Dreamer – Peter James

‘Sod you.’ She swung the Jaguar’s steering wheel, then heard the angry horn of a taxi right beside her. She braked cautiously and blinked, as water splashed onto her windscreen. She switched on the wipers, and everything blurred for a moment. She pulled over into the right- hand lane, and headed up Fitzjohn’s Avenue towards Hampstead. A white Ford Capri sitting up on huge wheels drew up on her inside and a yobbo gave her the thumbs up. She shivered. No, she thought.

It wasn’t possible. It could not be happening. The same white Ford Capri as she had seen in her dream. The same yobbo. Making the same gesture. Don’t be ridiculous, she told herself. Coincidence. That’s all. She turned away contemptuously, then dropped down into second gear and floored the accelerator. She heard the roar of the engine, felt the tail of the Jaguar snake as the rear wheels spun, then eased off, felt the tyres bite and the surge of power as she accelerated forwards. There was a car moving slowly in front, and she pulled right across, overtaking in the oncoming lane.

Headlights were coming down the hill towards her and ice-cold fear swept through her. No. Please God, no. The lorry from the dream. Bearing down. She heard her own engine screaming, slammed the gear lever forward and there was a fierce clacking and the stick kicked violently in her hand. The car began to slow down, the headlights almost on top of her now.

She stabbed the gear lever forward again, and jerked the wheel hard to the left. The lorry passed her, inches away, shaking her with its vibration and slipstream. Shit. She saw the police car coming down the hill, slowing, as if it was looking for somewhere to turn and come after her, and she felt a cold hand around her forehead, tightening like a vice.

The dream. It was the dream. Exactly, everything. She wanted to stop, turn around, go back. She turned right, drove down the street that could have been the one she had driven down in her dream, but might not have been, and then left into Hampstead High Street.
