I had a dream last night.
Actually, to be more accurate, it was a bad dream.
In it, I was at work with my boyfriend. The two of us were working the night shift, but for some reason, my shift ended at 7:30. So another one of my co-workers came in to relieve me. As I was leaving, I was complaining to her that, "Wah wah, I have to work so late, and be in so early tomorrow, wah wah." She was totally feeling my pain. So anyway, I leave the building, and it is dark outside (uncommon for this time of the year; it usually does not get dark until well after 8 o'clock). As I start heading for the parking lot, I see a middle aged man in a parked car, with his window rolled down. As I started approaching him, I notice that he is watching me. I begin to feel a little uncomfortable. I make the mistake of glancing at him as I walk by, and he starts talking to me from inside the car. I don't remember what he was saying - probably something that a stranger might say to another stranger (like, "Nice weather we're having, huh?"). I just sort of smiled at him and continued on my way. As I walked by and got pretty far away, I noticed that he had gotten out of his car. At first, I thought he was going to go into the mall. But then I hear his voice behind me say, "Hey." I didn't even look back. I knew he was following me, so I wanted to get into my car as fast as I could. I quickly opened my car door, but unfortunately, there was a car parked very close to mine, so my door wouldn't open very far. Luckily, I'm skinny, so I was able to squeeze in, but of course, that slowed me down some. I went to reach for the door, to close it, and I saw the man approaching the side of my car. My plan was to close the door and hit the lock - which would lock all of the doors simultaneously. I just had this terrible feeling that this man was going to do something bad. But before I could even close the door, I woke up from the dream. And I not only woke up, but I woke up shivering. Not because I was cold (it was quite warm here last night), but because I was scared. Don't you just love waking up from a dream, feeling the same emotion you were feeling right before you woke up? So I looked at the clock, and it was about 2:30 a.m. Part of me wanted to return to the dream, to see if I managed to escape, but then I wouldn't want to return if I didn't escape, because I'm guessing the rest of the dream wouldn't have been very fun.
So what does this dream mean? Is it predicting something that is going to happen in the future? Or, is my subconscious trying to tell me that I have a fear of getting kidnapped in a parking lot? If it's the latter, then I say...Well, duh.
