I've had a lot of dreams where I'm driving and can't control the car. Often I'm backing out of my driveway and when I hit the brakes it won't stop... maybe just slows down a bit, and drifts on and on into the neighbor's yard, which is a very steep downhill grade, and I can't see very well behind me but I always feel like I'm about to crash through the front wall of their house!!

Other times I'm driving and suddenly I'm not in the car anymore, I'm standing in the street controlling it with a joystick or something, and everything's fine until it goes around a turn up ahead and then I can't see it anymore and I hear it crash.

When I told my friend this once he said it never happened to him - that he could always drive perfectly in dreams - but then I realized he's pretty much a liar most of the time anyway and won't admit that he can't do everything perfectly. So I just want to confirm or deny that this is pretty common in dreams. I suspect it is.

Tell me about your dream driving experiences.
