I had a couple dream scenes last night that I remember. The first one began with me being a school student, and being aboard some ship that was apparently the size of a mini-aircraft carrier. It was rather rickety. The ship ended up sinking, and we had to all get out through a tiny opening in the front of the ship. The sequence must have repeated, or maybe the ship came back to the surface, and we got on board again. It sank again. Then a military carrier came to rescue us. There was an odd sequence where an officer getting everyone on board checked everyone's luggage saying, "no traveller's cheque, no traveller." Apparently he was checking identities of luggage to make sure that people didn't grab the stuff of the dead and carry it off. It still seemed odd to me. I was watching this scene but didn't participate. The last scene was completely separate from the other two. I got a new car. It was a red one, I remember, and I was trying it out with some lady in the passenger seat -- not sure who she was. It had some new technology in it, not your standard gas and brake pedals. I also was delighted to discover that it had air conditioning! (I've rarely ridden in a car with actual A/C.) There was a brand name that I remember, but it doesn't exist in reality. Thoughts on these as metaphor?
