 Many of my wanderings involve rugged backroads or spectacular roads
that
traverse mountainous terrain. I am drawn to remote rivers which wind
their
way through canyons and so many of my dreams involve the difficulties
that one encounters in taking a vehicle into those areas.

Typical situations involve steep and winding roads that are narrow,
muddy
and without guard rails but the two dreams that often recur regularily
are
one in which I'm trying to go up a very steep road with no turn-outs -
no
way to stop and turn around and the road becomes so steep that the
vehicle can no longer make progress and the vehicle just stops .. and
then starts sliding backward.... ick....

The other is coming down a steep and winding road and despite my best
attempts to save the brakes and gear down the brakes start to fade just
as a wide sweeping curve comes into view.. with no guardrails and a
sheer sloping drop to a huge lake and of course the vehicle leaves the
road and starts down this rocky slope towards the water... accelerating
faster and faster as myself and my occupants look on in disbelief and
to each other realizing that at any moment we are going to launch
on our final journey... double ick....

Of course, the other side of the coin is real-life close calls of which
I'd
had a few and sometimes remember back as to how fortunate I was
to have survived them.

One in particular was one in which I was approaching a car in the
opposing
lane waiting to turn... and then it was nailed by the car behind it and
because
he has his wheels turned in anticipation of his turn.. he was
catapulted
into my lane

I had no time to stop and my only 'out' was to steer right and try to
evade the oncoming car... which.. I did .. almost... he caught my
left rear quarter panel. I was driving an SUV and he was in a
small economy car. No injuries but the damage to the SUV was
a bashed in quarter panel while the damage to the small car was so
substantial that it was 'totaled'.... That left a huge impression on
the on the difference between larger and smaller vehicles when
they are involved in a wreck.

 Do you ever have dreams where your hobby sneakily pokes its way in? This
morning, during post REM-cycle sleep, I had a dream where I was traveling on
a four-lane boulevard, heading towards some unknown beach.

By chance, I looked up and saw some awkward advance-signage for an
Interstate crossing. The overhead featured an Interstate shield, but
instead of having a legitimate route-number included on the mid-to-lower
blue region of the shield , it read "1/2". Interestingly, under the shield,
it said "...mile ahead". ;)

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

Any night that doesn't have a roadgeeky dream in it is weird for me.
Tonight, I had a couple; they usually involve trip planning, driving,
and/or photos of route shields and signs.

This will be one for Ripley's Believe it or Not:

Some years ago I was driving southbound on I-81 near Watertown, NY.
I was getting drowsy and stopped for a nap. While napping, I had a
dream. In this dream I was stopped for speeding and got a ticket. The
officer was in a red and white patrol car.

Upon awakening, I remembered the dream, but felt it was unlikely to
happen because NY State Police cars at that time were blue and yellow.
That afternoon, it happened EXACTLY the way I dreamed it. I was
stopped on I-390 in Dansville by a Livingston County Deputy in a red
and white patrol car.

Highways, bridges and tunnels under construction, are regular
occurrences. Usually it represents a real highway project, such as I-64
through the mountains, the Baltimore tunnel, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge,
etc., but sometimes the design is very different from the reality, such
as a Woodrow Wilson Bridge that is several miles long with a parallel
bridge being built several hundred yards from the existing bridge, or
the existing bridge being widened by one lane each way.

Dreams IME are just mental "noise" that occurs during sleep and they
really don't mean anything significant.

 I dream about roads very, very frequently. It is often intermingled
with other things, but usually some reference to a road, road sign,
road idea, etc seems to be a common theme in my dreams. It is not the
only theme, though. I think my subconscious is pretty well rounded, I
shall say.

I used to dream about roads much more frequently than I do now.

Hills have been the most distinct ongoing "meme" in my road dreams.
Invariably, the hills are overly steep, the vehicle is going too fast,
bounding on going out of control.

Every once in a while the hills were replaced by one extremely steep
high-rise bridge in the middle of a flat stretch of highway.

My least favorite dream happens every so often when driving back
through my dream-mind's eye version of Pennsylvania, in which case
there's always an extremely steep valley which has prompted me "in the
dream" to beg whoever's driving either to stop and turn back, or slow
the hell down.

Moving to Chicago in the last year and few months, the dominant
transportation meme has become the train system. It's always the same
train "line" as well, which passes through some imaginary part of
Chicago roughly on the northwest side but eons away from any blue or
red or brown line corridor, and then somehow "jumps" over all of the
suburbs and goes straight to the "country", at which point the train
line runs in the middle of I-94 in rural Wisconsin, with train stops
every two miles or so (at interchanges), literally in the middle of
nowhere.
