The thing is, I pride myself on being able to accurately predict what other drivers are going to do before they do it. Anyone who rides a motorcyle has to be able to do this.
For example, the other day, I was at a red light headed north. The light in the southbound direction turned green and a few cars took a left in front of me. Then the light turns green in my direction. I creaped into the intersection at >5 mph because I saw an SUV hurtling towards the intersection in the left lane. Sure enough, he pulls into the left turn lane and tries to take a left in front of me (he no longer has the green arrow). I come to a complete stop and LAY on my horn. I see that he is talking on his cell phone and oblivious to the near head-on collision he has almost caused. Then, suddenly, he realizes what he has done and swerves back into the southbound lanes, nearly hitting my front end and causing traffic behind him to have to slam on the brakes.
I guess what really bothered me about the dream was that I didn't predict that the truck with the boat would stop, and wasn't prepared for it.
