Everyone has those recurring bad dreams … what is your nightmare?

Mine is driving across a bridge that spans a deep gorge and suddenly there I am in my car, going through the railing and floating down into oblivion... I always awake right before I crash into the boulder strewn ground. It hits me every now and again and started as best I can remember, in my 20's or maybe early 30's.

I used to have a similar nightmare at times...driving a little too fast on the high suspended looping overpasses that connect Boston to New Hampshire or Maine and suddenly the road just...ends...and you have a moment of sheer horror while you go over the edge, right before you wake up.

@4meAndyou so, a specific and real bridge. Maybe you were in a car on that bridge when you were young and it frightened you? I don't put much faith in the idea that dreams have meaning, but maybe.

@Ontheroad 🤣 Nope..I was on that bridge and overpass when the ex was driving and it traumatized me for a long time. I started having a fear of heights right around then.

@4meAndyou Okay, that makes perfect sense.
