effect of smoking marijuana before you go to sleep, but I had a dream a few years ago so vivid that I still remember every detail of it.
So I'm at the end of my shift at my summer job and for some reason my boss decides he's going to give me a ride home. Dream Me doesn't find anything weird about that, so I get in his truck. Then he says he forgot something, so he runs back into our break room to grab it. Suddenly the doors close, the truck starts, and the vehicle starts driving itself out of the parking lot. I'm kind of just sitting there awestruck by the fact that I'm being held hostage by a self-driving car. It drives me a good few miles before it starts to swerve, almost hitting other cars until it finally zooms through a red light and smashes into a pole.
I'm fine, but I notice a cop car in the rear view mirror. I think to myself, "Great. He's not going to believe this car just drove itself 4 miles. He's going to assume I just did all that." So I grabbed a hammer (from...somewhere...?) and smashed the shit out of my leg and made it look like I got hit by the car. So the cop gets out of the car and for some reason he shoots me in the face... This, however, does not phase me at all. Like, I see the bullet come at me and then the cop just goes, "Oh, sorry," and the dream continues like nothing happened.
So now we fast forward to the police precinct which happens to be built on the water. I get there and my boss is very angry, obviously thinking that I stole his truck. I was still sticking to the "I got ran over" story, which, in hindsight, was a pretty shitty alibi, but it was working. The police brought me out to the bay and said, "Okay. If you're afraid of the water, you're not guilty." Dream Me did not find that weird. And of course, what do I do? I pretend to be afraid of the water! Not guilty! Open and shut case. And instead of staying mad at me, my boss apologized and gave me a DVD of Kindergarten Cop. All in all a good day.
