    Carjacked

    5:43AM - #154 - Carjacked - DILD

    My wife and I are taking my older daughter to school. I see the time is 6:27AM and she needs to be there at 7AM. I am near her grandparents house and I see her great grandparents drive by us in a white SUV. My daughter needs to stop at her grandparents for something and since we are early I say OK.

    For some reason we don't pull into their driveway but wait in some parking garage full of police cars. I assume it's a police station. I am talking to my wife while we wait and I realize I left the other car parked in the middle of the intersection. I decide I better go move it. When I get to it I see someone is in the driver seat making a U-turn. I run up to the car and jump in the passenger side before he can get away. I yell at him and tell him to get out of my car. He mostly ignores me. I see a cop walking near the station and I roll down the window, wave my arm to get his attention, and tell him to help me. He seems like he can't really understand me and just smiles and waves back.

    I pull out my phone to call 911. I tell the carjacker that if he just leaves I won't bother calling the cops. He grumbles something and tells me I better not. I go to dial and he slaps the phone and nearly makes me drop it. I turn sideways in the car and kick him in the face. Then, I dial 911. I look up and the car is parked and the man is running away.

    Dispatcher: 911. What's your emergency?
    Me: Help me. He tried to steal my car. We are in CJ near the police station. I am in a White Mercury.
    Dispatcher: How did it happen?
    Me: Well I left it running in the street. Hurry! He's getting away!

    I see the man vault over a barbed-wire fence and run into a pasture with about 10 cows. He dashes through the herd only to be clotheslined by a burly cop. There is a short fight and several other cops come to subdue him. Then, one of the cows gets riled up by all the action and begins to paw hooves at the burly cop, but he is not to be bothered. He picks the cow up with one arm and body slams it hard to the ground.

    Relived, I thank the dispatcher tell her that they got him. I wait for more instruction or at least some sort of reply but the phone is silent. "Hello?" No answer. I put the phone away, step out of the car, stretch and say, "AH! Now that was a good dream."

    The dream goes black and I am in the void. I say, "Oh wait! I am dreaming!" I try to bring the dream back by rubbing my hands but I feel like I am just lying in bed with my hands up in front of me. I do this for about a full minute. I begin to feel my left hand go numb like it does when I try to read or something laying down. I wonder if I am really doing this or if it is a dream. I decide it's not working and relax. I immediately feel a slight vibration but It was so brief that I think it's only just beginning. I try to wait for more but fall victim to FA.

    I wake up on the dinning room table with a blanket over me. Immediately begin to recall the dream with accurate detail and begin writing with pencil and paper. I decide to only write a brief summary like I usually do on my GP.

    I look at the other end of the table and see my two cats and one of my dogs all snuggled up together with their own blanket. The dog wakes up and jumps off. I look to the bedroom and see some man coming out with my wife. He looks like one of the quality engineers from work. They are chatting while he is taking photos and measurements of house. I get self conscious and annoyed that he is doing all this when I just woke up. I must look a mess here on this table. I wake up.

      I love everything about that fight scene in the cow pasture! The police in your town are super intimidating!

      I wish I had some thoughts on that "ah crap, I'm this close to moving my physical body" feeling that you had during the DILD. Any idea how best to handle that?

      Yeah, I really don't think it was real and I just need to asume that it's not really happening next. The next time I think that- I need to do a quick RC. And If I get out of bed and find that I'm really awake then, oh well. I think it's better to assume than be fooled.

      I hear you. I've had a huge number of experiences where I was so worried that I was awake. Like I was waving my hands around or talking IWL. But every time I took the brave/crazy approach and just assumed I was still dreaming, it has paid off.

      Having said that, no jumping out the window when I have that feeling of course. I just mean those times where I am scared that I'm talking/singing/waving my arms around in bed. Times where I almost lose the LD because I'm afraid of looking foolish. Powering through that has always been the right move. At this point, I've looked foolish so many times in my life that what's one more?
