A nearby city was recently hit by a tornado. I had been having nightmares about tornados. I remember one dream very vividly. A tornado warning was issued in the city. I was worried about my family but I realized they were not in town. I got in my car to drive to a safe shelter. Fast winds were blowing and for some reason building were on fire all around me. It felt like there was a meteor shower and a storm. I was desperate to find shelter. I didn’t want anything to happen to me or to my car. I drove around and found a building barely holding up. I wanted to get inside but there were injured people blocking the way. I could have run inside but I really wanted to take my 1999 model car inside with me. It did not even cross my mind to help the people around me. I drove past a man who was helpless and on fire. I safely got inside the building. My dream was over but my nightmare wasn’t. I still wonder that if I was really in a situation like above, would I have helped the man or not. I have heard that dreams are a reflection of what you really are. I hope it is not true for me.
You're not selfish, you're just a se;f-preservationist. Besides, how can you help people if you're not alright yourself?

The thing that worries me the most is that I was worried about the stupid old car. I have insurance, I don't know why it did not occur to me in my dream. I could have saved lives if I wasn't so worried about my car
