This entry and all others from 1996-97 are part of my dream project which extended from August 1996-97. I kept track of my dreams for an entire year by recording them to audiocassette and illustrating what parts I could in composition books. I ended up with over 70 ninety-minute cassettes and four composition books detailing my dreams.
The written transcription is from a much later date than 1996-97 but is almost word-for-word, with some slight corrections and omissions. This typed transcription is not 100% faithful to the original verbal account, as it allows for slight modifications, additions, omissions, and corrections. There are new separations between paragraphs and dreams are separated into different entries at approximately the right places. In addition, segments of dreams MAY be transposed/moved/added to other sections as I see fit. Aside from these modifications, these dreams are detailed exactly as I had them over six years ago.
Dad was driving this car and I was a passenger; it seemed to be winter but I'm not sure. We were driving down this road and then for some reason he got out while the car was still moving and left me alone! I was alone in this car that was going down the road, and it went on by itself for a while until I realized, "I have to drive this car. I'm going to get into an accident." So I got into the driver's seat and tried to drive, but the car kept swerving from side to side and I just couldn't get control of it. I think I finally did, but it was hard.
