So I decided to hang out with the strange guy downstairs. He was in his early 20s and he hung out with this younger girl, inappropriately, as he was always making comments whenever he accidentally came into physical contact with her like “Ooh, our fingers just touched”. So we ended up driving around in my car and talking about whatever came to mind. I drove the car into a parking lot. At the end of the parking lot, there was a path leading along the beach, but it was blocked by those metal posts to prevent vehicles from going through. Without even considering what was happening, I slowed down and then slowly proceeded forward onto the path. My car had transformed into a four-wheeled kid’s tricycle to fit through. It had a molded plastic bucket seat and four wheels. I was still in it, and the two people in the back seat were now walking on either side of me. It rolled to a stop and a few people gathered around. Perhaps made shy by the attention, I said “and it also becomes a Nubicus”, and I flipped it up over my body like an incomplete shell. Curious, people peered inside, and with humor, I swatted at them like a cat.
Creativity and Humor: My sense of humor is the same as my waking self. The word “Nubicus” came to me instantly and it sounded funny so I went with it, then playfully imitated a cat.
A Better Rationalization: The thought form rationalization changes to fit the situation. No longer able to fit between the posts, the car shrinks down to a tricycle to fit. Meanwhile, my companions continue on foot.
Usually when done with a travel rationalization, we leave it behind and it melts out of sight as our attention turns towards the destination. But here with people around me, I’m left with the shrinking rationalization and awkwardly pick it up and wear it.
