TBTT#40 Seriously, Where’s My Car? ~ 7/15/2018

I dreamed I was on a business trip with a friend to meet with an important client. I was staying in this little cabin, and had use of a car that went with it, but I also had my own car.

I had driven to our client dinner, and was running a little late. By the time I got there, the client company CEO and my friend had already started drinking tequila shots. So I was over here trying to maintain a level of professionalism, and the two of them were giggling together like school girls.

I tried to have a serious talk with my friend, but I wasn’t too successful. She stopped giggling for a while, but then, when the snack trays got passed around, she started taking two of each snack where there were only three left, because she knew I would never take the last one. I tried to have another serious talk with her about appropriate behavior, but that’s when I realized I wasn’t wearing any clothes.

Finally the dinner was over, but since everyone else was tipsy, they wouldn’t believe I was fine to drive, so they sent me home in a taxi. The next day I had to drive the car that came with the cabin, and it wasn’t the greatest. 

After work that day I drove to the store to get something for the drive home, and I forgot where I parked, and what my car looked like. The city had one of those loaner car things where you find a car near you and then leave the keys in it when you’re done, so I found a city car in the store lot and started trying to find my car.


While I was on my way to the restaurant we’d dined at, my friend called to ask for a ride to the airport. I took her there, then found the restaurant, only to learn that my car had just been towed. When I went back to get into my city car, someone had taken it. I was still trying to sort out how I’d retrieve the two cars I had running loose in a strange city when I woke up.
