I and another member of my family (either my father or my mother) were sitting huddled on the stairs. Someone was sitting on the landing above, fishing, and we kept trying to keep out of reach of the hooks. I imagine we could have gotten away but somehow we had to stay. In another fragment of the dream I was driving a truck and two of my school friends were with me. We went from store to store buying books. I could see myself shifting gears & even said in the dream, "Now put her in second, now third," etc. Interpretation I have no interpretation, but I do wonder about driving. This is the third dream I have had in which I have been driving and shifting gears has been such an important part of the dream. Perhaps this is because I want to learn to drive & the only thing I can do now is shift gears, but I don't think I want to drive that badly. Perhaps there is some other explanation.
