About the Story:
Can a dream tell us the thing about future and give us the opportunity to changing it? This story is about a man's dream. He and his family was going vacation in Tain l'Hermitage, a town in south of France. For day he just drove the car around the town, and he was totally tired. He could think nothing except cars.

My Comment:
I don't really believe that dreams can tell us about the future. It is hard to believe. If we can see the future in the dream, then the future was surely exists, then we are not free to act in the ways we wish to, and we are not responsible for our own life.
