Rainy Intersection at Night

 A few nights ago I had another one of my astral travels. I was well rested because my weekend was ending and I had rested and slept a lot during the weekend.

That night I went to bed as usual. I had to go to work the next day. As I slept I went into a dream.

I was driving my SUV and realized I was low on gas. I made a stop at a very dingy looking location. It didn't even look like a gas station. It was more like a small lot with a small garage to one side. It was night time. Someone pumped some gas into his car and drove away. I pulled up and took his spot.

I went into the small garage where he had put the fuel caddy. It had a foot operated pump.

When I walked into the garage a medium sized dog growled and barked at me. I froze, I thought it was going to attack me. Instead it ran to me and began to run around and jump up and down much like a dog does when it's happy to see someone. I was relieved, but then I saw a German Shepard lying down asleep. I worried again because I didn't know how this other dog would react to me. Fortunately it got up and began to run around and jump around just like the other dog.

I got the fuel caddy and went back to my vehicle. When I arrived I realized it was missing a hose, nozzle, and some attachments so I went back to the garage. I found them on the floor. I picked them up and headed back to my vehicle.

I was shocked when I returned and realized that my vehicle had been stolen. Only a bent out of shape wheel had been left behind. I couldn't believe it! How could someone have stolen my vehicle so fast! I wasn't gone more than thirty seconds when I went back to the garage to get the hose and nozzle.

I walked out of the lot and looked down the street to my left. The thieves couldn't have gotten to far away. I expected to still be able to see them driving away with my vehicle but I saw nothing towards my left. I looked to my right and saw an intersection not to far away so I decided to walk to it and look around.

I reached the intersection. Up to this point I had simply been dreaming. Suddenly it dawned on me that my vehicle could not have been stolen. How can anyone drive away if they had left a bent out of shape wheel behind?

I became lucid at this moment; I woke up in the astral.

I looked around and saw many people. They were all engaged in their own activities. Just as I usually do in my astral travels. I have written many times previously that I see many people in the astral world. The astral world is not empty, it is full of people.

The place I was at was hilly. From where I stood, ahead of me the hill went up. To my right the street went downhill. To my left it went slightly up. Towards my back was it downhill.

It was dark but the streets were lit up by lights. I simply stood there and observed the scene. It was peaceful, mystical. I realized it was raining but this didn't concern me. I remembered from a previous astral travel experience that in the astral the rain had no effect on me. I could feel it but it didn't get me wet (That particular astral travel was one of my longest experiences. I didn't log it but I remember it very well. Maybe someday I'll post it.)

As I stood there and observed the scene I slowly began to feel my consciousness shift from the astral back to the physical. I returned to the vigil state and found myself laying in bed. I went back to sleep and a couple of hours later I woke up again. I saw the clock and realized it was almost time for me to get up so I didn't bother going back to sleep. I just lay in bed until it was time for me to get up.
