Driving my Friend's Car One Morning: a dream 友達の車の朝運転:夢

昨日の夜はなんと不思議な夢をしました。
天気が良かった日で僕は友達の庭でテクテクと歩いてた。何羽もこぞえなかったくらいのカラスがなき、僕はぼーっとしてた。そのときにパっと思った。

友達の車にちょっとのろうか、と。

でも僕はまだ免許もなかったし、いったいどういやって運転すれべきだったのかは全然かんがえてなかた。でもとりあえずのりたかった。友達もまだ寝てたし、チャンスだった。だから、僕は白いヴァンにのって、二つの手でハンドルをグリップした。エンジンがなんと簡単にかけられたので、すぐにもうアクセルふんだらうごく状態になってた。それで、僕は右足でアクセルをそっとふんであたりまえに、白いヴァンが反応してうごいた。でもアクセルをふみながらハンドルをグリップするのは僕にはむずかしすぎてもとにもどそうと思ったらヴァンがとまらなかった。ブレーキをかけてもまだとまらなかった。でもなんどもかけたらなんと中途半端にとまってしまった。車からでたあと、家に帰ろうと思った。とまってるとこが最初とちがくなったから友達にしかられるなっと思った。でも庭に歩いて、後ろに車をみたらなんとだんだん小さくなってきた。RCのサイズに縮小した。何故かはっきりわかんなかったが、白いヴァンが縮小した。

そのあと、僕は起きた。

So this is a weird dream I had yesterday.
It was no other than a typical sunny day. I was at my friend's garden, walking about aimlessly. Countless flocks of crows cawed as it echoed throughout the sky. That's when an idea popped up into me.

Let me try and drive my friend's car.

Now I wasn't a licensed driver yet so I didn't know how exactly I would be able to do it. But regardless, I wanted to try and see what it was like. He was still sleeping so it was my chance. So I hopped in the white van, and gripped the steering wheel with both my hands. I was able to turn on the engine so easily, without a key, that all that was left to move this big boy was to hit the axle. So without wasting anymore time, I hit the axle with my right foot, and, as expected, the white van moved slowly forward. But hitting the axle while handling the steering wheel was a little too difficult. I tried to stop the car, but it wouldn't stop. I tried to hit the brake, but it would only slowly keep moving forward. But the more I tried, it finally stopped. The moment I went out of the van I thought that I should go back to his home. Finding out that his white van was parked in a different place than before would only make him mad and curious, I thought. While walking back, I looked back at the van and it suddenly started to shrink in size. All the way until it was the size of an RC car. I had no idea why and how this happened, but it did. The white van shrunk.

After that, I woke up.
