Default Do you dream about your car?

So last night I took an allergy pill (Zirtec D) right before bed, first time this season I've used it in the evenings. Holy crap was I restless all night! I dreamed most of the night about my car- figidy kind of dreaming. It was all there in detail- removed the complete interior, swapped in a red+black sport one. Removed all 4 wheels, upgraded the suspensionall around. Pulled the motor, bored it out, put on a turbo kit. It was badass!

Now mind you this is compete smack because I don't know how to do any of this crap! Yet I was doing it in detail in my dream. I think I've been reading these boards so long I've reinvented my past experiences! Last time I dreamed about my ti I was obsessed with getting 17" round spoke wheels from a Z3 and just missed winning an ebay auction.

LOL ... too bad all the work wasn't done on the car when you woke up!

i think you obsess on anything long enough and you'll end up dreaming about it. the WORST is when you dream of your work ... BLECH! can you swap in a m3 motor on my car in your next dream? that'd be sweet ...

I had a dream a few weeks ago about getting into a bad traffic accident.
No personal injuries or anything but my car was fubar and I woke up pretty mad.

Now that you mention it, I did have a dream about the car last week.

I came outside, and the car was halfway in the street. Snow had been plowed around it, preventing it from rolling any farther into the street. I went to start the car and it started spitting oil and making horrible noises. I open the hood and the entire drivetrain was missing. Everything was stripped out of the car. I thought, "I'm glad I bought those wheel locks, that saved them from being stolen".

Thinking back, how could the engine have even turned over, if it didn't have an engine in it.

Dream sometimes make no sense. The best ones are the ones you can rationalize your way out of.

I know how you feel! I had a nightmare about a huge flood that destroyed my car. I hate how visual nightmares can be. I woke up and immediately checked to make sure it was okay!!

better than getting up in the morning, going out and looking in the spot where you remember it being parked and it's not there. then you wander around the parking lot of your apt complex and you don't see it ... slowly you realize it's been STOLEN! luckily, that was not with my ti.

i think i have the WEIRDEST dreams EVER, though they dont involve my car...

couple nights ago i had a dream that i was stuck in the story 'tom and huck' except i was at nc state instead of wherever the story really took place. it was weird...engine/injun joe was after me and stabbed me with a spear in my left eye, but i was still alright...it was so real too...and the whole time while i was asleep, i thought i was really sprinting around campus hiding from injun joe...then all of a sudden it was time to move out, so my mom came to pick me up and i had a spear stuck in my eye...i was like 'mom we have to get out of here now...injun joe is chasing after me and trying to kill me!' and she replied 'nonsense rob you are being silly...lets take our time, id like to check out the campus a little bit!' so then i was trying to hide myself from injun joe, but joe wasnt after my mom, just me...it was soo weird...

im not even going to get started on the dream about the army of finish hamsters that tried to recruit me for their 'army of spirit' to take over the whole world, which ended with me running through the mall and hididng in a cheese shop...

I have had my ti for several months now, and still, EACH time I get in it, even going to work every morning, I look forward to it... I don't think I have had any actual dreams about, but driving it normally is almost a waking dream...
