Not a dream, but my early driving episode occurred when my dad decided that 8 was about old enough to teach me how to use a riding mower. He put me on the mower and told me how it worked and set me off around the yard. Next thing I knew, I was heading straight for a (small, fairly recently planted) tree. I froze up and forgot about the brake concept. Tried to steer around it, but that just wasn't happening, so instead I drove right into (and halfway over)it. My dad flipped out (and as a result, I ran away from home for an afternoon or so), but I never had to mow the lawn again. My older sister was pissed to be stuck with that job for the remaider of her teen years.

It was just an image that suddenly came to mind.

Just on your straps!

Not so fast there, Rocky. Let's see you take on a fern or two first. You don't want to rush it.

My only runaway attempt in memory was thwarted by the "the amount of trouble you'd be in if you cross (four major streets surrounding my neighborhood) without a grown-up is larger than a spanking, a grounding from everything you love and hold dear, and a diet of vienna sausages, liver, and brussels sprouts for the rest of your life" threat. I probably spent an hour looking at one of those streets trying to psych myself up into crossing it. Ultimately, I figured that the threat would still kick into place even if I managed to never, ever see them again, like I shouted when I left the house. My mother wasn't as overjoyed by my forgiving her and agreeing to stay in the family as I thought she'd be.

I don't remember why I was running away.

I have a whole front yard of grass that I'm looking to kill, if Atticus is looking to rescue more people from evil plants.

Dreams

I was an idiot again last night and then "slept" fitfully. I woke up with the knowledge that I had a HUGE hickey on my neck from someone other than my husband. I didn't really look in the mirror much this morning, just showered and got dressed, carefully selecting a turtleneck. It was only later that I realized that the hickey was acquired in my dream. Made me feel (slightly) better.

Did anyone ever have the dream where you forgot to put the porno movie away and you went to work and the wife and kids will be home first?

Well I just had that "dream" and luckily stopped back to go to the bathroom.

My youthful attempt at running away was thwarted by the fact that I packed a backpack full of all my books and had trouble lugging the damn thing very far. A neighbor picked me up in his tractor and brought me home.

When I was 6 or 7, I got real upset for some reason, packed a bag of toys and a peanut butter sandwich, and left home in search of freedom from the tyranny of my parents. I found this freedom in the park near my house, and marvelled at my emancipation all day long. Then it got dark, my sandwich was long gone, and I decided to be the bigger person and forgive my parents, and made it home in time for dinner. From that point on, they knew who was boss.

I have only left them out for the cleaning people. Not a dream.

You've come up with a rather unorthodox reason not to go twosies at the office, but a valid one nonetheless. Regards!
