Jin wakes up from a nightmare of a traffic accident. It drives him “I had a dream one day: I was sleeping in my car and a friend was
to the very spot and he discovers the aftermath of a real accident.
He follows the police to the suspect’s home and watches as Ran denies
the hit-and-run accusation since she was asleep the entire night.
The police arrest Ran but Jin is convinced that there’s an unexplainable
connection between the two: when he dreams, Ran unconsciously acts
out his dream in her sleep.
driving it for me when we got in an accident. Strangely though, when
I woke up from that dream, I couldn’t help thinking that I was the
one who had caused the accident. I was still only half awake when
I started writing a story. The state of being half asleep and half awake
could be a dream or a nightmare. As we walk through life, we meet
people we are destined to meet and there is no way to avoid crossing
paths.”
