1996/6/23 COCO Invisible Taxi
(dream) Midday nap dream. I am walking to Kanazawa Hakkei station when I realize I've forgotten something and decide to return home by taxi. I board a dark blue cab at the taxi stand in front of the station. Inside the taxi walls and seats are invisible; it's like being transported floating in space. The driver is also invisible. I pass him a note telling him my destination. He just nods in silence. (Is this going to be all right?) Sure enough, he turns the wrong way at the turn off. "Mm, I probably should have said something sooner, but we're going the wrong way," I say. He is mute as I thought. He turns in suit where few others have turned but it is a dead end. (Is this guy really all right?) The corner we turned is at the bottom of a flight of stairs and the exit is overgrown with vines. Just as I think, 'I'm screwed,' the driver jumps me. He has swarthy eyes wears glasses. I scream out "help" in a loud voice. Just as his hand strikes my body I awake. (The end.)
An invisible taxi was strange enough, but then it took me to a hell of a place, didn't it. Best beware of taxis in your dreams.
