Dreams Projecting the Future

One of the things I’ve always believed is that dreams project the future.  I try to demonstrate that starting when the guys are in Nevada.  That's with Randy and his wife, the couple who eventually dump them in Elko for smelling so bad (or something like that).  During this ride, Roger falls asleep and has a dream about smearing a car’s windows with paint.  It’s an unusual vision . . . nothing that I’d ever witnessed in real life. Move forward 38 pages, though, to when the hippie solider from Fort Ord, the guy “looking for a way to go AWOL,” picks them up along the California coast. What kind of a car is he driving? A station wagon, "with all the windows painted black, except for the windshield." Exactly matching the dream. I guess that was his privacy statement. For purposes of the book, it shows how Roger’s dream from several days previous became reality. It projected the future. I don’t make a big deal out of it; I just put it out there and move forward. But it’s one of those things added for the sake of my own general life view.
