I was driving down an unfamiliar road when I see a pretty girl stopped on the side standing by her jeep. I start to just keep going cos I've got to be to work and haven't alot of time, but she waves me down and I figure maybe I should help afterall. I stop and ask her what's wrong and she says she has a flat tire. I say I have a hydraulic jack and can help her out. She's Caucasian with long auburn hair that comes to her waist, blue eyes, a tall slender build with a white t-shirt on and jean skirt. She seemed to have a permanent smile on her face and was extremely nice. She even thanks me profusely for helping. I get the jack and come back to her jeep but can't seem to see where the flat tire is as each one looks fine. If it's a tiny puncture that's slowly leaking then she could just take it to a nearby tire shop and have it patched for cheap instead of changing it right now. But I suppose this is what she wants. She says she wants to go home first and so instead of trailing her in my car I go back and close my car door, throwing my extra set of keys in the car seat and making it stupidly easy to steal, and then head back to her jeep to ride with her. Not only did I realize that my car was my old Saturn that got wrecked early this year, but it might be stolen when I get back. I just brushed it off and hoped no one would take it. We drove down various streets and she still never stopped smiling. Not even once. And she kept saying positive affirmations out loud like, "Thank you for this miracle. Thank you for life. I am grateful for my family, grateful for peace..." It was a bit weird to put it lightly, but I figured she was very bohemian-like and positive minded, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with that. I could use more of that in my life really. We end up stopping at her house and the garage door opens showing a middle aged man emerge who looks a little like her. "Husband?" I say assuming, but the door opens up into the house instead of a garage like I thought. There was a middle aged woman there too and I start feeling like this is her parents. I begin to think that maybe I have a shot at dating her afterall then if she's single. A man around her age is there too and seems to be missing a nose. All of them do have rather peculiar faces that seem to be more ape-shaped in the mouth area than anything. I don't focus on it and say hi to everyone but none of them speak back so I wonder if they heard me at all. The girl comes in and we sit down at the table where they were having breakfast. I look at my watch wondering how long this will take cos I really should be getting back. Why did I come here anyway? Weirdly my watch says 10:00pm even though it's still very bright outside. I have to be to work by midnight so I do still have time at least. I can't remember doing much while here other than listening to them talk about alot of nothing for awhile. Eventually I get up and politely tell the girl that I really should be going since I have to get to work. She smiles even bigger and thanks me for helping and joining her home. She isn't getting up though so I wonder if she remembers that she's my ride back. The man I assumed was her brother walks me out to her car so I guess he's driving me back. This is a bit annoying cos now I'll have to tell him the way and I can't exactly remember that. When we get to the car there's a very large man in a sheriff's uniform sitting in the driver's seat. 'Who's this now?' I wonder to myself. Things just keep getting odder and odder and I just wanna get back to my car. I get into the passenger seat which wakes the man up. Apparently he'd been sleeping in here. He looks at me and then begins saying affirmations out loud just like the girl, "I am grateful for this universe, grateful for life. I am grateful for my family and grateful for peace..." Again I'm very weirded out and even creeped out at this point. Moments later I abruptly awaken to find I've slept with my headphones on while listening to a positive affirmations YouTube video. Now all the weirdness of the dream characters makes total sense. It made me wonder about my own mind though and my inclination to jump to conclusions about extreme niceness being creepy or that it has some sinister intent underneath. Those people were a bit eccentric but still nice and never did much of anything to make me feel unwelcome.
