i was traveling for work and they let me take some time off and paid for a rental car. i waited all day in the seedy rental car office and they gave me this tiny one-seat race car.

I tried to leave but couldn’t get the car into gear so they gave me this ugly, monstrous motorcycle. Twenty feet long, leaking fluids and very wide tires. It doesn’t respond to steering or manual controls and just goes where it wants.

The bike takes me into the car rental place and down several flights of stairs. I’m riding through the hallway of a deep underground movie theater and I don’t want to see a movie. I want to get on the highway and go home for a break. I finally find an elevator and I just ride over some people to get in and push buttons to go up.

i ride to the top of a parking garage and find a place to get fuel on the top level. I lose the fuel cap and gasoline is spraying everywhere. the guy from the car rental place is now off duty, here on his way home, and laughing at me.

the bike smells bad. i can’t “smell in dreams”, but I just know that it’s foul.

i find the fuel cap and try to leave but the parking garage is like a Borg cube/ferry in a river traveling somewhere and I can’t control the bike. I ride off the edge and my stomach flips as I’m falling but I don’t land in water, I land on a walkway over the water.

the walkway leads me to a narrow airport concourse.

and it just went like that, always falling like a hundred feet to a light rail track, riding that into an outdoor weed festival and asking for directions to get out of Tennessee, only to just constantly wind up somewhere else inappropriate for this ridiculous motorcycle

    Odd question. But do you ever get a dream where your driving a vehicle But from behind the drivers seat somehow? I’ve has this one a few times. I havnt driven in over a decade so it may just be a me thing.

      from behind the driver’s seat? like in the back seat, or outside the vehicle, but still controlling where it goes? I’m not sure I understand. my worst dreams as an adult have been driving related or traveling related

        Yhea I’m like reaching around the actual seat. Despite not using the acceleration peddle or breaks the car still moves fast enough to damage thing’s. Its not going fast but I can’t stop it. Somtimes it rolls towards traffic and I have stear it around while trying to fumble into the drivers seat but I never seem to be able too. I’m usually just stuck I that situation untill I crash into somthing and need to explain to somone that I was driving that way. I never know why.

          dreams are interesting. dreams offer insight to what your mind is up to when you’re not paying attention. it’s cool to write them down and ponder.

          but dream analysis is silly to me, so I’m not sure what to say

            Agreed. Though I ask wondering it this was a common one like teeth falling out or flying. Though (I think) they without any deep meaning. The shared common dreams are fascinating
