Dreaming; Night of
February 4, 1986
       6:48 pm              Some stuff. Then, I was driving at night in a pick-up truck. The battery died enough so that no internal/external lights would work but that the engine still ran. Then I ran out of gas. I pulled over as much as I could. I tried to catch a couple of rides, but they wouldn't stop—all head lights. Then a small crowd of people came with lights, not for me, but I took advantage of it. I saw in my truck bed some strange, golden coin-like objects of what were obviously several denominations and shapes. I stuck some in my pockets. Then some more happened, and someone began attempting to kill me. I eventually found out that it was a woman, a well-trained one. More happened as I thwarted various attempts. We ended up on a rocky mountain top. I managed to get her guns away from her (she had 3 sizes) but while I tried to get the ammo, she threw them off the cliff. Then I saw a slide, white, set into the mountain. I slid down it and discovered that it wasn't a mountain at all but a man-made structure and that the slide quickly ended in a pool of water. I tried to get out of the water as quickly as possible, sensing danger. Sure enough, I saw two very large tiger-like animals begin swimming toward me. I was making only slow progress and knew I wouldn't make it. Suddenly, my PoV shifted ahead and I was out, looking back at my body and the creatures, the latter of which soon made a carcass of the former, one of them biting off my face and spitting it out so that it flew over and landed in the water at my feet. Then a slight shift. I was in a restaurant with some of the science fiction club. A little occurred, and then I started getting suspicious that someone in the kitchen was one of the ones (aliens, I'd been assuming) responsible for the previous attempts on my life and that they were going to try again. I got in a struggle with one tubby guy. A bit else. (G)

     2I was in a kind of department store-type place, checking out women and else. V was there. I saw SM buying some drinks, so I went over and gave him a hard time, pretending like I was going to take one. Then I went outside and tried to steal his car. It was being worked on and didn't run. People started chasing me. After a merry chase, I ran through a gate in a chain-link fence about 12-15 feet high, shutting it just behind one of my pursuers. Instead of trying to come after me, he just smiled and said, "Good, now the dog will bite you." I looked and saw that I was in a rectangular enclosure. A German shepard was quickly bearing down on me. I scrambled up the fence and leaped outward off of the top, just as the leaping dog's jaws reached the top. I landed and started running again. I talked briefly to the mechanic working on a car I'd wanted to steal, then I went after another one with its windows rolled down. (H)
