Last night I woke up needing to pee. I didn’t want to check the time, but I had a feeling it was around 5 a.m. I had to wake up at 8 a.m., so I did my business and got back into bed. I had a very quick dream.
In this dream, I am in a car with my friend and two white girls. We’re driving around on a mountain and it’s dark. There are other cars, but what matters is happening inside. One girl is driving the car, my friend’s in the passenger, and me and the other girl are in the back. The girl driving is speeding along the mountain. My friend and I are having a petty argument where she’s implying I can’t do basic tasks without her, like buying onions or batteries or something. I say something like, “Really? You really think you’re that important?” We stare at each other. And then I see we’re rounding a curve and right before the curve is a series of hills. I’m thinking, fuck, how fast is this bitch going? Who is driving? And I realize it’s the girl in the backseat who’s driving, but she’s not paying attention. We zoom up the first hill and launch into the air. I close my eyes because I realize we’re flying over the edge of the mountain. I can see the lights of a city.
And then I wake up.
I know what the dream is telling me.
I felt sleep paralysis coming, but I turned my body into the dark and went back to sleep.
