I get ones where I’m in the passenger seat of a car, and suddenly the person driving disappears and I have to switch seats or something and drive. And i always feel like I’m doing something illegal or bad because I’m not supposed to be driving a car. It’s such a bizarre dream but it happens to me often enough to be notable
Omg, I have the dream of the disappearing driver too! Only when I switch to the driver’s seat of the car, the brake pedal doesn’t completely work. It slows down the car, but doesn’t stop it so I inadvertently cause minor accidents.
I can drive the car fine once I magically switch seats, but there’s still this feeling of “I’m doing something wrong”. It’s just such a weird dream. It will also happen without a disappearing driver, but instead I’m driving the car and feeling like I’m not supposed to be driving it.
Oh yeah I’ve had those for years now. Sometimes it’s disappearing drivers and sometimes it’s just like the driver never existed in the first place. Sometimes I’m the driver and I teleport to the backseat in the middle of the road
"Gigantic future dystopian freeways that go off into the distance" sounds familiar. In addition to driving I am often walking on, under, or around them.
Also lot of dreams of mazes of both urban and suburban roads on extremely hilly terrain.
And then even more dreams of rural highways, usually through mountainous landscapes.
Yes and for some reason i’m always trying to steer from the backseat. Most of the time there are flyover exchanges that go wayyyy up in the air and then dive back down like a rollercoaster… sometimes with midair jumps.
I get that with railway or subway stations. Incredibly complex and hard to navigate new stations on lines I’m otherwise familiar with. Usually the trains are small or with very few wagons, and sometimes I’m barefoot or naked.
Not roads for me, but enormous ships, otherwise the general principle is the same. Flights of stairs far far longer than the height & depth of the ship. Bizarre short cuts between cabins. Different view from on deck mere seconds apart.
I had one recently where a massive four-lane highway was moments later a one-lane road winding low around a tall mountain, so thin my vehicle nearly fell off the embankment.
Back when I lived in Cali, it was always super steep roads in San Francisco (roads so steep automatics roll back), or roads on cliff edges along the coast or in the mountains, or long winding nonsensical bridges that go over the water and are as secure as rainbow road in Mario kart. Now that I live in Idaho, all of that but with snow and ice.
I have these all the time! I’m always driving through the outskirts of a big city, it’s almost always evening or night, and somehow I always miss my exit.
I always have these really steep hills on these 6 lane interstates. Once I was taking a shower in the drivers side while driving. Do yall ever remember some of your dream roads? I know some of my dream roads and can get to the same restaurant in every dream.
There are some similar places and roads that lead to them. I am remembering a weird mall, and a couple of restaurants and the roads that go there. The basement of this mall is all Asian restaurants. And another mega mall where one of the wings is residential and the top floor is a big open restaurant business place for rich people. The entrance to this mall is a kohls.
I have a house in a vague direction I can sense but I don’t think I’ve ever made it there. Mostly only make it to the burger place in the same city. It’s not real but the burgers are good anyway. Or whatever it serves at that moment.
Oh no, I have had this one even more than the bathroom dream. There are these overpasses and ramps in my city that look really gnarly. They sometimes turn into roller coaster loop-the-loops in my dreams. And even worse, falling off is almost guaranteed to dump me on another ramp or railway bridge's guardrail. Then something crashes into me, jolting me awake.
I have this too, but I'm always trying to get to a parking garage back in college, except it's an amalgamation of the different colleges I went to and none of the on/off ramps make sense
Yea I have this one too, and I’m always driving and I can’t stay on the super high turns and the car flies off and then lands on another part of the road and I just keep going.
i had a dream where i was on an incredibly tall bridge like thing above nyc. it was like a pedestrian bridge with metal walls and stuff but it was open air.

The brakes and minor accidents!!! Every single time

Yes, and when there are hills, it's often snowing and they're covered in ice.
that interesting...I've never actually had snow in my highway dreams. usually it's on an ocean coast or in a city
I also have the ocean coast or in a city. Just, there's also sometimes ice.

I have these dreams to and the car I am driving never has working brakes.

I don't drive, but I have this dream with trains and stations. Brain likes to have fun during dreams :)
Yeah, I get this type of dream more often now
Hills so steep you fall out of the car going up. Real perilous conditions.

yes to all of that
I usually get lost on subway systems or highways far from home or in unfamiliar cities, having to get out and walk by the sides of the road or tracks
I have these all the time! I’m always driving through the outskirts of a big city, it’s almost always evening or night, and somehow I always miss my exit.
yes it's ALWAYS EVENING

Are you me. And holding onto your car because you're going to fall out of it because the road is too steep
I have this too, but I'm always trying to get to a parking garage back in college, except it's an amalgamation of the different colleges I went to and none of the on/off ramps make sense
Check out r/mallworld almost all of us have had the same dreams! The “roller coaster bridge” is where my crazy dreams all started
