Some workmen came to my door and asked for directions, and I said turn first left, three times. The next thing I knew I was in their van with them, but instead of going left, left and left they just carried on without turning, after leaving my road, and I kept on telling them to let me out, which they eventually did, but I didn't know where I was.

Turning first left three times happens to be the first part of the route I take when walking to a friend's house, but I'm not sure if this has any significance, and in any case, we didn't go that way. Instead I ended up in a place I wasn't familiar with, which isn't particularly uncommon in my dreams, though it's been quite a while since I've had one like that.
You will figure it out. Not that hard.

I ran across a tv series claiming to be sci fy, Helix, so tried to watch it. Could not stand it, some asshole tried to make a legit sci fy out of zombies. I deleted it.
It's a fear of getting lost, being in an unfamiliar place. Pretty obvious, really.

Zombies are really boring.

Do NOT get into the dream van, Maia. You do realize that there was a movie in the 80s called dreamscape or dream something-or-other, and in the movie, if you died in a dream, you also really died.

That's what we used to tell each other as kids, that if you died in a dream, you really died. To which the obvious question is, how would anyone know?

In my many worlds theory, the person who found you dead would have to contact a person in the other world you woke up in and tell them to tell you that you just died in the other world or nobody would ever know, not even you. That's the bitch about there being no coms between worlds. And you can't switch between yous while you're living on one of the worlds. You have to die to move on to the next one. It's a bloody drag but that's the way it is.

That's a really good theory, as there's no possible way of ever proving it, or finding any sort of evidence for it, so it must be true.

Yes exactly! It can't be falsified so it's true.

Yes, I believe that's how science works, isn't it? Something like that, anyway.

I suppose there's also the point that it's never a good idea to get into a van with strange men. I didn't, though. One minute I was talking to them at my front door, the next I was in the van with them.
If you desire to learn there, then you have to focus on just one question, this prevents you from spinning off trying to guess. It also helps you focus.
learn to ask pertinent questions. If you are answered, the answers are for you alone.
Ok, fair enough, but usually I don't even have to guess. The answer is obvious.
You must be a whole lot smarter than me. It has sometimes taken me decades to understand an answer to a question I asked. I test out answers, even from dreams.
Dreams can be about what is, or what will be. For all dreams depend upon associations you made with what was. When they are about what will be, then you know that you are not wise enough to have constructed them. You can test that out when they have indeed, come to pass.

Your mind is always devoted to predictive behavior, the future. Some things you can figure out, but other's you may never imagine that you could accomplish or even thought of accomplishing, when the dream tells you that you will, and you do, where did that information come from?
