The Road Trip (non-lucid - 06/14/08)
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...rip#post830985

In this dream I am a male college student.

There is an intriguing/charismatic older student who is in a wheelchair who bares a strong resemblance in looks and manner to Jack Nicholson. I can't recall his name so I'll just call him "Jack".

I am a bit of a loner and don't have any real friends so when I overhear him say that he needs a ride out of town, I go over to him and offer him a ride in my old car.



He readily accepts and we start on our way!

While we drive he shares stories of his youth and his triumphs with girls and I am in awe of him and start to wish that I had known him then.. before "the chair". He doesn't speak of how he came to be in it and I get the feeling it best not to ask.

We are about 5 hours away when he states that he needs to make a stop at a clinic to get checked out and refill his prescriptions.

We pull in front of a two story clinic and I walk up the stairs and wait for him just inside the door while he comes up in the elevator.

The staff greets Jack warmly but they believe that I am someone else and tell me that I have to sign in while they take Jack back to a room. I try to tell them that I'm not who they think I am but they insist I sign in on the computer. I go to the computer and try to enter my name but the keyboard isn't typing what I key. I try again and then once more.. but it just isn't working and I sense the people waiting behind me getting impatient. I finally give up and leave the gibberish as my name and walk away.

I see that the clinic sells comfortable/orthopedic shoes and I walk along the walls taking a look.

I walk past some waiting Asian children sitting on the floor and they look at me, roll their eyes and giggle beneath their hands.

It is at that moment that I realize how I appear. I am dressed pretty much like a complete "dork". I have on an oversized shirt, some flooding scrub bottoms, white socks and shoes.

Jack finally appears and he's accompanied by a young nurse.

He rolls past me saying as he goes by, "Sorry kid.. I gotta leave you."

I panic stating, "What?!?! You can't!! I don't know where we are or how to get back to school!!"

He merely replies, "I gotta go but you'll be fine."

I plead with him not to do this but he's already forgotten that I exist as he gets on the elevator.

A female administrator at the clinic witnesses what's going on and comes over to comfort me. I repeat what has happened and she asks me where my car is parked. I go outside and my car is gone!! I search the small lot but it's gone.. Jack has taken it!

I go back inside and I'm freaking it out as I had planned on using the Tom Tom in my car to navigate my way back to school and now I didn't know what to do.

She sees that I still have my car keys in my hand and tells me to press the remote button. I sarcastically reply, "What do you think is going to happen.. that the car is going to show up back here if I press the remote?!?"

She tells me to try stating, "What can it hurt?"

I press the button and simultaneously the clinic door bell rings!

I look at her and, as she smiles, she waves her hand towards the door.

I open the door and all that I can see is a shiny red sports car taking up the entire door way!

I turn to look at the Admin and when I look back the car is sitting in the parking lot. I go outside and it is the most beautiful car that I've ever seen.



I also notice that I am no longer dressed as a "dork" but am stylishly dressed in a crisp white linen short sleeved shirt, dark slacks and shoes.

There are also sexy girls standing around the car waiting for me to pick one to ride away with. I look over in confusion at the Admin who merely smiles again at me and nods her head while giving me a wink.

I get in the car and a girl gets in the passenger seat. I put the key in the ignition and everyone laughs as the car's powerful engine revs.

The dream ends as my husband gets up (thus waking me up) to go to the gym.

NOTE: The first thought that comes to mind as I finish writing this dream is that saying, "No good dead goes unpunished".. but then again, sometimes.. just sometimes.. the good guy really does win in the end.

Then dallyup provided even deeper meaning stating, "The whole ... looking up to a mentor and his leaving you with much more than you had at first thought that you had. All your wishes and dreams. The worries gone. Good dream."
