(12/15/08) looking for car in rain

(Entered in paper journal at 11:20 AM, on Q-train from Brooklyn into Manhattan.)

Dream #1

It was night. I was coming out of a grocery store which may have had all its lights off. There may have been occasional flashes of lightning. I walked out of the shopping area and into a little pre-entrance area (which would normally have vending machines, etc.), holding the door behind me as I walked through. The door may have been electric, but it may have needed to be held open since all the power was out.

A couple women walked out the door behind me, but one woman wouldn't walk out while I held the door. She held the door and pushed on it until I got the idea and let go.

I walked out to the covered walkway that opened to the parking lot. It was raining heavily outside. There seemed to be a good amount of people rushing to and fro in the rain. The rain was so heavy it looked like a slightly luminious, grey cloud of impenetrable mist.

I was prepared to run through the rain to my car. I knew my umbrella would only slightly protect me, but that I would only get moderately wet if I hurried.

But I then realized that I had no idea where my car was in the parking lot. I was simultaneously trying to remember where my car was and trying to figure how wet I would get if I just made a mad dash through all the rows of the lot until I found my car.
