Out of Body, Out of Car

October 2, 2008

I wrote the following dream I had on September 29, 2005. I edited the grammar.

…Last night I had a dream. In this dream I felt as if I was a completely different person. I dreamt I was someone who was confident, who was rebellious, who was sure of one’s actions and was certain of convictions. I also had an ego and this sense of vanity about myself in the dream.

In my dream I had this beautiful black monster of a car. It was like a black camaro, but bigger, bulkier, and it roared to life when I sat in it. It looked and felt like it was literally eating the pavement it was riding on.

It was not a normal car, even though I would sit in it and drive. Driving in this car was normal and fine for awhile and then I would find myself or rather my mind being “left behind” as if my mind was no longer in the car. It was as if my mind de-tached itself and stayed in one place while watching the car and myself in it continue forward. I was watching the car dissapear in traffic or around street bends. Knowing I was still in the car, but with no ability to see where I was going, I panicked. I would turn my head slightly to the right and suddenly I would “snap” back into my body which was in the car. I would continue as normal. This happened a few times.

Finally I found myself driving down the road and my mind began to drift. Before I know it, I could see the car roaring out in front of me and around the bend where I lost track of it. I was left “stranded” on the road, yet I knew my body was still in the car. Panicking I suddenly looked into the sky to my left. What happened next was quite different. I did not “snap” back into my body. Rather in one sweeping motion, I saw the car coming back around the bend towards me at an incredible speed [in an instant] and striking me [which brought me back into my body which was in the car] and taking off into the sky where I had looked. Before I knew it I was in the sky in this roaring beast of a car – it was flying! And somehow subconsciously I was controlling it – yet it seemed out of my control.

The connection between my body, mind and the vehicle was profound.
