It was sabbath. I was driving my sister around in my Dad's car (which actually isn't his car in the real world). We were driving back and forth between a strip mall and a "no exit" road that led to a wooded area, in what was likely a large city park.
As it neared dark, I attempted to stop the car, but after it stopped, it then continued to roll back, even with my foot completely on the brake. It ran into a shopping cart, which cut right up the middle of the trunk, leaving a gash about halfway up. I then turned the car on, shifted into drive, and drove away, but then braking again, it stopped, then started rolling up an incline until it lightly hit a minivan, but the owners reached out of the window to stop our car and push us away.
The momentum from the push carried us out of the parking lot, and back on that country road. I hit the brakes, but again the car wouldn't stop, this time accelerating up a hill. It went right over a staircase railing set into concrete that was the beginning of a trail, and rolled up the hill until it hit something. I saw it crunch the back, and sitting in the back, peering out the left side of the rear window, I felt the crunch--or I thought I did--under the back of my seat, which my chest was pressed against.
We then drove forward, back over the railing, crunching the front badly, and down the stairs, and back to the mall. It was now darkish and the lot was empty. We rolled past an Orange Julius/Manchu Wok/something else in one outlet. I peered inside to see if the Manchu Wok had Chinese food, particularly fried rice, but all they had on the menu was Japanese noodles. Then I woke up.
