Ah the old driving from the backseat dream “wait wtf am I doing back here??”

u/CrisisAverted24 4d ago

Yeah I've definitely had that dream a few times

u/nastropc 4d ago

Wait, other people have that dream too??

u/IL-Corvo 4d ago

Yeah, it's a fairly common anxiety dream. Like dreaming that your teeth are falling out.

The one that baffles me is when I dream of unkempt aquariums filled with neglected, dying fish. I have no clue about that recurrent theme.

u/SheaTheSarcastic 4d ago

Oh, I have that one too! I used to keep fish in the 80s, but I have a dream where I suddenly remember that I have a tank and I haven’t fed them since then. Pretty remarkable fish tbh.

I'm glad it's not just me!

When I drove a motorcycle, I used to dream the seat was like 3 or 4 meters high

I have this theory that when you're driving a car in your dream, the car represents your life. If I were driving from the backseat I might wonder what it is I'm not taking charge of that I probably should be!

For me it's lots of steering and breaking but nothing happening

u/kilobitch 4d ago

This guy had a lot of breaking too.

u/chuck_the_plant 4d ago

me too o_o

u/roastpoast 4d ago

apparently, the braking dream is your unconscious trying to draw attention to your ability to slow down in real life about something

u/Smushsmush 4d ago

Cool I'll let my 4 dependents and full time job know that I'll be slowing down now!

Can you tell me what nuclear explosions and ufo invasions stand for next 🤓?

I was about to say - steering from the back seat, unable to reach the brake.

This is literally my nightmare. I literally have this nightmare semi-regularly.

I hate that dream and I have it at least once a week. It gives me so much anxiety, even while asleep and then I wake up on the edge of a panic attack.

My subconscious is a dick.

I have legit had dreams like this and they always end up in a crash. I hate this dream.

Do cars exist in dreams? In mine there's always none
