Nutshell Kingdom: nightmare of potentialities
2003
So, I'm riding in this car with two girls (I know them in the dream, but not in real life) along the Michigan peninsula. One of the girls is driving, one is in the backseat, I'm in the passenger seat. The scary thing is, I happen to know that the car is evil and possessed, ala "Christine." So, as the dream progresses, we drive through residential area after residential area, passing through cinematically suspenseful scenes like someone whose leashed dog is in the street or someone with a baby carriage and I know, really KNOW, that the car is gonna go all evil and just start running down pets and babies and I'm powerless to stop it. However, the car never does anything like that. Nothing evil at all. Occasionally, the girl driving will run a stop sign in a particularly forebodeing way. But that's it. When I wake up, I'm still terrified by what "could" happen, but nothing really happened. It was a nightmare of potentialities. My first. Terrifying.
Now. I've already pretty much settled on what this all means for me, but if anyone would like to posit a guess, I'd be interested in hearing.
