In your side note, you mention that you often dream about driving cars/buses/planes/etc. Do you ever have trouble with technology in your dreams? Every time I dream about using a phone or a computer, I can never use it right, especially if it's an emergency, like I'm being chased by a murderer or something. I'm either forgetting how the device works, or I have to dial the same number/text 10 different times. This ever happen to you?

Yeah, that happens a lot! It's actually super common and you can use it as a dream sign. Many people do reality checks when they hit the light switch and nothing happens. Next time your phone/laptop doesn't work properly, do a RC! You might get a nice lucid dream...

hmm... happened to me in reality - the situation: when no minibus driver at central station agreed to take my dog late at night, another driver offered a "special" deal, to take me alone, then acted weird - and what with all the citizens kidnap alert hereabout... i tried to text my son, failed [got a note "the massage failed to send" or something to that effect]. tried to text the friend i was heading to - didn't get any indication if the text was send. called him, he was asleep. hinting i'm in danger and could you call our other friends to come pick me up? he said "you mean call the police?"
"yea."
"hmm...call them yourself!" so i did, and they came. no way to tell if the danger was real or not though...
i believe it was - i felt the danger so strongly, it made me feel as the shift into super-hero - the moment SP shifts costume and resume super-powers. my palms got spontaneously into superman's funny position while flying... then i thought - well, what's now? and made the aforementioned texts and calls... police car came (delayed by the huge traffic jam in our lane - the other was empty) and drove us some way...
my dog was so relived to breath the mountain solitude air...

on the 1/10 though i dreamed something like your cottages resort -
dream:
i arrived there to do or ask something for my (11-12, in this dream) daughter, but at the entrance some people came, said "excuseme, we are against"... the occupation? the resistance? "and we want to"... fake a terrorist attack?

note: like an operation i almost did in my youth as a reporter of a student magazine - in order to show how easy it was to break into the students' accommodations. at the last moment we got a postpone instruction from the magazine's editor - for a real terrorist attack occurred at that night - the breaking into the Savoy hotel? or some plain abducton? i don'tremember which

they carry a very long automatic machine-gun, which made me doubt - are they really only joking?
i say - yea, yea. put the meat i'm carrying in some - cupboard?
other (young) people coming, waiting outside too. suddenly i smell delicious steaks. looking - a young man, black forelock, is cutting skillfully small slices of meat to put on a pan. he says - meanwhile, we'll eat - bursting into relaxed horselaugh, latin-american style. i join the laughter, thinking - wait, won't it prevent the success of their operation? who will believe it's a terrorist attack while smelling that feast? but- what do i care. then i woke.

That sounds scary, what a nightmare!

But it shows how technology malfunctioning can work as a really good dream sign, right!?

The dream from Oct, 1st sounds pretty interesting, if I'm being honest. It'd make a cool story, maybe you should write it as a fiction work or something... I'd read it!

another real situation, very dream-like and full of tech mishaps:
2 years ago: at night, at a train station in Tel=Aviv, walked to platform 3 to take a train to Beer-Sheva, according to the schedule my train was about to arrive. felt unsure fore some reason, asked a soldier wether he knows when the train to Beer sheva leaves];he shaw me the electric board announcing - the train to Beer Sheva will depart at 10;00 from platform 1! "hurry!" he said. the elevator didn't work, i had to climb lot of stairs with my heavy rock-sack... no train to beer Sheva. i went to the station manager office. he said - no, trains to Beer Sheva depart from platform 3!
- me and another person saw the announcement that the 10:00 train moved to platform 1!
- i know nothing of that. you can complain, here is the phone number.
- forget it, just tell me when and where the next train departs.
-in twenty minutes from platform 3.
i staggered my way back... 10:20... no train. red the printed schedule... next train 11:00. staggered back to the manager. he looked again at his schedule.
"oh i'm sorry this was my mistake! right, no train at 10:20! i didn't look well! you can complain for sure!
skipped complaining options again - i was more concerned about my hosts for the night, people who ran the ecological festival i was heading to.

i called them to say i missed a train and will arrive 11(40. they said i'll be too late to come to their house, but someone volunteered to drive me to the deserted communal garden, the site of the festival, where i slept eventually, outdoors.

this time the elevator came at once, functioned perfectly...

interestingly, on the day i came back (by train) the news said was an almost deadly accident when a cargo train fell off trail almost causing major environmental havoc...

The dream from Oct, 1st sounds pretty interesting, if I'm being honest. It'd make a cool story, maybe you should write it as a fiction work or something... I'd read it!

o nice to have a reader in advance... it's like getting an Advance payment...
thank you.

actually this os about all i remember from that dream... but fiction one could always complete from imagination...
if i ever find the time... which is not likely... i'll give you a link.
