Last night I had a dream that I was sitting in the back drivers' side seat of a car. Nobody else was in the car and it was barreling down a steep road, along with a bunch of other cars. At the bottom of the hill, the road ended and you could turn left or right but could not continue straight.
As I reached the bottom of the hill, I discovered that my foot could reach the brake pedal and my arms could reach the steering wheel but I could not reach the gearshift. When I stepped on the brake pedal, the car slowed, but not nearly enough and a voice in my head said "Downshift! Downshift!" But I couldn't.
The car kept on descending and the brakes kept on failing and I kept on yelling at myself to shift gears, but nothing was happening. At the bottom of the hill there was a red light, but, unable to stop, I had to blow through it and veered to the left, causing cars to crash and honk and yell at me but I was safe. I just kept on rolling down the street in the back seat of the car, unable to shift gears.
Strange.
