I was on a school bus, and I was down at the bus stop near the Augusta and Rockingham County borders. We were in the process of trying to turn around and leave the area. I think the bus gave out or something, and we couldn't get it to go anywhere. We were sitting there for a while waiting to get the bus repaired so we could keep on going. The bus, as I remember it, didn't feel much like a school bus, but more like a charter bus. I think there was a bathroom in the back and everything.
I was talking to a few of the people, but I don't remember about what. Then after a short bit of time, some of us started getting off the bus. After just meandering around the outside for a little bit, someone came across some sort of little "personal transports" that could carry one or two people each. I think there were a lot of them, and so we each wound up getting on one. Some people were sharing with other people, and some were solo. I think that there was someone on mine with me, but I don't know who it was. These things were small and white, and almost resembled over sized tricycles. Pretty soon, though, we all realized that they didn't have wheels.
We were looking at them trying to figure out how to get them to go, and all of a sudden I jumped on mine with an idea. When I got on, I willed it to pick up and move, and it did. It hovered about a foot above the ground and took off. I was part of the way down the road towards Weyers Cave before anyone else caught on. Finally a few others did, and they were catching up to me. It kind of turned into a little race, and so I willed mine to go faster. I think I somehow realized that these things could only go about 45 MPH at the top speed, but I kept pressing it to go a little faster. I think I may have hit about 60 before I came up to the sign that said to slow down to 35. The thing is that it didn't feel like I was going that fast. I actually felt pretty slow, like I was doing about 20 or so, but when I hit the 35 MPH sign at the edge of the subdivision there at the edge of Weyers Cave, my transport suddenly lurched and slowed down, and I knew that I was supposed to be now going 35. I thought it was kind of cool that it could read the speed limit signs and act accordingly, but I wanted to go faster.
I wound up starting into the "downtown" area of Weyers Cave, and I pulled off to the side somewhere. The street was very narrow, like it was only about 15 feet wide or so. The person that was riding with me got off the transport and went into one of the buildings. I looked around, the many of the buildings were light gray or white, as was the road area. The trees, sky, and sidewalk were all normally colored, though. It was a strange contrast. I think I got off of the transport and parked it in some sort of little alley.
Another thing that I noticed was that the buildings were rather dense along here. They were packed fairly close together, most of them were 2 story, and it made the area feel almost like it was in a ravine of some sort, or maybe some sort of maze. I think I started looking for a particular building (perhaps the school), but the dream ended about here.
