How often do you dream about cars?

Fox Body · 07-02-2001, 12:26 PM

Man, this morning, I woke up with a smile on my face.

Last night, I dreamt that a good friend of mine (even though I can't remember his name, nor have I ever seen him b4

) was selling his '99 Cobra. He told me that all he had left to pay on it was $1600 and that if I just payed that off, I could have it. Whooooaaaaaa!!!

In reality, I have been wanting a Cobra for a while, and was thinking about buying one when I graduated and staying out of school for a year then going to graduate school the following fall, but I didn't want to have to worry about car payments during my graduate school. But in the dream, for only $1600 I could easily buy it off b4 grad school started and keep up with insurance payments while in grad school.

Oh yeh, and the Cobra was in mint condition. Only one thing though........ it was an AUTOMATIC

! I even got to test drive it: sweet.
Uh, i don't know, an auto?, but hey it's a Cobra (?). Gonna be hard to pass up. Luckily the dream ended and I didn't get a chance to enter into any agreement (cause that'd be a hard decision for me).

After I was awake for a while, something hit me: a good friend of mine just bought a long-awaited '96 Mystic Cobra. I went to the Ford dealer where he works and checked it out. It's really pretty. I guess in many ways, he fulfilled my Cobra desires (even though mine'd be a '01). Kinda like a preview.

I already told my Mustang (the Fox) that I wouldn't like the Cobra more than it, I just need an everyday car, the Fox would still be my love.

TONS, I mean TONS of my dreams involve cars. I've had some might strange ones to.

I had a dream that I got a AC Cobra 427 s/c. I was so happy. Me and my girl were driving down this road and bumped into some friends. We went out to eat and when we came back out of the restraunt, my car had deflated. I remember saying "Oh NO, I've been ripped off, I got one of those cheap inflatable replicas." The body on teh car was inflatable.

So in my dream i had to patch my cars body and re inflate it. Then the body blew out while driving down the street.

Had two dreams like that.

And another one I remember was that I had gotten a 68 1/2 Mustang Fastback with the 428 Cobra Jet, me and my friend went to go cruising so we hopped in. I bragged about having so much power. I cranked the car and it spun tires in Nuetral, or park while cranking it up it had so much power

Dont ask.

Also had a dream I stole (well took for a joy ride) a 66 ragtop and went cruising in it.

Had a dream about my old mustang. I got up and looked out the window to see two figures sitting in it. It was night so I was squinting, then the interior lights came on and it was two decaying corpses in my trying to put the seat belts on. They looked like me and my girlfriend at the time, Diane. They saw me looking at them and told me to never forget to buckle up.

THere are so many more, but I better end my post now before I get carried away.

Hmm is it bad that I don't recall ever dreaming about cars? I mean like night-time dreaming. I daydream ALL the time, and think about my Mustang and doing things to it all day, so maybe my brain gives itself a brake at night. I think I have finally figured out what I want to do with this car and it doesn't involve anything I can't do myself for once

Excellent thread.

Actually, my dreams are the inspiration behind most of my ArtWork (Most of it is dreary and dark, except my automobile related peices) and my stories.

The coolest CAR dream I've ever had I'm trying to make it into a story (kinda like Christine, but substationally diffrent) or I'm thinking about trying to make it into a cartoon (NOT A KIDS CARTOON, More like Anime, nitty gritty stuff) But I lack the equipment and time to make a cartoon. I though about trying my hand at Computer animation.

It was one of the very few dreams that never involved me. Its was awesome, thats all I can really say, I think it would make one Kick A$$, supernatural, Suspense, car movies.

How come everyone I know says I need to get checked by a shrink.....Read my last post in Tired of LIFE, And things going Wrong. That might give you all a glimpse.

Hey bro, I was just razzing ya a bit. We all have a few skeletons in the closet and everybody has things go wrong. My bad if I hit a nerve, I didn't mean anything serious by it at all.

On another note, are you any good with flash? I have an awesome idea for a rice burner flash cartoon but I lack the flash skills as of right now. Just an idea to maybe at least get your idea into some form of animation.

I kept having dreams after I messed up my motor in my mustang. Last night I had a dream I got my 85 astrovan (astrohell) running, although the engine still knocked and it didn't even seem like my van. Cars are always messed up in dreams, once I had a dream I had an 87 Grand National, but it had ugly tan leather interior with a bench seat-it was sick.
