Don't Panic!

I don’t remember what leads up to this point in the dream, but i’m out and about and run into WayneM. He’s driving up to DC for a business meeting and i decide on the spur of the moment to go with him. I remember being in the passenger seat of his truck or SUB. We're driving on a highway and going pretty fast. Uneventful trip. I might be riding in a bus some too. We get to the “station” and i realize i don’t have my purse or any identification on me, no money or credit cards, AND my phone battery is in the yellow and i doubt there’s enough juice to call anybody for help. I ask Wayne if he will loan me some money so i can grab the bus back home. I check the bus schedule. It's now 7:30 pm and realize i’ve arrived ON the last bus for the day and there won’t be another going back until 7:30 am. I think i could take an airplane home because it’d be only an hour trip but i don’t have an ID. Wayne indicates that he might want to fly back too and will meet me in the morning. I’m beginning to feel a sense of panic because i can tell that Wayne isn’t going to put himself out to help me. He makes a phone call to a hotel and tells me they’ll be expecting me and leaves to go check in to his hotel. I get to the hotel he called for me (it’s the one i’ve been to before in dreams and is attached to the airport) and go in a room. I’m wondering how i’m going to pay for the room or get home. Morph into another dream…

I’m at somebody’s house in a subdivision. The lawn is green and recently mowed. There are some guys washing a car on the cement driveway. I park my car on another part of the cement driveway and go into the house. It’s Betty’s house and Bobo is in the kitchen filling a glass with water. I say hello to him and go up the hall to see if Betty is around. I can’t find her and go outside and sit in my car. I put the windows down about halfway and a breeze of nice fresh air blows through my car. My purse is in my car so i take it into the house. I’m telling Scott about going to DC with Wayne and not having any identification of money and how annoyed i was that Wayne wouldn’t help me even though i know that that’s just how he is. Scott is sympathetic. I see out the window that the sky is dark and it looks like it’s raining. I think i should go out and close the windows on my car and get my purse and realize i already have my purse. It’s not raining hard so i decide not the close my car’s windows. Wake up.

Yikes. That’s the kind of experience that’ll send me into a panic in awake life. No ID, no money, all alone. I’m charging my phone right now! Being lost and alone and without any money is my irrational fear.
