This is a recurrent dream. I saw it often when I was a kid and a few times after that.

There's a street that leads past a gas station. I'm sitting in a formula 1-car and driving past it. I drive and drive towards the city that I can see ahead of me. It's dark but I can see the streetlights and such.

Then I drive past the gas station again. The station is deserted but there are lights inside and I can see all sorts of gas station things. I drive past it again. And again. At which point I'm starting to panic because I'm supposed to get to the town. It's still dark and I'm trying to stop at the station to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I can't. I just keep driving till I wake up.

Except the last time I saw the dream. I was 15 or something. I was driving, as usual, and passing the gas station. This time it was a bit different though. There were some other people on the road too who never were there before. It's darker than usual and I'm very afraid of the situation. The gas station has lights as well. It looks almost like it was open although there's no one there whom I could see. I pass the station every once in a while like always but this time I listen to the radio as well. From the radio a voice tells me that the other people are catching me up and when they do that I will be doomed. They drive past me occasionally, I think it was the driven rounds that counted, not the speed. Or then they were just trying to scare me. I don't know, but they succeeded in the latter.

Which is when I finally pull over at the gas station. I don't mean to that and at this point I'm very afraid because I know I have to keep driving to escape the people who are after me. And then there's someone at the gas station with me. A dark, slender figure and I can't see his face. I know it's him even if I don't really know if he's human (yay). He's supposed to work at the gas station and has gotten to the work early. He tries to help me get back on track but for some reason this doesn't succeed very well. We push and pull the car to different directions and then the people chasing me finally appear.

The guy tells me there's a shed in the back of the station and I can go hide there. He seems to know I'm in trouble although I don't know how. Nevertheless, I run to the backside the gas station where's a shed of some kind. Which is when it gets lighter. I hide under the tires and hear the person who helped me explain that he hadn't even seen me, that he had no idea why the car was there and that he had just arrived. Then he asked them to leave the gas station because he was going to open it.

It was definetely getting lighter when I got out of the shed. The gas station was surrounded by some kind of huge wasteland, I could see mountains of rubbish everywhere around me. I could also see the people who were looking for me disappear behind one of the mountains.
The sky is cloudy but it's definetely morning. The light is very gray and faint, somehow, but I know it's going to be a sunny day. It's cloudy the way that the clouds will disappear the minute the sun rises a bit higher. It's also cold and wet, and it's definetely summer.

I get back to the gas station. The guy isn't there anymore, I'm thinking that he must have gone to lead the mean people astray but I'm not sure.
The car starts easily and when I speed up I can see the city at the distance. There are huge metal skyscrapers that glow under the rising sun. I took a crossing to the right though and continue driving away from the city. I drive through some of the wasteland and worry about them seeing me. But I'm sufficiently safe because I've taken some precautions. Like, I'm driving quite slowly, so that they can't see me (?). I end up driving on a road that's not far away from our house and suddenly the sun gets above the clouds and makes everything dazzle in my eyes.

Which is when I woke up. I haven't seen the dream or any variation of it since.
